The Spring Flower Show in Boston, 2004.03.21

On Sunday, March 21, 2004, a friend and I went to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s annual spring flower show in Boston. (I forget how long it’s been going on, but over a hundred years.)

I forgot to take my “real” camera, so these pictures are taken with a Philips Key 007 memory key cum digital camera, which is small enough that I can just carry it in my pocket or purse all the time. Therefore the picture quality is pretty bad. Sorry about that, but fuzzy pictures are better than no pictures. :-)

I think the label said these were called bellflowers.

Part of a design for an indoor garden for an office space. This particular exhibit was sponsored by a bank. (I forget which one.) The overexposed green thing in the lower right is a weird plastic sculpture of a giant dragonfly, which was suspended on wires.

I forget what this lovely tree was, but I think it was something with "sinica" in its Latin name.

One of a series of displays of arrangements using complementary colours. (It's a bit hard to frame shots on the little USB memory-key camera I was using.)

A series of displays that were supposed to use two parallel lines to indicate thrust. This one was my favourite.

Backlit tree leaves. I think this was a Japanese maple.
