Bonjour, Paris!

Our local museum hosted a free Flower Show with a Parisian theme.

Since no one else in the family was interested in attending, I almost skipped it. However, I treated myself to go as it seemed like a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Many Garden Clubs were competeing in categories written in the beautiful French language.

The two pictures above were located in the section " La Bosquet de la Reine a la Palais de Versailles" 

( The Queen's Grove at Versailles) 

Les Choses Parisien

( All Things Parisian) featured Les Chapeaux, (hats)

Le Marriage ( a French Wedding) with little nosegay bouquets. 

Les Petites was a miniature category.

This orchid was interesting to me because Tori received an orchid as a gift from her fellow and they grow with many of their roots exposed as you can see in this picture.

This blooming Christmas cactus was in the category of Les Amis Ensemble, Friends Together.

This arrangement, a blue ribbon winner was entered in the category L'Houx et c'est Baies,
(Holly and it's Berries).

The museum itself had some decorations to accent the theme.

I was so glad that I went to experience the extravagant beauty of the flowers, the tastefully dressed senior  ladies who prepared them and to see the elegant French language in print.
