Hi,
My mother and I used to go every year, I am looking forward to seeing the native plants from hawaii as well as growing some of my own.
I would love to see the orchid display. I would never have the patience and discipline to grow them!
Would love to spend the day at the Flower Show with the family!! Thank you!
I love seeing all the beautiful displays!
Beautiful Show
Beautiful Show
The rare plants are also fun to see. They look so unearthly sometimes, like they’re from an alien world.
There is no 1 part I want to see more then the other parts. I do love lillies though.
I want to see the decorated gazebo displays.
looking forward to the individual displays as well. Just being able to go once again w/ mom.
Love the flower show! Just got laid off need some sunny flowers to cheer me up!
My mom and I go every year and I can’t wait to see all that Hawaii has to offer. Hoping to go there for my 10 year wedding anniversary
my family would love to go to the show! Love the Hawaii theme:)
I look forward to seeing the gazebos.
Also looking forward to going through the vendor booths… Always gives me ideas about what to do in the spring/summer with my yard. 🙂
I’ve never been to the Flower Show or to Hawaii, so this would be a perfect introduction to both!
looking forward to seeing the Hawaiin display!!
Love, Love, Love everything Hawaiian!!!!!
Every year my mother would take me to the flower show on my birthday. I loved it so much that I now go every year with my husband. I look forward to it this year especially because it reminds me of a trip I took as a teenager to Hawaii. I can’t wait to see all of the exotic flower with all of their colors.
I would love to see any display with orchids!
i would loveto smellthe roses!
I try to get there every year with my girlfriends and my daughters but the last one I went to was the Ireland theme. I am so going this year!
I would love to smell the flowers and spend time with my sisters at flower show. A family tradition for many years.
I’d love to take my hubby. The flower show always falls on my hubby’s bday and it’s the one event he looks forward to each year.
My family and I would love to go to the flower show! We have never been. I am sure it is going to be extra special this year because the flowers in Hawaii are amazing! Thanks!
Looking for ideas/ inspiration for designing our own garden beds.
Never been (new to Philly) but I’ve heard so much about it from people in other cities who travel just to see it. Would love to see if for myself!
I love the Home Gardening Section. After attending last year we came home and created our own vegetable garden.
I loved the colors in the pictures/video of the flowers from Hawaii… and to see them in person, would rock! Also, the orchids… That has to be amazing!
I would also like to see how to design my own flower pieces… I am so not good with that!
I cant wait for the American Orchid Society. Orchids are my absolute favorite.
The beauty of Hawaii right here at home! Saves a lot of money I don’t have! Looking forward to the crafts and kiosks they have there as well as purchasing flowers at great prices.
all things Hawaiian!
I always enjoy Robertson’s displays. I’m sure their Paris display will be amazing!
Oops…typo on my part! My brain is in Paris!
I always enjoy Robertson’s displays. I’m sure their Hawaiian display will be amazing!
This would be the perfect gift for my dad’s birthday. We used to go every year when we were little so this would be a great way to bring back the father daughter bonding time 🙂
I enjoy seeing the displays that the local high school complete. My mom went to Lincoln HS, so we always check out the students’ exhibit!
I want to pretend to be in HAWAII and in the nice warm weather!
I’ve never been to the Flower Show and would love to treat myself the week before I’m due to have my third child!
I look forward to escaping to Hawaii for a day!!! I have visited the flower show since I was a child. I love it!! Still miss it being at the Civic Center. But times change. Haha!! And I had the pleasure of working at the show with Miss Jane Pepper. It was great. I learned alot in 3 weeks of set up. Show. Then tear down oy!!
I grew up around orchids all the time as my parents’ hobby and I’d love to be able to photograph the show for them!
My mom and I have always shared a love of flowers. It’s our common ground. Since my Dad’s death, she’ been alone in DE. I live in NJ and don’t see her more than a few times a year. A beautiful day at the flower show would be a cherished memory for my whole family.
I can’t wait for this years show. Hope I win~
Love the flower show!
I always love then they have live entertainment and dancers too, always so beautiful.
I can’t wait to see the aquarium entrance! Such an upgrade from last year!
I really hope to win!!! I go every year with my cousin! And we could each bring a friend or some more fam!
It looks like they have some fun activities for the kiddos!
Plumeria! The most delicious fragrance.
Have never been to the Islands for real…yet…so would love to go to the Flower Show 🙂
I grew up in Brisbane Australia, My Family frequently traveled to the USA, thankfully with a much loved layover in Hawaii. The tropical flowers with visual eruptions of color spoke to me, and remain in my memory. I learned to smell every flower and appreciate its intricate beauty. Now, the spiky foliage, the curvy tongues and explosions of compelling colors of this land of erotic fauna bring back memories. 35 years later now living in New York, I still source out zone 9 and 10 Hawaiian plants for our home, diligently digging and storing as the seasons fold, allowing my childhood recollection continue.

looking forward to the smells, sights and sounds of The Big Island….ALOHA
Have been lucky to travel to PA for the flower show once. Would love to take my family and go again.
Really want my hubby to see the man cave this year. He wasn’t able to go with me in the past and this would be a great year for him to start!
The flowers and plants inspired by Hawaii will bring a sense of peacefulness for me in the midst of a dragging and slow winter!
Excited to see Wedding Wednesday exhibit!!
I would really love to experience this show with my children since i have never been.
The beautiful aroma of Hawaii!
Excited to go to the flower show with my favorite daughter!

I am looking forward to seeing all the flowers that we saw on our honeymoon in Hawaii
I’ve been reminded of how lucky I am to have my mom – two of her favorite things are tea and flowers. My sister & I would love to take her to tea at the flower show.
I am looking forward to the exhibits and the vendors. There are usually some really good deals.
Wish I could afford to go to Hawaii! The flower show would be the 2nd best thing.
I love the feeling of Spring that seeing the Flower Show in Philly inspires! Amazing what displays are set up every year
I would love to go to the flower show especially given this years theme!
I would love to take my daughter to the Flower Show — she will be on her Spring Break from college so the timing is perfect! She has never been there and really wants to go.
I would love to go to the flower show especially given this years theme!
Looking forward to the tropical atmosphere to brighten up this dreary winter!
Would love to take my father and friends to see the show. Looking forward to seeing those beautiful flowers and activities at the event.
I haven’t been to the flower show in over 10 years, back when it was still held at the old convention center in University City. My mom & I both worked in the area but we didn’t get to see each other very often. So we made a ‘date’ after work & casually strolled through the gardens chatting away. The smells were intoxicating and as we passed each exhibit we oohed & aahed at the majestic displays of color, planning our own magnificent gardens! My mom passed away a few years ago and I moved in to care for my dad and her beautiful garden. Money’s tight but I’d love to revisit the show with my dad & grand daughter and maybe get more ideas for mom’s garden.
I see the Camden Children’s Garden will be at the Flower Show—my children love that place and would be excited to see their exhibit.
Would love to go with my mom to spend more time with her!!
I am most looking forward to just spending the day with my mom. I am taking her for her 60th birthday. She adores gardening and it will be nice to get out without the kids for once!
I’m looking forward to seeing EVERYTHING since I’ve never been able to attend the flower show before.
I’m also excited to see the Camden children’s Garden display. It should be interesting!
I/m also looking forward to seeing all the gardening ideas since my mom loves to tend to her flowers and garden at home.
I have never been to the Flower Show – maybe this is the year!

i would love to go to the flower show for the first time with my wife and our son. i heard about the flower show and think he would absoultely love all the colors and flowers as he’s 13 months and just loves taking in new things and he loves flowers!
Would love to take my mom – she does so much for me!
Love all the beautiful flowers, especially this year with the tropical flowers.
I attended with my family every year but haven’t been to the flower show in a few years because of the cost. Would love to view the tropical flowers and see the childrens garden exhibit.
I would love to go to the show and wander around the flowers!
I also enjoy the student show and the vendors at the phila flower show.
I hope I get the chance to experience the BEAUTY! 🙂

I am looking forward to being transported to Hawaii in the middle of March. And I can’t wait to see how the exhibits create waterfalls in their displays.
My husband and I love to go each year when we can to get ideas for our own garden in Havertown. We use it as “date day”! Hope we win as it would be nice to take our daughters with us this year as well as they have also taken an avid interest in gardening and horticulture as well.
would love to see any exotic exhibit
I would love to make it a girl’s day at the flower show. Great place to get ideas for the spring.
Looking forward to seeing the special effects.
I could spend hours walking among plants – especially orchids. The colors and smells are so wonderful – reminds me to live life moment to moment.
I’d like to see some hydrangea, as they were our wedding flower, and our anniversary is coming-up very soon.
