5000 Poppies; at the Flower and Garden show

 So the other day I went to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden show.

Really the display gardens at the show were on a whole average and there was only a handful. I enjoyed the day because flowers and I went with friends but they really need to ramp up the 'garden' bit of the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show

But on to the highlight, the '5000 poppies' group had an awesome display created by Phillip Johnson / Phillip Johnson Landscaping. I'll let the pictures speak for me:

Brought a blueberry plant - poor thing's doomed

Turns out blueberries grow on a bush. Who'da thought it. So I brought 1 last Friday after work. 

And promptly dropped it.

Fingers crossed it'll yet live. The cats have been helping me tend it. :-) And to prove it here is Dude and Fenn critiquing the new blueberry plant.


Dude is taste testing the flowers. Verdict? Wait and see.
Fenn is helping push all the loose dirt from the fall back into the pot and around the roots.
