• Flowers and Chrome

  The next day we went to EPCOT. Now, when I think of EPCOT, I think of futuristic stuff like this:

  

   

  But it turns out that they had hosted the HGTV Flower Show in February or March. We were all excited to go into the big arena to see things. The outside was lined with “flowers.”

  

   

  And the entry way was pretty neat.

  

   

  But we were a bit disappointed with the inside. There were some flowers, like these cool poinsettias.

  

   

  But for the most part, the arena was empty with abandoned booths. One booth–a gift shop, no surprise–was open. And there we saw the perfect accessory for my mom’s garden!

  

   

  But, what the inside lacked, the rest of the park more than made up for. There were Disney topiaries everywhere!

   

                  

   

  And in World Showcase (the place where they showcase ten countries and have buildings and shops and displays in the style of that country), they made each country’s flag out of flowers. Do you know which countries these are? (Be glad I didn’t give you France, Italy, or Mexico! Those were a bit trickier with floral colors.)

   

   

                                

   

  There was one really cute area (which I think was in EPCOT), a Fairy Flower garden and play area for little kids.  I don’t think this was part of the festival, but it had really neat topiaries of fairies (who were not hairies and were very-ies not scaries). 

   

   

                                   

   

  I really enjoyed the dozens of little fairy houses that were hidden and scattered. There was even a fairy hot air balloon!

  

   

  And this entry was fairy dull (ha ha), but it did have a theme and lots of pictures. So maybe that counts for something?
