This gently cascading design reflects the category “Island Waterfall.” Mary Ann Schubert of the Orchard Park Garden Club used Phalaenopsis orchids (also known as moth orchids), roses, Chamelaucium (also known as wax flower) and eucalyptus.

Spring keeps teasing us. We get some mild temperatures, then the ground is coated with frost.
Still, we are seeing snowdrops and crocuses, which are delightful. Pretty soon the hyacinth and daffodil buds will burst open.
Until then, take a look at these gorgeous–and clever– entries from the flower show at Plantasia in 2019. (I know it’s not as good as being able to go to Plantasia this year, but I hope it helps a bit.)
The 2019 Plantasia theme was “Plantasia in Paradise.”
The flower show was organized by the Eighth District Garden Clubs.
Think of a late breakfast on a tropical terrace. In the “Room Service” category, entrants aimed to arrange an attractive place setting on a tray for one. Mary Ann Schubert of the Orchard Park Garden Club used Asteraceae gerbera (gerbera daisy), Chamelaucium (also known as wax flower) and eucalyptus. Photo by Connie Oswald Stofko
Karen Stephans-Mace of the Holland Garden Club created this piece in the “Moonlight” category using Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Snow’ (a conifer), crocosmia, cotton, Pinus parviflora ‘Tanima no yuki’ (pine) and Thuja plicata ‘Whipchord’ (cedar). Photo by Connie Oswald Stofko
You can almost feel the beat with this entry in “Reggae.” Sue Suchak of the Orchard Park Garden Club used craspedia (Billy Balls), Ting Ting and wire. Photo by Connie Oswald Stofko
The driftwood and the colors of the plant material set the scene for “Sunset on the Beach.” Jean Burke of the Hamburg House & Garden Club used palm, protea and artichokes. Photo by Connie Oswald Stofko
Tropical plants were used in this colorful entry in “Tropic Breeze.” It was created by Karen Braun. Photo by Connie Oswald Stofko
