One of the best parts of the fall season around here, is the annual Mum Show.
Tens of thousands of mums, all on display at the Gage Park Greenhouse.
And this year there were many surprises – for we were at the circus!!
It was a miserable wet and windy day when I went, so this magnificent carousel had no riders.
But, inside it was comfortable,
and there were more carousel horses, games of chance, posters, photos...
a dancing bear, (but not a real dancing bear, that's cruel)
Of course, JUMBO was there!
and a lion tamer!
somehow, exclamation marks seem appropriate
and, of course, more thousands of mums
a walk around the greenhouse for Jo's Monday Walk
...what a show, "The Greatest Show on Earth."
ReplyDeleteI prefer Cirque du Soleil, myself
DeleteIt sounds like a fantastic place to see wonderful color! I admire the artists that can make the animals and other creatures. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonder!
DeleteThat's my kind of fun. The elephant in the room is pink and made of flowers!
ReplyDeletehow can you not love a pink elephant, eh?!
Deleteno hallucination here ;)
How glorious!
ReplyDeletethis show sometimes warrants a few visits.
DeleteWhat a pretty pink Jumbo, and the lion and his mate are great! My stepdad loved Mums. They were the only flowers he would grow, in his veg garden. Thanks so much :) :)
ReplyDeleteIt is truly astounding how many varieties of mums there are!!
