The Macy's Flower Show

We have attended flower shows in other parts of the country in the past. Generally those flower shows were held in a sprawling, wide open space shopping mall. We were a little perplexed when we saw signs in our local Macy's window advertising a flower show. This particular Macy's is located in the middle of mid-town Manhattan -- not a lot of open space for displaying flowers. Once we entered the store, we were quite surprised to see just how it is done here!

John is standing next to one of several giant flamingoes made of flowers. The flamingo display is in the center aisle where we would usually see tables of sale items or maybe newly introduced items. The colors here are vibrant.


The big light fixture is a normal part of the store. However, the vertical strips of tape surrounding the light are part of the show. I think the flowers are small orchids that are on some sort of sticky tape that holds them in place.



About 85 to 90% of the flowers were atop the display cases located behind sales counters. Some were labeled. One example was "tropical garden;" another was "Asian garden." One wall held primarily green plants alone.
