We went to Galleria’s floral experience with Bachman’s annual show last week.
This year’s theme is Escape to Paradise. Bachman’s fills the mall with beautiful plants and colorful flowers in wonderful designs, and it’s always a delight to see.
Especially this time of year when we are waiting for spring to arrive here in Minnesota. The landscapes are pretty drab outside right now. We can all use a bit of color.
The day we ventured to Galleria was our anniversary. We arrived early to look at the flowers (and search for a frog hidden in each display) and then we ate lunch at The Good Earth. It was lovely.
A sweet story: On our honeymoon, we bought a framed-in-box of preserved iridescent blue butterflies in Puerto Rico. We have always had it hanging in our house somewhere, and it is hanging in our new home now.
When at the Galleria’s flower show it was fun to see pretty, blue magnetic butterflies that took us back in time to a market we visited on our honeymoon – 47 years ago – when we bought our special memento.
Uplifting….
Colorful…
Pleasing…
Perky…
Whimsical…
It was a special day.
Happy anniversary❤️❤️ You guys are doing a good job, 47 years🥳🇳🇴
You have so many fun and interresting places to go around Northfield. I love flowers and would enjoy a display like this😍 All these colourful flowers reminds me of spring and summer and I am so looking forward to that😎🙏
We are looking forward to spring too.
We had several inches of snow last night! It will melt quickly but still…it’s snow. ;-(
We’re going this evening! We usually go on or near Easter so I was surprised to see that the show will be over two weeks before!
I’m glad you are going to see the displays tonight.
Enjoy!
Beautiful! This brought back special memories of when we lived in Minnesota and attended these shows and ate at the Good Earth! I love your special butterfly box memento from your honeymoon. That is a treasure as is your marriage.
Thanks Vicki. It’s fun to learn you’ve attended the flower show in the past.
I only learned about it a few years ago.
Happy 47th wedding anniversary! What a lovely way you found to celebrate this day. That colorful flower show is a welcome visual break from winter. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you. We had a nice time celebrating our day at the Galleria.
I’m grateful the Galleria works with Bachman’s to create this beautiful, free event each year.
Refreshing!
