Just returned form India and stayed a couple of nights at the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai. As is typical of hotels in Asia the floral displays in their reception are outstanding and this was no exception.

Yes I always wonder how they water them.

That is an amazing creation. It’s so spectacular though, that all you want to do is see inside it. The beauty of the flowers almost is secondary.

Wow! I wonder how many blooms there are in there?! 🙂 Something we can all aspire to on IAVOM perhaps…? I see you are back home so will now be discovering humbler blooms in your own garden…

I can only imagine how lovely all those blossoms smelled – they look stunning! Wouldn’t it be cool to hang out with the people who create that and just watch them put it all together? I wonder how often they have to alter it, or if they just scrub the whole thing and replace with a new creation after a few days.

Now that would be an idea. I guess they do it sometime in the night.

Saw this and the rose display! Grand indeed and ornate – they do things on a large and grandoise scale☺
