This year the Philadelphia flower Show's theme connects art and horticulture, with an entrance exhibit interpreting Alexander Calder's renowned art mobile. Each mobile is made from fresh and dried flowers and sits inside a gigantic picture frame. Other museums around the US partnered with designers to create visual displays of art inspired floral designs.The Flower Show is always a sure sign that spring is right around the corner.
