Watch out for those mischievous faeries and sprites at 2007 Philadelphia Flower Show!

If you become entranced by all the blossoms at the Waldor Orchids display, you might accidentally step into the mushroom ring pictured here and join the faeries’ joyous dance. Legend has it that those who step into the ring can become lost in their magical mischief…forever.

Oh my, what a beautiful backyard! The patio and pool area at the EP Henry exhibit showcases an idyllic setting for entertaining friends or just relaxing at home.

From the pink lilies in the foreground to an outdoor fireplace on the terrace, this garden shows how EP Henry’s creative hardscaping can improve the quality of your outdoor living spaces. Said one of the designers, “To complete the scene, we’ve incorporated a neat lighting effect that shows how the backyard can evolve from day into night.”

Exhibitor W. Hunter Hayes says that his team’s display—located in Hall B — combines expert stonework and plantings to reflect an authentic Irish woodland. In the center of the display is what’s known as a “wedge tomb,” based on existing stone structures on the Western coast of Ireland that date back to 2500-2000 B.C.

Says the designer, “What we’ve created is a lush wooded setting based in mythology. It represents a intriguing doorway to the next world.”
