The Macy’s Flower Show

Yes, sadly the annual events at Macy’s in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco, Minneapolis and Philadelphia have been cancelled this year.  I thought you might enjoy, and even need a visit to past shows and the beauty they bring every spring.

The 2017 Show:

A carnival has to have a carousel, and this one is no exception.  A prancing unicorn decked out with lilies, roses and delphiniums.

Lions and tigers and bears?  No, but his lion looked especially ferocious despite the explosion of lilies on his saddle.  

Perhaps a bunny hopping among the blooms would be your favorite carousel animal. 

A rather stern looking rooster rounded out the carousel animals completing a fantasy display.  You can see more of the Carnival show at A Carnival of a Flower Show.  

The 2018 Show:

Once upon a springtime was the theme for the 2018 show.  All manner of fantasy fairytales were incorporated into the displays.  Intricate details like those shown in the base of this fairytale tower make a trip to the flower show like a visit to a faraway fantasy land.  Macy’s makes sure the displays fill the space all the way up to the soaring ceilings of the main floor of the Herald Square store.  A storybook drago is incredibly realistic, and watch out for the fiery breath!  Visit Macy’s Flower Show 2018 to see more of this incredible show!

I dedicate this post today to all of the Macy’s employees around the world who are unable to work today.  May you all stay strong and hopefully return to work as soon as it is appropriate for all of us.

    1. Oh Maria, I came upon it by accident one year, and now I make a point to get to New York to see our son sometime during the show. It is so amazing! I do hope you can see it in person some year! Take care of those grandbabies!
