The Cincinnati Flower Show at Coney Island opened Saturday to glorious weather -- the first weekend that's felt like spring in about a month. This is the Coney Island on the Ohio River, not the one on Long Island...
The grand marquee had great exhibits -- with forced early summer perennials, plus azaleas blooming about the correct time. The exhibits with the most stealable ideas, however, were the couple dozen window boxes. The grand prize winner was overstuffed with flowers, and would never actually stay looking good all summer in that small a container. However, several competitors assembled windowboxes with NO flowers -- and lots of color.
More commentary to come later, but we're off to a Reds game... two events in one weekend. Can you tell we are no longer proud owners of the Money Pit?
