Simfonia Lalelelor, un "fest" european

Recunosc un pic ruşinată că am rămas impresionată de ce au reuşit să facă piteştenii la Simfonia Lalelelor. Am avut şansa pentru o oră şi ceva să vizitez târgul şi am rămas fără cuvinte. Mi-a adus oarecum aminte de Floriade, un eveniment similar din Olanda, pe care am avut norocul să îl prind acum cinci ani în Haarlem. Şi asta e ceva, pentru că Floriade e un târg expoziţional fantastic. Ei bine, să ştiţi pentru anul viitor, merită să vizitaţi Piteştiul pentru o zi ca să vedeţi minunăţie de flori, aranjate în sute de standuri în exterior, dar şi în Centrul Expoziţional, unde decoratorii s-au întrecut pur şi simplu în a face decoruri cât mai spectaculoase. Atmosfera din oraş mi-a plăcut, pavajul din centru mi-a plăcut (nu e cadaveric asemeni celui din Craiova, ci e plin de culori si de viata), biserica Sf. Gheorghe din centru mi-a plăcut...

În fine, până la urmă nu are de ce să îmi fie mie ruşine să recunosc un simplu fapt, şi anume că târgul din Piteşti mi s-a părut mult mai reuşit decât orice manifestaţie din Craiova ultimilor patru ani, ci conducătorilor oraşului ar trebui să le fie un picuţ ruşine de această stare de fapt.

Vă las acum câteva imagini superbe de la târg. Bucuraţi-vă de ele!

Still... pictures of the Floriade.

Actually we do a lot more pictures. But alas the story.... the story that should come with this blog....

Ahhh.... perhaps more time is needed.... before the story sessions begin...

Until that time... this blog is still at the "experiment" stage....

Floriade- Flowers to be Seen

Each year, Canberra hosts its prime festival showcasing tuplips, orchids and nature in all its beauty.

Yes, this event is the one and only Floriade.

Blossoming into action, Floriade is taking place this year 15th September - 17th October as well as hosting the Australian Icons, Myths and Legends theme, so everything from vegemite, BBQs, and your token kangaroos and Ned Kellies of course.The Floriade enthusiasts would already know of the abundance of flowers and exhibitions that are on display but what about everyone else?For those who are not huge flower fans but do enjoy a great day of sights and sounds, lazing in the sun, relaxing walks or just an excuse to head out for an ice-cream, this is the place. There's usually a program published of all the events that are held around this flower festival from scavenger hunts, musical performances, exhibitions, competitions, workshops and did I mention ice-cream?

Families generally love it - the kids get a chance to run around madly, exerting all their energies into exploring the imaginative garden designs while parents can sit back and enjoy the manicured tulip beds… and ice-cream.

Couples love the romance - a chance to steal away from life and into a rich, lush and extraordinary garden.

So for your chance to take a peaceful stroll down the sculptured gardens, get a lesson in flower arrangements or to sit down amongst the flowers to enjoy the live entertainment while eating delicious ice-cream, go to www.standbyrates.com.au to see what Floriade packages are available for you this year at our fine selection of Hotels.
