Albeit the wet and windy day (this month has been unusually wet and windy) the park was full of people, walking around looking at the flowers, sitting by the entertainment stage listening to music, dancing, eating, barbecuing ....oh yes some people were having picnics!
Apart from the music, there were workshops about native gardening and plant propagation, as well as tents selling native flower arrangements and native plants - I bought an orange/red Kangaroo Paw to plant in my garden.
I leave you with some photos to give you an idea of the atmosphere. The 80's music was great, pity the grass was wet and I didn't take a chair, because I would have loved to stay longer.

I like the number plate

| How do you like this vintage caravan? The cold weather didn't entice ice-cream buyers though... |
 |
| Plenty of food for sale near the entertainment area |
 |
| There were 4 Florettes walking around delighting young and old alike |
 |
The Florettes were also having fun dancing to the music  |

| Various Kangaroo Paw plants - the one I bought is similar to the one on the bottom right |
 |
| More wildflowers - I loved the "Lambs ears" bottom right, they were soft as wool
Next year there's more - I hope the weather will be more "Springy" and I will be able to go there on the weekends to listen to the live music entertainment.
Monday will be a Public Holiday in WA - The Queens Birthday - which in Australia is celebrated in different dates across the various states, none of them being on the actual day of Her Majesty's birthday!
Have a great week and hope you enjoyed the flower show.

Love to see the cars flower containers.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Sami!
Thanks for your comment! This festival looked like fun. I love seeing yarn bombings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra.
ReplyDeleteLovely Light - yarn bombings are fun, don't know how they manage to wrap funny shaped objects.
Look at those Florettes! They are amazing!! I am happy to find another Pink fan among my blog friends; I wish you were going to her concert, too. I did have to buy the tickets at the moment they went on sale -- literally!
ReplyDeleteThe Florettes were very cute, the kids loved them. Enjoy your Pink concert, I'll try my best to get tickets next time she performs in
ReplyDeleteAustralia.
Por cá temos tido dias de Outono bem molhados. Bela colecção de carros vintage e óptimos 'outfits' nessa gente mascarada.
ReplyDeleteNot even spring showers can put people off Kings Park. I wanted to get back up to take more shots also, but with all this kitchen business going on I didn't make it! Love these and your previous shots of the spring festival Sami.
ReplyDeleteTrue Grace, Kings Park can be visited in any type of weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Love the yarn bombing. Can I share a post I did in the Summer, Sami? It's FULL of yarn bombing :)
