archipelago

I have a little tradition: ever year I go to see the Spring Flower Show at David Jones (a fancy department store). It's on in the first week of Spring every single year, and every year I'm amazed. The window displays and whole first floor are decked out with live flowers, plants and trees. This years theme is "Archipelago: a sea of living colour", so amongst the orchids and frangipanis were palm trees and giant tiki totems, as the store became a mini Tahiti. The windows were decked out like Gauguin paintings, while others were like underwater reefs. It was less fragrant than other years, but still delicious.
