Aloha, From The Weirdest Flower Show to Date
Imagine entering a Beach Boys-themed dance-a-thon, underwater, and tripping on acid.
According to Philly.com, the 2012 Philadelphia International Flower Show – the oldest in the nation, founded in 1829 – is about to blow us all the fuck out of the water. The multi-million-dollar floral extravaganza dubbed “Hawaii: Islands of Aloha,” runs March 4-11 at the Convention Center and features the following aquatically surreal exhibits:
>>>A CGI wave crashing over you as you go in
>>>An actual 25-foot waterfall
>>>Native Hawaiian hula dancers, sadly, sans coconut cups
>>>The “Man Cave,” sponsored by SugarHouse Casino (it’s exactly what it sounds like)
>>>Oh, yeah, and thousands of flowers, orchids and other tropical beauties
Plus, “four showcase exhibits depicting Hawaii cowboy culture.” We’re thinking screen-shots of Hawaii Five-O circa 1968. Or a framed oral history of Brian Wilson’s life.
