Macy’s & Bachman’s “The Painted Garden Flower Show”

I love flowers

Year after year Macy’s and Bachman’s has blessed us with their flower show. This year like all the past years will not disappoint you. I took so many photos I thought I should put them into a video for you.

It smells like a beautiful secret garden on the 8th floor of the Macy’s Downtown, Minneapolis store.

My favorite flower is the gorgeous Peony. I have some facing the South on the side of my house. I get so many I end up cut a bunch for friends.

There are many events going on during the Macy’s Flower Show
