Every year in early spring, the David Jones Elizabeth Street store in Sydney hosts a spectacular flower show. Today I went to see this annual event and was amazed by the beauty of the flowers. Also, the magnificent artistic arrangements of the flowers are fabulous.

On entering the store, you notice the whole of the ground floor is full of these arrangements. They are set amongst the elegant surroundings of the top brand cosmetic counters.





The flower show ends this weekend, so give yourself a treat and go. There are tours twice a day or just wander around and enjoy.





This display of roses was a favourite of mine picture perfect. A joy to see.







This was written and displayed in the window of David Jones.
I found it charming and inspirational - a job well done.

The origins of the David Jones Flower Show can be traced back to the 1940's when staff adorned their counters with springtime flowers from their gardens. Sir Charles Lloyd was charmed by the practice and encouraged it.

The David Jones Flower Show in its current state began after the 1980's refurbishment which saw the event increase in opulence and grandeur. There are no less than 300,000 flowers on display.





After seeing this amazing display of flowers today it inspired me to come home and write this article. It gives you just a glimpse of the grandeur of this magnificent flower show. I hope my photos inspire you enough to go and see it. You won't be sorry and it is sure to put a smile on your face.
