The Best Display At The German Chrysanthemum Festival Is…

The piano! Yes, I’ve saved the best for last. You may remember the recent post about the 2009 Chrysanthemum Festival in Lahr, Germany.  This is a display that was also at the show, but I feel like it deserves its own spotlight.

At the Chrysanthemum Festival, floral designers from far and wide created gorgeous displays using — what else? — chrysanthemums. Many showcased their work by creating an elaborate garden of colorful mums. Others used the vibrant color of mums to accent the light color of garden statues. The result was an amazing display of color and nature across the entire city of Lahr.

Of the many wonderful displays at the Chrysanthemum Festival, the piano display was far and away the most inventive and creative, plus a bit of a non sequitur. For all of these reasons, I know that you will love the piano made of mums. Enjoy the photos! ( courtesy of Randy Cozart)
