Wednesday was my third and final visit to Voyage at The Leaf…

took another friend who hadn’t been to The Leaf previously…

the parking lot was beyond crazy, apparently there was a big event on in the building… thankfully there weren’t tons of people going through the biomes…

we had a great time and a fabulous visit;-)… I keep seeing new things in many of the displays, and got a few interesting photos of details…

we had fun deciding on our favourite display, and this time I chose the Japanese display, prepared by Fache Floral… I liked the simplicity and the amount of work it must have taken to strip the colour out of the leaves…

we also found the cutest T-shirts with the saying – flowers make me happy – which happens to be the first hashtag I have used since I started on IG…

what a delightful time I had on Friday for my first visit to Voyage by Fleurs de Villes at The Leaf…

went with a friend who hadn’t made it to The Leaf before and it was such a treat to show her this gem…

we went around 2 pm and the parking lots were all full… we found a spot when someone left, at the very end of the gravel lot… even though there were many people, there were a good number of hangers to make leaving coats outside the biomes easy…

there was a lineup to get into the biomes, but it moved quickly and most people went directly into the Mediterranean Biome for the display, but we went through the Tropical Biome and admired the lush growth… my friend said she thought it was like the old Conservatory, but on steroids, lol… the plants are getting enormous and we were dripped on a few times, maybe from the humidity…

from there we moved into the Mediterranean Biome to see all the beautiful mannequins…

there were many people when we started our tour, but by the end it had thinned out nicely… I took photos of all the descriptions as it was so crowded around each one, lol…

after we sat and reviewed all the pictures we took, we decided on our favourites and filled out our ballots before heading home;-)…

fun way to spend a cold and snowy afternoon…
