Floriade

Floriade is Canberra's Spring flower festival.

 

I have recently returned from the Floriad festival in Canberra. For about a month areas near the lake are full of flowers and celebrations. Tulips feature prominently. I love the more complex and delicate flowers planted amongst the tulips. Night concerts with fairy lights scattered through the trees are magical. I have been drawing and painting flowers since.
