The Magic World of Austrian Flowers

Today we go to Tulln to visit the main Austrian flower show held at the end of August 2011. I kept in a secret this amazing exhibition for a long time to rejoice you with the flowers grown the Austrian gardeners and magic arrangements created by florists. Now, in the middle of January when the sun beyond the window doesn’t gladden the eyes by its bright beams, I invite you to visit the magic world and come back to the childhood and feel enjoy and wonder.

We enter the hall called “Garden of the Hearts”. The flower design of whole hall was created by gardener Starkl (year of the foundation – 1912) which has branches in four cities including Vienna. Five huge hearts, three meters in diameter, are hanged above the water. They are decorated with roses, the flower of love, and everyone is the hearty message to visitors.  They show phases which love can wander through the course of life; the germinating heart of the youth, the luminous heart of the great love, the broken heart, heart of the painful knowledge of life and the golden heart of the age and equanimity.

Visitors sat near the pools, some of them remembered about their great love and I believe a lot of love stories were retold here within exhibition’s days.

 

And now we leave the Garden of the Hearts and enter into the fairy tale world. “A Trip to the World of Fairy Tale” is the motto of the “Flower hall” in which Austrian gardeners and florists presented flower and plant arrangements.  The focus’s composition was the tale “Alice in Wonderland”. My comment will be lint in this case as the plot of story is well known, therefore, imagine yourself the Alice and try to see unusual world created by florists with her eyes.

Step by step along with Alice we enter in the magic world of Harry Potter. Fur-trees don’t grow of the ground but they are hanging above the table. The candles and table décor created according with canon established in magic school are reflected in mirrors and clear crystals.  White-green design of magic table was the florist’s Christmas and New Year trend of year 2011.
