The theme for the 2016 Fleur Amour Passion for Flowers flower design event was centered around the four elements of earth, water, air and fire. This event is now on its 21st year and is a tradition held at the Commandery of Alden Biesen and featured an impressive display of beautiful and memorizing decorations.
Inline with the event's captivating theme, Peter Boeijkens, Frank Timmerman and Jan Aartsen created a project they named "Follow the SUN"!
This flower smells like a cross between a decaying animal and urine is set to bloom later this week at Dartmouth College.
Named Morphy, the titan arum — or corpse flower — hasn’t bloomed since 2011. Officials at Dartmouth’s Life Sciences Greenhouse, where the 6 ½-foot flower is housed, estimate it should bloom as early as Thursday. Crowds have already been filing through the greenhouse, including nearly 175 on Sunday for a special viewing of the flower that is growing about 4 inches a day in anticipation of its big moment.

It's sad to see the summer drawing to a close, but there is much to look forward to in the coming months! In fact, Autumn is one of the very best times to visit our fair city. Crisp sunny days in New England seem made for Apple picking, cider donuts and taking in the beauty of the changing leaves. Bold reds, brilliant oranges and vibrant yellows are but a few of the shades you'll be treated to on a fall foliage tour and you wont even need to leave the city to take it all in! Here we've shared with you our top three favorite spots to see the season change in Boston:
1. The Boston Public Garden
This exceptionally beautiful park right in the heart of Boston is the place to view a large variety of tree species.
2. The Esplanade
A stroll or bike ride along the esplanade is a great way to spend a fall afternoon taking in the colors and getting a little exercise!
3. Beacon Hill
We've saved the very best for last! Ok so we're a little biased, but wander through the cobble stone, lamplit streets of Beacon Hill on a cool fall evening and see if it doesn't become one of your absolute favorite places too!

This passed weekend, flower lovers traveled to a small Dutch town called Zundert for the Bloemencorso Zudert, a day long party celebrating the town’s famous dahlias. The tradition dates back 80-some years, and while the parade may have started out as a relatively modest display of flower-adorned bicycles and horse-drawn carts, it’s since become something crazier and more surreal, involving massive floats covered in hundreds of thousands of flowers. Over the course of the first week of September, float-makers bustle about trying to complete their highly detailed displayed in time for the annual parade, and they can get crazy. Between the moving parts, the intricate designs, the yearly themes and the speed with which the floats are assembled, the Bloemencorso Zundert is as much a celebration of wild invention as it is the Netherlands’ dahlias.
