Winter white will mix with “Rainbows in Flight” at this year’s flower show in Philadelphia.  Now through 7 March at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the largest and oldest indoor show of its kind has amended its moniker to the “Philadelphia International Flower Show” in recognition of its past exhibitions of landscapes and plants from Asia, Europe, Africa, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.  This year’s “Passport to the World” theme builds on previous celebrations of the world’s flowers and gardens.  Among the many offerings, visitors can experience the Amazon, trek through an Indian wedding,  peek into Zulu culture, enjoy a tribute to the orchid and giant Victoria water lilies and witness exotic displays from New Zealand’s Maori tribe among the popular Casablanca and calla lilies.  All the world’s a stage here, and you don’t have to trot around the globe to see it.
