Last autumn we went to Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show - one of Victoria's hallmark events. It is a must-see flower and garden extravaganza for all, in full bloom at the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens.

Attracting more than 100,000 visitors, the annual flower and garden show is the biggest in the southern hemisphere, boasting more than 500 exhibitors showcasing innovative products and services for the green thumbed and outdoor living and design enthusiasts. A celebration of the Australian lifestyle and great outdoors, the show features the best landscape and floral talent that Australia has to offer, alongside an extensive array of garden retail products, delicious food and great entertainment for all ages.

We spent only 3 hours there and, actually, wish we could stay there for a day. Roses, tulips, succulents, orchids, garden expositions, worshops..... We bought tulips bulbs for our front-yard and it was a such delight to see how the tulips flowers later that year.

Please see photos below and remember, there is much more at the show!
