The Philadelphia Flower Show is the oldest flower show in the United States and the largest indoor flower show in the world, attracting more than 250,000 visitors annually from across the country and the world.
The 2005 Philadelphia Flower Show was the 176th anniversary edition of the show. The theme "America the Beautiful" seemed to both challenge and inspire the imaginations of all entrants from the professional exhibitors to those participating in the competitive classes.
We hope that you enjoy our photos of the 2005 Philadelphia Flower Show. Be sure also to check our 358 photos of the major exhibitors.
Our thanks to Jim and Jeannie Francis for their assistance in obtaining this year's photos. Look for photos of their competitive class entry in the Entryways Class.
