We’ve already shared some highlights from TPIE 2019, including takeaways from the opening keynote from Christine Boland and 20 plants and products that we spotted or received accolades on the show floor. The event, which took place Jan. 16-18 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., also featured creative displays. We couldn’t help but notice all of the wonderful floral patterns on attendees’ clothes, too, and many kindly agreed to have their photo taken. We also saw flowers and foliage well represented on pots and containers. Here are a few of our favorites:
Penang Nursery "living" portrait and art-inspired display
