Spending an afternoon at the Floralia Flower Show outside of Brussels was heavenly. Even if there were no flowers, who wouldn’t love visiting the grounds of the historic Kasteel van Groot-Bijgaarden.

The show runs annually for about a month from early April until early May with more than 500 varieties of flowers. I loved the flower-peacock, think we could try that in Miami?
