A bit of bloomin'

THE THEME for this year's Philadelphia Flower Show — open through March 8 — is "Bella Italia," and, so, visitors can linger to listen to musicians perform in an Italian-themed garden, complete with fountains and obelisks. There's also plenty to buy in the vendors' area. Fashion and style are all over the place, from a colorful-palette combo of gowns and flowers to a place to pretend you're zipping along the Via Veneto on an always-chic Vespa. Of course, the main point of the show — besides raising money for the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society — is, uh, looking at flowers.
