If Newport, Rhode Island, could be famous for only one element, it would be the city’s collection of extravagant mansions. And one of them, Rosecliff, will play host to the annual flower show this year from June 18 to 20. At first glance, Rosecliff closely resembles Versailles’s French Baroque Grand Trianon, and it’s meant to. Completed in 1902 for sterling silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs, architect Stanford White designed Rosecliff to bring a little piece of the French palace stateside.
Rosecliff’s ballroom, salon, and terrace will feature stunning floral displays from an array of talented designers interpreting the specific theme of the show, called “Back in Bloom: A Ballroom Floral Fantasy.” We can only imagine what kind of Marie Antoinette–inspired blooms will be on display in these sprawling spaces.

A supremely historical venue seemed appropriate for the United Kingdom’s largest flower show, which will return this year just outside London from July 5–11. Hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society at Hampton Court Palace—Henry VIII's most famous residence—award-winning botanical designers from across the country, including Tom Stuart-Smith, Charles Dowding, and Stephanie Hafferty, will create blooming exhibitions and installations across the 500-year-old castle garden’s 60 acres.

In the language of flowers, hydrangeas mean gratitude, grace, and beauty. Plus, because one cloud-like flower comprises so many tiny petals, the plush blooms also represent abundance. And at this year’s Douglassville, Georgia, Penny McHenry’s Annual Hydrangea Festival, which is named after the American Hydrangea Society’s southern founder, an abundance of sweet-smelling hydrangeas is a given.

Case in point: the summer floral show in the enormous greenhouse-inspired conservatory.
“I find the earth’s natural beauty captivating, which is what inspired me to design this summer’s display around the four elements of water, land, fire, and air,” Bellagio Conservatory designer Ed Libby explains.
