Old MacDonald had some flowers? As part of the 24th Annual New York in Bloom show, the lobby of the State Museum in Albany last weekend displayed a farm scene where yellow roses symbolized butter sitting near churns and white roses stood in for milk. David Michael Schmidt of Renaissance Floral Design created the display, using an early 1900s milk wagon from the museum’s collection that had never before been displayed. The event benefits the museum’s educational programs for children.

Fire brigade: Toy fire trucks and a firehouse sit beside an arrangement of baby’s breath, red carnations, and artemisia created by members of the Clematis Garden Club from Middleburgh. The flowers were displayed in front of an antique fire truck inside the Fire Engine Hall of the New York State Museum last weekend. Activities at New York in Bloom included floral design and gardening demonstrations as well as children’s programs.
