PHILADELPHIA — Lights, camera ... blossom!
Floral and garden designers are paying homage to Disney and Pixar films at the Philadelphia
Flower Show, which opens Saturday with the
theme “Celebrate the Movies.”
Meticulously landscaped exhibits have been
inspired by more than a dozen features, from
“Frozen” and “Finding Nemo” to “Cars” and
“Cinderella.”
Visitors enter through a huge, art deco theater facade as if they were attending a red carpet
premiere. Palm trees, roses and lilies help recreate the ornate interior of a 1920s movie palace,
while moss, jewels, fabric and other blooms cascade down from “chandeliers” overhead.
Billed as the nation’s largest and longest-running flower show, it covers 10 acres and dates
back to 1829. Organizers hope this year’s fami-
MEXICO CITY — Servando
“La Tuta” Gomez, a former
school teacher who became one
of Mexico’s most-wanted drug
lords as head of the Knights
Templar cartel, was captured
early Friday by federal police,
according to Mexican officials.
Gomez was arrested in a
house in Morelia, the capital of
the western state of
Michoacan, without a shot
fired, according to a Mexican
official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he
was not authorized to discuss
the case. He said the operation
was based on months of intelligence work.
The 49-year-old led the
Knights Templar, a quasi-religious criminal group that once
ruled all of Michoacan, controlling politics and commerce and
preaching a code of ethics
around devotion to God and
family, even as it murdered and
plundered. Gomez evaded capture for more than a year after
the federal government took
over the state to try to restore
order. The Mexican government had offered a $2 million
reward for his capture, and he
also was wanted in the United
States for conspiracy to import
and distribute cocaine.
“With this arrest, the rule of
law is strengthened in the country and we continue to advance
toward a Mexico at peace,”
President Enrique Pena Nieto
said on his Twitter account.
The arrest is a badly needed
win for Pena Nieto, who has
faced political and security
crises since 43 college students
disappeared last fall at the
hands of local authorities in
Guerrero state, and conflict-ofinterest scandals emerged
involving his personal home
and that of the country’s treasury secretary.
The week opened with film
director Alejandro Gonzalez
Inarritu using his Oscar acceptance speech to urge fellow
Mexicans to “find and build
the government that we
deserve.” Then, Pope Francis
warned drug-trafficking would
cause the “Mexicanization” of
Argentina and Donald Trump
urged people not to do business with Mexico.
ly-friendly theme will help a new crop of gardening enthusiasts establish roots at the annual
extravaganza, which runs through March 8.
“Introducing that new generation, that
younger generation to the flower show is
something that we want to do,” said Drew
Becher, president of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, which sponsors the show.
Children and adults alike will surely recognize the large orange clownfish in the exhibit
by J. Downend Landscaping of Ridley Park, in
the Philadelphia suburbs. With a boat suspended above the display to mark the “water line,”
workers created a dry version of Nemo’s world
with petals and leaves shaped like creatures
such as seahorses, jellyfish and stingrays.
“The idea is to create an underwater seascape
using all landscape plants that would be found
from Florida to Maine,” said designer Tom
Morris.
