Moscow Flower Show, also known as International Moscow Garden And Flower Festival, fell on the beginning of July—which also means the peak of the heat. On the second day the flowers were already half-heartedly trying to survive, but still looked pretty nice. On the other, not that many flowers actually suffered: "international" is too high-sounding for a couple dozen of garden installations (and well, usually more installations than gardens). Still, that was quite enough to relax in the verdure in the middle of the overheated city!
