Thanks iceflower, Caroline looks wonderful! 
The little flower brooch is beautiful, not to mention quite appropriate, given the occasion.

I was sure she would attend, this event would not be the same without her. It´s a tradiction. Bouquets were one of her mother´s passions.

Princess Caroline is resplendent. That green dress, deep, intense, rich as soil, is a stroke of genius considering the occasion, the sign that she is totally in the place, bared to the utmost simplicity with only her peaceful face and radiant smile to complement it. However the abundance of the flower presentations, a current of Zen spirit seems to run through her. Does she feel she can reconnect with her mother on this occasion, a celebration of spring Princess Grace taught her to love from an early age, where I feel they really bonded, pardon the trite word? In fact, not to use too much New Age speak, but Caroline seems to have channeled her mother’s serenity in this particular place, as if spirits did indeed live in gardens. I applaud Caroline for giving dignity to the occasion, to all the people who helped make it a success, and I marvel at how much force she can project with a simple green dress. Her other outfit is a joy to watch as well. It’s like the good old days were back again.

Thank you, debrann. I think that through her collaboration with the creatives and genuine interest in art in all its forms, Caroline has developed a very strong sense of colors to bring out a quintessential quality, (which makes her predilection for black a real loss for us.) Princess Diana also shared that sense, and Angelina Jolie, in Lara Croft, spent hours finding the correct hue of saffron for one of her costumes. So Caroline goes from reductive and almost (deceivingly) modest, she is a canvass, letting the décor ricochet on her to make her sparkle, or she is exuberant, she is the painting, as in the gown she wore at the last Red Cross Ball. (Much decried, I know.) Personally, I liked her daring: that outré mixture of African motifs, Miro, Matisse, and all the grand fauvists still dance in my mind.
What struck me on this occasion is that she seemed so much in control of the place. I find that the Garden Show brings out the best in her, (I remember a superb yellow dress and matching open coat she wore with Prince Ernst in the early 2000’s) but she usually looks more like a visitor and guest of honor than the genie of the place itself. Perhaps it was my early reading of a children’s book called “Prince Spring” who wore a green leotard and lived both underground and above ground as he checked on the progress of the about to bud flowers, but green, even a dark green seems ideal to epitomize the mysteries of the earth’s renewal. It heralds the abundance to come, but comes from the depths of the earth. What better symbol of secret content and fertility?
I checked for the exact name of that particular shade of green (as my screen shows it anyhow), and hunter’s green or forest green seem the closest, although I was hoping it was the Kelly green(too light).

Yes, the first picture is adorable. Definitely babies are « her thing ». Motherly gestures come so natural to her...
