Jen over at Timballoo chose this week’s word. Thanks Jen…
So, what does panoply mean? There are a few different definitions (click here if you want to see what they all are), but the most commonly used meaning is that of an impressive array. For instance, er (ok, let’s steal the example from dictionary.com!), the dazzling panoply of the maharaja’s procession. Or, I suppose, the dazzling panoply of Imelda Marcos’ shoes…
I’ve been thinking all day and trying to work out what to write about … could I think of anything that would fit this week’s word? Yes actually. I’ve been thinking about the Chelsea Flower Show a lot this week and you could definitely use the word panoply there. Lots. The incredible panoply of flowers in the Pavillion, the diverse panoply of show gardens, the tempting panoply of sundries available for purchase…
That’s it for me and the word panoply. I wish I could have thought of something a bit more creative for this word but I have to admit I got a bit stuck!
I was thinking you might go for flowers! Heartfelt apologies for picking such a silly word!
