Troy Apprill, of south St. Louis, pretends to be attacked by jungle vines as he inflates balloons that will become part of the tropical Balloon Garden at last week's Home and Garden Show at America's Convention Center and Edward Jones Dome.

Thad James and a crew of balloon artists were hard at work before and during the St. Louis Home and Garden Show at America's Center and the Edward Jones Dome last week. James, of Fenton, via his company, Sammy J Balloon Creations, used more than 7,000 balloons to build flowers, palm trees, monkeys, a cave, a waterfall and all sorts of tropical flora and fauna as conventioneers roamed the aisles. The Viewfinder gallery shows the tropical garden as it was taking shape.
