Flowers! flowers! Penang Botanical Garden Floral Fest

Monday, June 1, 2009 |

Despite of recent bad news about my company, I find it quite surprising that I still have the mood to visit such thing as Floral Festival.

And you would also thought that Floral Fest is a gay activity, bla bla bla, but you would be surprised that a lot people actually turned up for this event. My colleague, Greg and his girl friend, Cynthia and myself went to this Floral Fest thing. It was so packed, we had a hard time in finding a place to park.

Yes, you are right. There is actually nothing much to see in Floral Fest. You might as well call it Flower market or Garden Fair etc, I was expecting to see some flower-decorated vehicle parade (like the one in the banner), but I only saw many flower stalls @@.

Most of the stalls sell orchid. The road is rather wet, which is not very pleasant. Look, butterfly!

A red rose.

Hibiscus. There is a tiny bee on the hibiscus.

Flowers, flowers...

More flower..

Some cute looking bonzai..

Carnivorous Plant, they eat insects..The one on the top left is the famous periuk kera or pitfall trap in English.

Colourful cactus.

Guess what? This is a fake pot of strawberries. It is made of clay. haha!

There is an exhibition there. Holly cow, gigantic snake skin, as wide as my arms. Scary..

Some weird monkey with funky eyes. @@

They even got a tram for those who not very kean on walking.
