Floria 2011. . . part 1

I have uploaded some of the Floria 2011 photos of Flower and Garden show held at Precint 2 last year for those who have missed the opportunity to see them live back then. For last year, the theme was "roses forever..." and in 2010, it was " heliconia special ".

It was a wonderful experience looking at those lovely flowers and plants in a same place in big quantities.  The colours, shapes and sizes were so unique....and captivating the visitors that the visitors were going again and again to admire the amazing show during the two weeks. 

My wife and I were there on the second day morning of the show and had ample time to enjoy the great arrangement of the flower plants. However, when we went there again for the second and third time, we were not that lucky for the fact that by then people from all over Malaysia had started flocking the place and we had to wait for our turn to get into some halls to see foreign countries' arrangements.

It was more of a festive atmosphere than a flower show. Some families came prepared and set up camping like floormats to stay for a day.

One sad thing though was the lack of interest among our Indians. They like flowers and gardens, no doubt about that....but to come to the show and participate, they hesitate.

Hope more Indians turn up and enjoy the show from so many other countries and our own Malaysia  this time around. And please come with your digicams as those snaps you are going to take will be appreciated by your family and friends who are unable to make it.
