Penang Floral Festival

A female who doesn't like flowers and it's not because she has allergy to flowers or whatsoever......yes, there are such people and I am one of them. My mum 'exposes' me to flowers since a very young age but I just do not have the fondness towards the colourful, romantic thing.

So when I asked my parents to attend the floral festival, they were pretty surprised. I just feel like getting back to nature and feel the greens (especially with Penang emphasising so much on recycling and staying green and stuff).

Do pardon me on the lack of descriptions on the photos....as you know, I am just getting to know them (the flowers and plants). Anyway, enjoy the photos :-

The competition area. Nurseries and plant enthusiasts display their labour of love for the much coveted award.




Bonsai category
















The autumn bonsai. The leaves are purposely pulled off to emphasis the beauty of the branches.














Rocks are used to enhance the beauty of the bonsai.





I personally think this is the most complicated bonsai.








I don't know what's the name of these plants but its beauty lies in the roots.















Besides the competition, many stalls were set up to sell flowers and plants. Cute buggy trains were available to transport people from the entrance to the festival ground for a fee of RM1 per person.


























If you ask me, will I go again next year.......well, why not??
