I went to the
Penang International Floral Festival 2006 (held at the
Botanical Gardens from
28th to 4th June 2006) last Sunday after visiting the Penang International Dragon Boat Festival . This is the floral festival held annually which draw huge crowds of people. Furthermore the school holidays had just started. As anticipated, there's really a huge crowd of people inside there - 人山人海 aka people mountain people sea (since it's weekend & also the first day of the festival).
Don't ask me the name of the flowers, cos I'm hopeless in naming them :D
By the way, I take quite a number of orchid pictures... since orchid are nice. There are several categories of orchids (don't ask me how to differentiate them cos I've no idea. Anyone can enlighten me? )
Orchids with mini flower..
These are some of the more commonly seen orchids.
Orchids, orchids and orchids.... Of course there are other flowers as well, but orchids caught my attention the most ;)
I took few hundred photos inside there (as usual) but I will just select few to post here. Others are for my album collection ;) This is the second time I visit the Festival. Went there for a brief visit
last year.
Tak larat to stay too long cos of the
super hot weather (& I'm super
dehydrated !! Went out to buy the icey cold coconut juice from the coconut stalls twice to quench my thirst). Few more pictures to come ... (I get tired of uploading so many pictures at the moment) ;)

oooh, I love those flowers! my brother's an orchid fan, if I show him those photos I'm sure he'd be able to name them.
the first few... errr... ginger flowers ka?
more, more!
Kekekeke, I sneaked in faster! Anyway, I love flowers too, and I used to have this big thing about flowering plants a few years back on my balcony.. The Green Fingers sprouted up a bit then. Orchids don't grow that well here which was a shame, cos I love them too. Especially the pure white ones. Orchid Pie..
Oohh...nice! Until 4th June, eh? Might make a visit for this.
BTW, what kind of doctor are you? You seem mighty free for a regular doctor. An anesthetist perhaps?

yeah, until 4th June. Do pay Penang Loral Festival a visit if u r free.
I'm previously working in that field (anaesthetist) for several years but now I'm doing something else, which gives me more free time. Life is pretty hectic in the past (sometimes no time to see the sun also), and I have had enough of it after working so long for so many years ... so I decided to give myself a change :)
Life is short...
You laff! But there are flowers I found in prepacked salads for sale here!!! Will show you picture one day too!! LOL.. VROOooooooooomm...
lb,
okie okie, I take back my laughter & zip my mouth for few seconds :P
kekkek... Yeah, there are edible flowers around us. I wrote a post on flowers few months ago & someone commented whether flowers are edible. So I did a research on internet previously and found out that there are so many edible flowers around us..
Written there "You can eat almost any fragrant rose as long as it hasn’t been sprayed with chemical pesticides. Don’t eat the white bits at the base of the petals because these are bitter." I was amazed..
This is one of the links..

Yeah, I want to see the flowers in prepacked salad :D *waiting*
