Orchid Show 2013

We were at the 2013 Orchid Show at the Quezon Memorial Circle this morning.  Thank goodness the weather cooperated and it was a bit cloudy the whole time we were there.  It was a bit humid but it didn't rain and the sun was covered by heavy clouds.

There were the usual garden and plant sales but the exhibit was quite limited.  Here are some of the pictures I took. I hope you like them.

 I also saw this charming pig family made of clay.

 We bought some soil for our home garden.

The Orchid Show is sponsored by the Philippine Orchid Society and the Quezon City of the Government.  It will run until March 11.

Flora Filipina 2012

Last week, we went to see the Flora Filipina Expo 2012, a garden and orchid show at the Quezon Memorial Circle.

It featured garden settings and floral arrangements, as well as orchids. Naturally, it's best seen than read about. Here are some of my favorites.

and here's my favorite display.

Filipina Flower Expo 2009

We went to the Filipina Flora Expo 2009 at the Quezon City Hall grounds yesterday. The event featured a competition for the best floral arrangement and garden design. There was also a display of different species of orchids that were so pleasing to the eye

Here's one that really caught my eye because of the color of the specks in the white petals.



There were other displays in the grounds, including Ikebana arrangements. Here's my favorite.



I have other photos of the other plant species we saw in the expo. There's a link to my Flickr photos at the sidebar of this page. It's for everyone to see so just drop by and enjoy.

Of course it is still different to see and actually experience the flowers and plants in the expo which will run until February 16. Entrance fee is also cheap, 30 pesos for adults and 20 pesos for senior citizens.
