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.

The 65th Orchid Show

We were at the 65th Orchid Show sponsored by the Philippine Orchid Society yesterday.  Perhaps because of the inclement weather, there were very few exhibitors in this year's show.  There were the usual cattleyas, tiger orchids, bonsais and other stuff that have been displayed before.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the show yesterday.

There was also a tiangge where one can buy plants and other garden ornaments and implements.  I wanted to buy one of these terracotta Buddha heads but I still need to fix the garden at home.

I know it's still too early for this jolly guy to make an appearance but I snapped a picture of him anyway.

The 65th Orchid Show will run until September 5 at the Quezon Memorian Circle in Quezon City.
