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.
