(No Ratings Yet)Penang Floral Fest 2009
It’s been some time since my last update, and sure enough this post is duly overdue as well, for the Penang Floral Fest 2009 ended a few months back, but still I thought it would be a waste if I had just kept the photos I had taken at the festival to collect virtual dust on my hard disk.
Due to some unforseen circumstances last year (I think Penangites would know what was the actual cause), the floral fest last year was delayed several times before ultimately getting scrapped and swept under the carpet. I actually heard it was to be held on a certain date and went to the botanic gardens just to find that it was once again ‘postponed’, eventually it was I assume ‘postponed’ to May 2009, yes and happy to say, I have visited the fair and taken quite a number of shots, of which I will be uploading to my gallery at Aperture Gallery
Meanwhile, let us get to the floral fest shall we? The floral fest has a few sections, there’s a section for merchants to sell their goods, be it flowers, artificial flowers, fertilizer, gardening tools etc. which is located outside of the Botanic Gardens. Inside the Botanic Gardens itself is the floral fest itself, with a lot of pretty and varied flowers on display, and of course there’s the Competition section, where proud owners of rare breeds of orchids, bonzai, carnivorous plants such as the pitcher plant showcase their well cultivated plants with the hope to be crowned best plant of the show and other various titles.
There are also flower art on display in the nearby community building where our talented Penangites get creative with the use of fresh and artificial flowers, some of which are actually decorations that are used in events such as weddings etc.
If you missed out on this year’s festival, be sure to visit it next year, the vibrant colors and fresh smell of flowers will sure to brighten your day up.
