 Pokok Bonsai terbaik keseluruhan.

There's even a display of artistically floral arrangements from Penang Floral Art Society..

Kalau yang minat gubahan bunga tu, di sini pun ada gubahan-gubahan bunga yang artistik untuk hiasan..

 ..and of course what a Flora Fest without plant sales corner..this is a must!

 ..dan tak sah kalau di pesta bunga tak ada jualan pokok..ini mesti!..siap la duit..!

 

       Overall its a good Flora Fest for this year. There will be another big Flora fest end of this year..so be ready..Tomorrow is a last day. So to those who are waiting to bargain, this is their chance..but to 'orchid people', usually all the good plants are already taken, only leftovers, if you're lucky, who knows maybe there's a good plants still undiscovered somewhere inside..

        Ada satu lagi Pesta Bunga yang seperti ini di Pulau Pinang hujung tahun ni jadi bersiap sedia..Ada yang sanggup datang dari Melaka hanya nak cari orkid!.Esok adalah hari terakhir, sesiapa yang nak dapat pokok bunga murah boleh la cuba..Tapi kalau peminat orkid 'hardcore' tu biasanya pokok yang bagus tu dah diambil orang..tinggal yang biasa-biasa saja..tapi mana tau nasib baik kalau-kalau ada yang masih terselit mana-mana di dalam gerai..

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. 

I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, 

they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it 

whether they want to or not.
