Laman 2006 :: Malaysia's International Garden and Landscape Festival 2006, @ Perdana Lake Gardens

i was at the Malaysia's International Garden and Landscape Festival 2006 *clicky for more info* which was held at the Perdana Lake Gardens from 6 - 16th of July 2006. there was a huge turNup at the Gardens this afternoon, couldnt find a parking bay till 20mins later.

i came equipPed with my Canon s3 IS, ready to shoot any pretty bloom that will daintily tilt its head to beckon and flash me its vibrant smile :P i saw a spidey looking oRchid, its cream body in contrast to speckled purple markings on its thin arachnidic legs, i thought it looked pretty pretty :)

and back out at the Lake Gardens, the pretty maze!

tendrils, spirals, curls! gardens wouldnt look any better w/out these

may in the wooden swing!

me * & sis back at the orchids booths, we just cant get enough of *em!

we got through just almost half of the entire park, and only to half of the exhibits. the heat is certainly getting to us, and the crowd coming by the troves in our opposite direction.

we certainly had a good time if not a great one, watching the flowers certainly lit my day :) so much more than i havent seen. will pay them a visit in Laman2007 hopefully, and this time i will come equipped wit sunblock too! :D :D

oops! sorry ... i tot you are into botany as well. looks like you are more into graphic design work & pretty young too :P

anyway, i'm juz botany beginner which i taken up as hobby. And Musa is Genus name for those under the family of bananas & plantains. i was refering to the pink banana as I seldom see it here & wondering if they are edible or merely ornament.

hope i dun cause any furthur confusion. cheers! ;)
