Flower Show

Every year the Lalbagh botanical gardens holds two flower shows- one during January and one during August. I like to visit the August flower show as there will be many begonias and tropicals to admire and to buy. This time, there were roses and orchids.
The Coxcomb comes in many jewel colours.

This replica of the INdia Gate in Delhi was made using thousands of maroon and red rosebuds.You can see the flowers in front if you click on the picture.




Rudbeckias with their cheerful faces at the entrance of the public garden.

  1. How pretty! I really love flower shows; unfortunately they are not as common here in the US as they apparently once were.

  2. So many beauties ... a real feast for the eyes! We don't have flower shows in my part of Australia either ... I'd have to travel further south for such a treat.

  5. so beautiful, it is always fascinating to visit garden and flower shows. They also have 2 shows per year here, but sometimes i was not able to visit. Last week there is an Orchid Show here but i just sneaked in and not able to get better photos.

  7. Candy for the eye and nectar for the thirst. Wow Lotusleaf, what a great time you must have had. It would be very easy for me to break the bank had I been there.

  8. Wow! That gate is amazing! Looks like a fun show! Living in the boonies like I do, I really don't get a chance to do flower shows. You are so lucky! Love that rudbeckia photo!
