Putrajaya Floral Festival

 Located in precinct 2, near the water-front, it is the same venue as the hot-air
balloon festival a few months back. Also we didn't find banners or road
directions showing the way to the place until you actually reached the actual
road leading to the venue. So with high expectations we went there last
Saturday morning but was disappointed and was not what it was touted to be.
We expected a big variety of flowers and a very spectacular flower show. But
what we saw was chrysanthemums in abundance and only the heliconia garden
is attractive.

Thinking that the international pavilion, housed in an air-conditioned  hall would
be interesting and more comfortable in the air-conditioned hall, we joined a long
queue waiting at the entrance.Here, the dominant flowers used by the foreign
countries seems to be the heliconias and spectacular they are not. There are also
floral arrangement and nature set-up by schools and corporations.
