Lalbagh Flower Show, Bangalore

We visited the annual flower show on Independence day at Lalbagh Garden, Bangalore. They had a similar flower show during the Republic Day which I could not visit. The entry fee for car was a high Rs.200. Other than the official flower display, there were many shops setup by local nurseries which offered a variety of horticulture ranging from fruits, plants, flowers and bonsai. In spite of the high entry fee there were huge crowd to see the show.

The attraction of the show were two glass houses one showing off a variety of desert plants and the other showing an enormous number of flowers arranged in many innovative patterns. The picture above and below shows the flowers on display inside the main glass house.

I like this one. In fact a good one for wallpaper.

Vadamalli (Globe Amaranth)

There was a second glass house (I have not seen it before) which was housing a variety of cactus plants. These beautiful thorny plants are a treat to watch and particularly so when they were arranged neatly the way it was done here.

This is one of the best pictures I had taken during my trips in Charleston. Today I bumped upon this picture and wondered if I can get chance to take such pictures again. While in Charleston, I used to go around during weekends just to see places and take pictures. It was much easier to do so. Now in India, I don't create such opportunities often.

But I believe there are lot in India to see and I intend to explore whenever I get a chance.
