Launched in 2007, Putrajaya Floral Fest is held annually except for the two years' Covid lockdown in 2020 and 2021.
Anjung Floria, the venue, was awashed with colorful blooms when a friend and I visited yesterday. This year's theme is orchids, with many unique varieties which yours truly haven't seen before. Apart from orchids, there are chrysanthemums, diasies, sunflowers and roses. But the majority are orchids and chrysanthemums. Even the bees and butterflies visited.
A cultural dance took place while I was there
Each year that the event is held, there are three winners in the theme categories. This year's winning orchids are the Rothschild's Slipper Orchid, Cattleya Orchid and Rhyncholaedia Digbyana, in the following order. (I'm not an orchid expert, it was Mr Google who informed me what the species are.)
