Bangalore: Flower Show 2010

Lalbagh, Bangalore:

This year the Lalbagh's Annual Flower Show is organised very well. There is ample parking space availabe and lot of cops have been dutied there. This is one of the famous events of Bangalore and happens during the 3rd and 4th week of January and it is called the "Republic day flower show"

Like Always the glass house is a spectacle to watch. Above, Varieties of Cockscomb

The Vegetable competition was great, as we get to see different breeds of vegetables and that makes us think "Oh I didn't know that this vegetable came in this colour too, or this size" and "Oh I never thought we could grow all these in pots"

Grapes Grown in pots


Purple, Black, Light green, Dark green, almost white Chillies


Flower Show also was great

There were many photographers to capture the marvels of nature. If god made plants and flowers and made them beautiful then man made breeds and made them artistic. This is the one of those humans interventions in nature that I like.

There are so many Stalls installed this time and you will get all kind of seeds, bulbs and samplings. The nursery in lalbagh, which is open throughout the year is also very well maintained and provides a large verity of plants. All at a affordable price. Once you go there and see the available variety of flowering plants, you will get good ideas to decorate your house with plants.

Its a must visit place for all horticulturists, as you get all kinds of garden tools, equipments and plants including grass, Indian crotons, xerophytes (cacti), Bonsais and all kinds of flowering plants.

This time round there were a lot for foreigners, Photography enthusiasts and true Bangaloreans visiting the Flower show.

The best part is: the air is lighter, unpolluted and cool, and we can hear and see a lot of birds. Feels like Bangalore.
