If you love all things floral, you should make a visit here as it is absolutely amazing. My last visit to the Putrajaya Floral Festival 2009, I saw some really unique vendors selling what I usually collect which are hard to find jungle plants and creepers. This is also a great fun activity for children/kids where you can start to teach them about the beautiful flora. See some of the pictures of my visit on the last day to Floria Putrajaya 2010
For those who enjoy flora/ photography or taking pictures of flowers and plants, this is one place you should be checking out with your equipment as there are many lovely opportunities for you to shoot here. See you at the event!
