More Crazy Exotic Tropicals

There is another plant show here and this time its by the Philippine Orchid Society so as expected this show is going to be more "flowery".

Personally I think this is a less interesting plant show but I think a lot on this board will still like the colorful flowers displayed. I can't stop taking pictures anyway so I will just dump them all here.

I either grow them or wish I did.... Thanks so much for sharing them!

Yeah this plant show didn't really have a lot by way of the rare and exotic stuff. Most of the plants/ flowers displayed areteh commercial varieties but they do make an awesome display when you put dozens of them blooming together.

I saw this variegated Chamaedorea Seifrizii

The asking price was P75,000 . A little

over $1,500. But the vendor says I I was really interested I could haggle a bit.

I wasn't really interested at that price range.

Thanks for posting, Gene. I always enjoy your show photos. So many different things in the Philippines, and I also like how they arrange the plants. It is a work of art :).

Gene,

That's some incredible plant material! There's things we don't even see here in south Florida. I wish the Philippines were not so far away. :(

Thanks for sharing all these.
