Goyang Flower Festival 2015 Ep. 13: Rare Plants

As we entered the main hall of world's planyplants exhibition, these pretty trees welcome all visitors. 

We were like thrown into some twists of what we're about to encounter. 

and...yep...rainbow roses!!!

Gosh....subhanallah...

Then...monkey flower ^~^

Even we could see two rare plants from Indonesia: the literally "walking tree" and rainbow tree or rainbow eucalyptus. 

oh...the kids also could observe seeds or insects living in/on the trees.

Encountering the utterly gee...cactus!

Hmm...Not really fond of this strange-looking cactus. But...boy...it sure looks so fluffy.

....what about light-infused flowers???

They changed colors!

Sure they looked pretty.

....but worth-buying...it all depends on what to make of them.

Goyang International Flower Festival (Finale)

Before we went home, we took some more group pictures since we knew that it would be a long way for us to think and consider coming back here again unless....there is another better or greater exhibition.^^ 

The whole group. Om Wawan and his wife, me and my family.

May 4, 2013. Goyang City. 

This one, a vertical-shaped size pic. 

One more pic. of tulip fields which somewhat became the pseudo-symbol of national flower here.^^ of course, I am just kidding...but judging from the mere fact that similar tulip festivals being held simultaneously across the peninsula....has somewhat given me a vague idea as to whether it is time to call tulip as one of Korea's national flower.^^ 

On our way back home on subway. Look how deserted the subway was. Well..we were taking the wrong subway....and that's the reason as to why it was deserted. oh well..it's a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong story.

Goyang International Flower Festival (Part 10): Indonesia Pavilion

We came to Indonesia pavilion where the main attraction was the splendor of Indonesia's rarest flora of all. 

No wonder...lots of people would take their time and anticipation to see what Indonesia had to offer. Was it really worth-waiting and worth-looking at? Hmmm... 

Even the booth itself was named "Rare Plants Pavilion" where Indonesia occupied the main entrance which undoubtedly gave it a boost of interests and curiosity...(including me myself) *chuckles* Well, I never see it before my own eyes...because who would've been into the dense tropical forest of Sumatra to deliberately see this Carrion Flower or Titan Arum....which I thought it was Raflesia Arnoldi: dubbed to be the biggest flower in the world, and wait....it also boasts itself to be the most-oh-Nooooo-smelling flower in the world. But, no...the on being displayed here was Carrion Flower or gosh...what is it? Amorphophallus titanum . yeah right..it's so phallic in appearance.^^

That's why It indeed intrigued a lot of queues just to see the rarest flower of all. 

Okay...we got to say goodbye to the Goyang International Flower Festival. 

Before that..let's take another picture, girls!!! 

Goyang Flower Center complex that hosted this year's celebration.

Till we meet again next year? ^^ or in between?

Thanks for having hosted this wonderful event in Spring 2013.

Goyang International Flower Festival (Part 8)

It would not have been a stereotypical Korean Festival without the presence of samulnori performance. So, here it was. The un-mistakenly loud-banging sound indeed lured people and spectators to gather around the performers. 

It was one of those lively performances where people would surely be hooked onto this ear-splitting sounds (especially for first timers), but for those who have got so accustomed to the rhythm of samulnori, it would definitely and easily be associated with the sounds of vibrant and lively dynamism.
