Floriade 1

Hello,

This morning we went to Floriade, the biggest flower festival in Australia and an Australia's celebration of spring at the Commonwealth Park. Floriade began in 1988 and since that year it has become an annual event. We saw thousands of beautiful flowers there.






Majority of flowers in the Floriade are tulips. They look like tulip festival in Ottawa, Canada; or tulips in Keukenhof garden in Netherland.


The empress flower also entertains guests at the Floriade.






















There was a student orchestra playing many High School Musical songs.


There are many "hanging umbrellas" at the other side of Floriade. There are so many bats hanging and sleeping in the bare trees. They are bigger than bats in Indonesia. Many guests that are coming to see the flower festival may disturb the bats. The umbrellas are hung in many places so the bats won't be afraid of many guests.


"Flying charm!"

I am lucky that I can see Floriade this year. I really like it!
