heh - do you like the title?
yeah corny I know - but hey it is my blog and i can be corny if I want to...
ok so here are the hong kong flower show photos - hahaha look at me writing to people whom i think are reading this - i sound as nutty as Julie in Julie and Julia - but I believe - baby I believe you are out there reading and taking notes and hopefully waiting to work with me...
of so enough about my insecurities - ha!
I promised you pictures.... and because there are so many photos, i am probably going to post them in sections - otherwise I am going to keep putting this off till I have a good 3 hours or something like that - which is stupid - and I cannot keep my imaginary friends waiting can I???
so first up .. the bamboo extravaganza - if you had not already guessed from the title - HA!
This display was really quite natural - it almost invited you into the forest of bamboo branches to discover the bush - which from afar looked like a bunch of dried leaves, but it was really a massive arrangement of orchids and foliage. I love it for the fact that a whole forest of bamboo probably went into the recreating of this - which may not be entirely 'green' ...hmmm
what was cool though was that the bark slates and the dark backdrop in the booth recreated something of a harry potter scene.
as you can tell i got pretty close to it, which did not amuse the 'guards' at the flower show!

Hong Kong Flower Show
Yup thats where I am now. well not exactly at the flower show as I write it - I mean come on people it is past midnight you know, and a flower show is not exactly like a fashion show where i can just sit there as the flower designs waft past like some other more famous bloggers - right I digress...
I am in Hong Kong for the flower show yes...
I expected it to be bigger than it is - I mean I finished it within a day - I have lots of photos which I will of course share once I am back in my little cubby hole in Singapore ...
till then, you will have to just trust me when I say some of the designs were amazing - there was a lot of dragon references (well... it is Hong Kong) and there was a lot of pussy willow use (after CNY and all that) and surprisingly a lot of Ikebana influence - and some of the works that have resulted are just poetic!
pictures to follow soon.... stay tuned ;)
