New flowers
Some are already known in the world such as "Moon dust" the blue dianthus.
Dendranthema and dahlias were so pretty to attract people's eyes.
Dianthus
"Moon Dust"by Suntory
Gypsophila
"My pink" by Kirin
Dendranthema
by Kirin
Some of the dendranthema do not have names yet. Quite fresh feeling to find just numbers on the name cards!
Dahlias have Japanese names.
White Dahlia "Yukimukae", something related
to snow. The pink one with yellow centre is "Hanabijin". Those are so beautiful.

Flower Festival from Hong Kong
M Guddat
It is a bit of surprise that unbelievably many people were found at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay where the annual flower show is being held. This year's theme flower is 'pansy'. Garden designs, landscaping, floral art displays. You will find all kinds of works here from 7-14 March.
The venue became an oasis for busy Hong Kong people for this week. Flowers attracted me most were Orchids and Cattleyas. They were gorgeous and sold at very reasonable price! I bought for myself a plant of orchid which was only HKD30(2.25GBP). Now I have a pleasure to take care and hopefully it will blossom next spring.
