Flower Show at Lalbagh

Vaish,Shiva,Parthiban,Priya and I visited flower show at Lalbagh Botanical Garden Lalbagh Botanical Garden or simply Lalbagh (lit. 'red garden'), is a botanical garden in Bengaluru, India, with an over 200-year history. First planned and laid out during the dalavaiship of King Hyder Ali, the garden was later managed under numerous British superintendents before Indian Independence. It was responsible for the introduction and propagation of numerous ornamental plants as well as those of economic value. It also served a social function as a park and recreational space, with a central glass house dating from 1890 which was used for flower shows. In modern times, it hosts two flower shows coinciding with the week of Republic Day (26 January) and Independence Day (15 August). As an urban green space along with Cubbon Park, it is also home to numerous wild species of birds and other wildlife. The garden also has a lake adjoining a large rock on which a watchtower had been constructed during the reign of Kempegowda II. on 26th Jan. Variety of flowers were displayed, and I can hardly remember the names. Few of the Bonsai Bonsai (; Japanese: 盆栽, lit. 'tray planting', pronounced [boɰ̃sai] ) is the Japanese art of growing and shaping miniature trees in containers, with a long documented history of influences and native Japanese development over a thousand years, and with unique aesthetics, cultural history, and terminology derived from its evolution in Japan. Similar arts exist in other cultures, including Korea's bunjae, the Chinese art of penjing, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non bộ. costs Rs.5000/- and above. But bonsai was very nice. You could see a full grown dwarf trees. :-)

I captured few the flowers with my camera till my batteries went down and I could not buy a new set of batteries inside lalbagh.
