Our small flower/plant exhibition/s... - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Hello all!!!

Since I haven't attended an orchid show yet I thought I would post some photos of the annual flower/plant exhibition that takes place in our city! Actually there are two of them taking place at the same time, one at the east side and the other at the west side of the city. These are from the one at the east side that is a bit smaller than the other. Tomorrow I will try to take some photos from the bigger one where some orchids are sold

...

!

The first flower (I have no idea of the name) reminded me of a small Miltonia...

I found this little guy (Upupa epops) at a beach cafeteria near the exhibition and it did not seem to get annoyed from the human presence!!! I got close to about 6m fron it, but my poor quality camera...

**DariushPetresku** · 02-05-2009, 02:54 PM

I have no idea, but I might be able to ask at the other show I will go today, if I find any...!

Likespaphs: I went to the other show and I saw the same plant with the label... "fiorine" (it was witten in greek with the same pronounce..)!!!!! I've googled it and I found nothing!!! So it must be mislabeled!!!

Hello,

I managed to take a few clear shots...! Great colours all around!!! There were some orchids at the show too, Some Phalaenopsis hybrids and some Cymbidiums (I photoed only some of them!! - Wish I could grow them). Enjoy!!!

I bought a Hibiscus (red) and the Stephanotis (it smells wonderfully) was given to me as a present from a friend!!! I think I am going to buy this Honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium) too...

for my balcony!

Beautiful! I'm so glad that spring is here!

I had never seen that two-tone honeysuckle until I was in Denmark last summer, and I fell in love with it! Nice to see what is on sale in Greece.
