More than 1 week I not update my blog. I'm quite busy doing the correction to my thesis and the same time I cannot do any activities in the garden. Since Friday last week it's raining every morning and evening. I just done some preparation for the Orchid Show in Penang Floral Festival. This event is one of major event in the tourism calendar for Penang state and it's was have been organized since last 12 years ago.
Today, since 8.00am I already in Penang Botanical Garden with the orchid committees. We start the registration at 9.00am till 1.00pm and judging start at 2.30pm till 4.00pm., around 4.30pm we finished with full results.
I just bring 5 plants and won 3 prizes, not so many orchid bloom in my garden. Normally for this show I can bring more than 20 plants. The weather always cloudy and raining since last month, so it's interrupted the flower growth.

Wow! you won 3 out 5, thats cool! The orchids look so unusual, never seen them before, are they all hybrids?
I love the orchids! Are you working on your PhD or Masters degree? Just curious. :)
p3chandan> I expect more than that, but it's ok. Only local hybrid winner is hybrid orchid, others are species.
Helen Lewis> Thanks for your visit. I just working for Master degree by research, next year will continue for PhD in Korea.
Hi, those are very charming orchids and congrates on your winning. I did not know that you are a postgrade student as well. I am also doing my postgrade by research.
