One time is not enough for me and my colleagues, so many things with so little time, make us really miss this WOC. So we decided to visit again this 20th WOC at the last day on 20th November 2011.Otherwise we should wait another 3 years @ Johannesburg, South Africa on 2014. We still don't know, we can afford to go there or not, 2nd visit to WOC is the best chance that we don't want to let go.
The best thing ever for our 2nd visit is we can bargain for the orchid plants... ;-) With small $$$$ we can buy a lots of orchids ;-) Really worth it! I will update later what we got from this WOC. Here are more pictures we captured in this event.

After you entered the main entrance at this WOC hall, it is like you are enter to the magical orchid world. The landscape decoration welcoming you! With more than 50 landscape decoration, it gives magical effect to this 20th WOC. Orchids Society of Papua New Guinea, who won the Best Display for 100 sqm landscape are welcome you at the entrance...so beautiful with more than hundreds of orchids varieties. Malaysia won the 2nd Best for 30 sqm landscape and was presented by Sabah  Tourism Board. Not just that, there are also have decoration for window view and table decoration. Besides that, Orchids and Ikebana are taken place very near to  the landscape deco...so creative and very beautiful.
As normal in any Orchid show, there are also have the orchid competition, I don't know how many classes there offered, but so many. It is quite difficult to count and find, because they keep it in many display area. Not just that there are also have so many choices of orchids to choose in market place and 20th WOC souvenirs. Last and not least...this WOC will end on 20th November and South Africa will be the host for the next 3 years. So hurry up...do a visit malaysian....Singapore just around the corner :)

I went to WOC Singapore on 13th Nov 2011, first day of the conference. Not much I can say here, it is wordless after I entered the main entrance...so many orchids I have seen in a single show and competition.  So many varieties, colorful, fantastic, stunning and many more to say here ;) You will understand if you be there. There are so sections to visit, from orchid landscaping, orchids and ikebana,  orchid in terrarium and many more. Market place??? So many...don't know which one to choose...from cool to intermediate to warm climate orchids, from  Asia to South America, in other words...there are so many :) Here are some pictures captured during arrival at Changi Airport and the part I of WOC 2011 post ;)

Hari ini cukup istimewa bagi kebanyakan individu. Ada yang memilih untuk berkahwin, bertunang dan juga melahirkan anak. Bagi OdD, tiada apa yang istimewa sangat...cuma biasa-biasa aja. Walaupun begitu nak juga abadikan sesuatu di sini sempena tarikh keramat ini dengan catatan yang tak seberapa. Berikut adalah orkid-orkid yang berkembang pada tarikh istimewa ini.
