2014 Jakarta Garden Expo

[Suri85]

It's the first ever Jakarta Garden Expo! Held in the Lapangan Banteng (Bulls' court) garden from Nov 21st until Dec 21st. The expo's PR and marketing communication team wasn't doing their job, because not many vendors and general public knew about it. Only 100 vendors attending (compared to the 400vendors of the annual Flona fair held in the same place at the middle of the year) and it was much less crowded.

Visited the expo yesterday, the day before that I was just arrived back from Hawaii, still jet lagged and ended up forgetting where I park my car.

Here's a few photos! I'll add them in the coming weeks


Paph primulinum flavum. Over 15 blooming plants only this one is a flavum variety, others are purpurescens, so I bought it. The flower was upside down so I rotated the pic so you have the flower upside up


Paph javanicum peloric


Phal violacea x luedemanniana so it's a luedde-violacea. This is the best flower of the whole bunch. The smell is a mixture of both species


Paraphalaenopsis laycockii


Phal amabilis West Java


Phal corningiana


Vanda coerulea alba


Gigantic Phal gigantea, compared it to a large well established amboinensis next to it.


Dendrobium secundums


Dendrobium fimbriatum


The plant


Asco/Vanda aureum


Vanda lombokensis, relatively newly available species from the Island of Lombok, right to the east of Bali. don't know whether it is a natural hybrid or a species, very variable species


Another Vanda lombokensis, notice the colour difference
