Floria 2010 Putrajaya
The theme for the landscape show is heliconias. This is to make the public knows that heliconias are very attractive plants with beautiful flowers. Although it is not native to Malaysia, but this plants can grow well in the country. It is no suprise that Malaysia will lead in this flower industry in the world one day because we have proven for instance rubber from Brazil and oil palm from Africa had become the country's chief export but of course through research and development (R and D). Why heliconias? I have actually suggested that the government should give more emphasis to plant heliconia on landscape areas primarily there are so many varieties and it a perennials plants unlike annuals that need to be changed for every three months, which caused a lot of money. Here are some pics of the visit to the show.

Dear Sir,
I am glad to find your informative blog. I visited Floria and I am very impressed with the Heliconias, particularly the tallest one at the Agricultural Dept. Do you know if it is Phenakospermum guyanense? It looks like a dried and preserved specimen and I wonder if it was really from Malaysia. I hope you can enlighten me on this.
We have some grown here, but it is not originated locally.
