The 2016 Hong Kong Flower Show

This P-day we first went to the podiatrist to have foot corns removed from my feet.

Happy to say that was painless.  

Then over to Causeway Bay to see

The 2016 Hong Kong Flower Show, which is being held in Victoria Park.

This was our first visit to this park.

There was no charge for Elder Bodily, but $14HK for me because I'm too young.

 The first thing we noticed was we didn't get here early enough.  

By 10:30 it was already a crowded place.

The next thing we noticed was how many were getting on the ground to get up close and personal with flowers.

It was incredible how many people were taking photos of individual flowers.

Look at the size of those lenses, and all for a flower

 Elder Bodily got these without a humongous lens.

 These Cherry Blossom Trees seemed to captivate every photographer

We picked the day to come when it seems every school in Hong Kong is having a field trip here,

but these children sure are cute.

One of the displays.

We think this is suppose to be Adam and Eve

This one represents the city of Hong Kong

Notice the skyscrapers?

Simply a Seahorse

This was a unique display of beautiful flowers planted among colorful bungie cords. 

This must be what a home can be outside of the city.

This one was made of wood chips.

This is my favorite display:

 Harp and cellos. 

Some covered in flowers, some not. 

Elder Bodily considers these two the best displays in the entire show.

WHERE'S GRANDPA?

DO YOU SEE THE MONKEYS?

Checked out the Concession Stands.
WHERE'S GRANDMA?

Sausage on a stick anyone?

Or maybe a saltine cracker on a stick.

Just when we thought we had seen everything and exited the show,

we discovered there is much more to Victoria Park.

Tennis Courts, a Swimming Pool, and a Boat Race Pond can be found here.

Lawn Bowling can also be enjoyed at this park.

It is not unusual to see Tai Chi anytime of the day and anywhere.

More cute children in their school uniforms headed to the playground.

Elder Bodily's random bird photo

How can anyone sleep like that?  It hurt my neck just looking at him.

Noticed this flower after we had left the flower show and strolled through the park.

It was beautiful and unusual, and unlike any flower displayed in the show.

We vote it Best of Show!

This is the first flower show we have ever attended, so we aren't sure what we should have expected.

I guess we expected to see something like the 

Pasadena Rose Parade with floats completely covered in flowers.

This wasn't exactly that.  There were some displays, as shown above, but most of the show was vendors selling flowers, gardening equipment, and food concessions.

Oh well.  It was still an enjoyable day,

 and with all that walking, I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to get to the foot doctor.
