 We also met fellow blogger Mr. Stan dela Cruz of http://philippinewide.blogspot.com . He was quietly taking photos of the orchids and we had a short but meaningful chit chat .

Allied Botanical Corporation

There was also a group of people  ( a family ) with blue colored shirt from a well-known elite university who seem do not know the proper etiquette while visiting a plant show site. The middle- aged lady began picking the petals of the sunflower , thinking it was nice or artificial.  We then approach the Allied Botanical Corporation booth . The group  quickly fade away as if they had done nothing wrong .
