Ginger Flower Festival - Yandina

We've just returned from the flower festival. There were people EVERYWHERE!!!! i ended up parking about 1klm away but it was worth the walk. The flowers are just out of this world. they look like someone has done some origami and stuck in onto the plants. here are some photo's. The blue one is called "Blue Ginger", the red one is a "Heliconia" and the yellowish one is the "Beehive" ginger.





I ended up getting sucked in an bought some myself. I bought the Siam Tulip and the siam Jewel. This is the siam tulip. It's a beautiful little ginger with pale pink flowers and they are just like a real tulip. the Siam Jewel which i cant find a photo of and mine doesn't have flowers yet, are a more complicated looking flower but still a pretty pink colour.

There were hundreds to choose from but it was too busy to even think past these 2 plants. Maybe i might go up there next week when they have too many left overs.
