The Red Garden - Bangalore

The Red Garden - Bangalore

 The Lalbagh Botanical garden is one of the many popular tourists’ spots in Bangalore. Located in southern Bangalore, this vast expanse of natural beauty is a perfect escape from the noise and traffic of the city.

I’ve been in Bangalore for the last three years now and have visited the botanical gardens almost 5 times since then. Since its one of the must see places in Bangalore, I usually end up taking all visiting friends and family members to this place.

Its all about perception

This time however I made it a point to visit Lalbagh specifically to view the 199th Annual Republic Day flower show. 

The Glass House

Chinese flowers

I had never seen anything like this before… I assumed it would be a usual flower show but to my surprise there were 1000 plus colorful flowers for display and for sale. The organizers put up something every unusual - a display of roof plantation made of vegetables not flowers !!! 

The glass house as always was the main attraction. Colorful exhibits were displayed everywhere for people to view. Vegetable statues made out of flowers  - hahaha how unusual, a coconut made of green leafs.., a banana out of yellow flowers…Truly amazing.

The little yellow light

Reminded me of all those Yash Raj Movies

The Nikon D5100 had many other competitors at the flower show but one great feature which the tourister (which is me ;)) tired was the shutter speed aka burst mode. The special performance of the day.
