Floria 2013 was officially launched by his majesty the king of Malaysia this morning at 10:00 a.m. in Precinct 2 in Putrajaya, where the event is held.This flower and garden show will last nine days and ends on June 30th. This year’s theme is orchids, so thousands of local and hybrid orchids are used throughout the event grounds.
If you are a flower and garden lover, make your way here to see a variety of flowers used in landscaping, design, decoration, and even various art forms.
Floria 2013
As for me, a former flower and garden lover, I made my way here at about 3.00 pm on Saturday after the official opening of Floria 2013 and to my surprise, there were already thousands of people around here. The event is free for everyone.
There are a few areas for flower displays, an indoor, air-conditioned flower art section, an area for traders selling all kinds of flowers, orchids, and other interesting plants, and a huge food tent.
To sweeten this event, Tourism Malaysia has also included another event for the evening
: the Magic of the Night 2013 event, where 14 boats will parade along the lake, which is fully decorated with flowers.This special event is in its third year running and is not to be missed. The highlight of MOTN 2013 is a show of lights and a fireworks finale. Below are photographs taken during my trip to
Floria Putrajaya Flower and Garden Show 2013.

Conclusion
I recommend coming here in the late afternoon and staying until the Magic of the Night event, where you can catch both of them. If you want to purchase orchids or other plants, you should come here as early as possible to beat the crowds.
As usual, it gets crowded on weekends, and heavy traffic is expected there. Parking may also be complicated, so plan your trip here for Floria 2013.
