What's NEW this year is the Spring and Winter Gardens. There is a separate charge of RM 3.00 per person for entry to the Spring and Winter Gardens. At the time of writing this post, I have no photos to share about the Spring and Winter Gardens. I have already purchased the ticket but decided to postpone my visit to another day due to the extremely long queue.

This simple Spanish phrase is the national slogan of the nation of Ecuador.

  1. FYI, online purchase of ticket is not cheaper. There is a fee of RM1/= per adult ticket.
    Secondly, I wish they will start at 7.30am so that it is not too hot like previous years.

  2. hello elaine,

    trust you are keeping well.
    i was at floria 2015 on saturday night.
    the kenya and ecuador roses were impressive, i took some photos and wrote a short post on it https://kenandagnesphotoworks.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/kenyan-and-ecuadorian-roses/
    in my opinion, the 'winter & summer gardens' attraction is a huge letdown! the cheek of the organisers to charge RM3 per adult or child to watch a 15 min AV presentation!

    do you have a booth at floria 2015?

    best regards,
    ken
