I too prefer not to pluck my garden flowers. Buying cut flowers is an option when I need extra ones as gifts or prayer offering. <br /><br />Diana, do come visit Malaysia, the land of festivals!<br /><br />Bananaz, yes, yes, your mention of Tatoo shouting &quot;The plane the plane&quot; really brought back a lot of fond childhood memories. Tatoo is so cute!<br /><br />Plant Postings, yes, these are Fragrant Festival Flowers!<br /><br />Karin, you are so sweet, thanks!<br /><br />Theanne and Dianne, actually I thought it was wheat grass. Luckily I asked the flower vendor what it was. I&#39;ll look at bermuda grass in a whole new light after this. <br /><br />Indie, I can imagine how very enchanting, magical and blissful your wedding day must have been. How very interesting!<br /><br />One, I like to go to Little India during Deepavali season to bask in the feel of the festive atmosphere. <br /><br />Diana (MKD), whenever you are homesick, do visit our blogs. Hope this will cheer you up.Autumn Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-10656853516985293892011-10-30T07:26:52.877+08:002011-10-30T07:26:52.877+08:00Giga says: How much labor cost of flowers and the beautiful decorations.<br /><br />Giga, so nice and special to have your comments in Polish.<br /><br />Solitude Rising, yeah, in Malaysia, the cost of flowers vary from place to place. The flowers sold in flower streets are usually cheaper than those in florist shops. <br /><br />Cloudia, I love the leis in your beautiful Hawaii.<br /><br />Sage Butterfly, I feel like a child again if I wear these garlands. <br /><br />Andrea, I&#39;ll miss you during the long weekend when you are back to your province on holiday. Do bring back lots of photos. Wishing you a safe and smooth journey home.<br /><br />Rosey, These fragrant garlands can last for days to a week when it is hung on pictures or statues of deities. They still look good as dried flowers. My daughter didn&#39;t have a Halloween birthday party, but she had a few celebrations.<br /><br />Jama, the P. tuberosa garland looks like the bride and groom garlands I saw in Bollywood movies.Autumn Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-332464490163676872011-10-29T21:36:04.377+08:002011-10-29T21:36:04.377+08:00I miss this festive season.

We have a large Diwali festival near here that is a lot of fun to go to every year. <br /><br />The flowers are beautiful! I had an Indian wedding as well as an American wedding, and my now husband&#39;s relatives made lots of strings of garlands to decorate with. Part of the wedding ceremony involved placing garlands around each other&#39;s necks. As part of the humor we had to pretend to try to avoid getting &#39;caught&#39; by the garland. It was a lot of fun!Indiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08120631846270350947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-3483896894362846232011-10-28T21:57:53.046+08:002011-10-28T21:57:53.046+08:00Beautiful garlands!

I 2nd SR in saying our flowers skyrocket in price a week before November 1 for the All Saints/Souls Day. It is more expensive now because our main producing area in the highlands have been hit by typhoons, landslides, etc. But i am not buying any, i just offer prayers for our departed. And i am happy we have a long weekend.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-63451276955336632782011-10-26T09:24:01.606+08:002011-10-26T09:24:01.606+08:00Beautiful flowers!

Fresh flowers are in demand this week because of the coming All Saints day and All Souls day when people start flocking to the cemeteries to remember their departed relatives.Solitude Risinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07458281340276483361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-25194756164542392732011-10-26T00:07:02.481+08:002011-10-26T00:07:02.481+08:00Ile kwiatów i pracy kosztują te piękne ozdoby.
