Landscape and garden exhibition at Borneo Highlands Resort


KUCHING: Colours of Nature is set to be the biggest flower and nature exhibition in the country next year with more exhibitors from outside Sarawak taking part in the annual event.

Colours of Nature 2009 organising chairman Charles Chow said the organiser, Borneo Highlands Resort (BHR), would be collaborating with the Padawan Municipal Council to hold a bigger exhibition next year.

“We aim to follow the success of the annual Malaysia International Landscape & Garden Festival (Laman) as a prestigious landscape and garden exhibition here,” he told reporters after the press appreciation lunch in conjunction with Colours of Nature 2009 launch at the resort near here.

The exhibition offers visitors colourful landscaped gardens that feature temperate flowers such as lilies and gladioli.

Flower lovers were in a big rush to the exhibition to see the rare “Eagle Flower,” which blooms only once a year.

The creeper plant that blooms only in August was the main attraction at the event that kicked off last Saturday and will end on Aug 31.

Pink in colour and similar to the Japanese Sakura (cherry blossom), it was dubbed “BHR Sakura Flower” by BHR founder Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, said Chow, who is also BHR sales manager.
