Fake Flowers?

Patricia whispered, are those fake? That time we stopped in the front of flowers seller at Cihampelas Walk. And the seller seemed to hear us discussing wether it's fake or not. He explained to us that it is natural. He even told us the name of this flower which I've forgotten ;). But if you click the picture and enlarge it, you could think that these flowers are made of thick satin.

Colourful Cihideung, the Local Flower Market

Lea begged me to show pictures of Cihideung, the local flower market we have here in Bandung :-). So Lea, you're right. I just realized that I never put pictures of this market situation in this blog. I just showed the flowers, and told you how I fancy this market very much. And then, I went to this market last weekend, and took several pictures of Cihidueng, our colourful flower market.

Cihideung is about 7 km from the center of Bandung city to the north. No public transport to go to this market, so the easiest way to go there is just ride your own car. The flower sellers are packed for about 5 km along the Sersan Badjuri Street. You can find almost all tropical flowers and plants with reasonable price. You never had enough time to spend in this market. The only thing you want to do when you visit Cihideung is, just walk, watch, walk, watch....
