MINI ZOO

I love this display. It reminded me of a mini zoo. And the Aloes were the plant highlight of the day in this display with its numerous interesting upright orange and white inflorescences. In fact, the Aloe was the main plant on sale at one of the booths.

Of course the animals were not real, but they looked so so so real! How else can you find giraffes, lions and its cubs, tortoises, pelicans, eagles, elephants etc all in the same place within a few square metres of space? Did you see the gorilla in the midst too? And can you see the Bird-of-Paradise (Strelitzia) peering in the middle photo?
