I was able to visit the Philippine Plant Festival.  Here is my post...


The Philippine Plant Festival was a gardening sale and exhibit activity I visited at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center, Quezon Avenue corner Elliptical Road, Diliman, Quezon City from January 25 - February 5, 2019.  


The opening and ribbon cutting was held in front of the CITES Bldg, wherein they had a beautiful landscaped exhibits composed of cacti, succulents, orchids, bonsai, aroids and annual flowering plants.


There are a lot of varieties of red aglaonema, pink ones and green ones for sale... also aroids like philodendrons, caladiums, and alocasias.
