Hey guys, I have gone to MAHA this afternoon with my friends. (I used to go with them every year, so sorry I won't join you guys).
This is a much bigger scale event compared to Laman. Suggest you guys park your car as near as possible to the main exhibition hall, you can take a so called "tram" (see it for yourself, hehe, but free of charge) to the hall, or you'll have to walk at least 10 minutes under the hot sun (sorry, no trees). Fortunately today no sun.
There are 4 exhibition halls, all air-cond, don't worry
You'll find a lot of plants, orchids, ornamental plants, lycos, tilandsias, fruits & vegetables, herbs, indoor plant tanks (there is one CP tank there, the rest are miniature ornamental plant tank, cactus tank etc.) tropical fishes, all sorts of crops like padi, corns...
There are also machines, tractors, fertilisers, pets food, packed junk food/dried fruits, fruit/herb drinks, fruit enzyme..... anything to do with agriculture and agroculture.
Hey, YG Park was there too! Alot of neps, sarracenias and VFTs. I don't have much time to go seeing everything they have, but make sure you bring enough money or you'll regret.
Bring along your own water if you don't like sweet or other flavoured drinks sold there. Suggest you guys don't bring along baby as I believe there will be very crowded during weekend, most importantly you need to walk alot and time consuming too.

Cool... May I know how is the price for Sarra/VFT/Tillandsia?

For those Sarra/VFT, are they those normal type that can found in Sg. buloh?

[TS]

Hi Casey, I'm so sorry that I didn't look into the price for the VFTs as I already have those. and have no time to look into every CPs there as my friend has to rush back home. Thilandsia was at other stall, the price is reasonable, too. The sarras are from as low as RM18 to as high as RM70 or RM80 if I'm not mistaken, the new release are more expensive. But you could buy smaller plant as the bigger plants are of course higher priced. The new release are mitchelliana, farnhamii, farnhamii hybrid to name a few. The stenvensii is so beautiful and different from what we see in our local nursery, it's redder in colour, there are also leucophylla, flava, catesbeia, some hybrids...
Some of the neps are so huge, go see for yourself! Unfortunately I don't see any sundews around.
You guys must be very "careful" that YG Park's stall was located in Hall D that actually exhibites mainly packed food, so funny, that's the only stall selling plant. Luckily one of my friend is very 'tong jia' (people who like eating), so we have to follow and went around for free food tasting, or else I'll missed YG stall. I guess YG must be joined in very last minute.
