Last weekend Alejandro read that a "Festival of Spring Flowers and Ornamentals" was being sponsored by the city government. So, on Sunday we went downtown to check it out. I thought that perhaps I might buy another houseplant or perhaps another orchid since I am now having better luck with the one I have.
The festival was held in the plaza in front of the Monument to the Revolution.
Yes, it seems that the Easter bunny has entered into Mexican culture.
There were two long tents with plant and flower vendors set up on each side with a narrow passage in the middle for the customers.
With the crowds it was almost impossible to look carefully at what was for sale.
There were quite a few vendors selling cacti and succulents, but, as far as I could see in the crowd, there were very few other houseplants. And I only saw one vendor selling orchids. We ended up leaving empty handed and very disappointed with the event.
