A Flower Farmer’s Delight


Happy Belated Valentine’s Day people.

Whoever created Valentine’s must be a flower farmer. It’s that time of the year for them to make a fortune. “It’s Valentine’s or never!” I don’t know how flower farmers survive. Sure, I see people buying flowers, but 1 bouquet for the home ain’t gonna make a difference, does it? Maybe, it’s the hotels. Or the restaurants? Oh yeah, there’re birthdays, funerals, weddings, people falling sick… Anyway, that’s not my business. I’m just here to show you our trip to a flower farm. Anu loves flowers. So, when she spots a place with flowers on TikTok or Facebook, …here we come, flower garden!


This is the Cameron Highlands Flora Park, or in Malay, Taman Bunga (meaning plain ol’ Flower Garden), in Kea Farm, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia


The missus spotted this place on TikTok (or was it Facebook?) while we were in Malaysia, and off we went on a road trip to Cameron Highlands from Ipoh


Fancy a ride on a farm pickup truck? Due to the narrow and steep access into the farm, visitors had to park at a car park near the main road and hop onto pickups arranged by the park. That pickup in the photo above, was our transport, believe it or not? …Is this even legal??

Here’re the rest of the photos. Enjoy!












Flora Park, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia


Don’t you just love hate the plastic sheets they use for farm shelters??? (Top of the photo above). I call it the blight of Cameron Highlands. They’re all over the place! You can see green hills interspersed with rows and rows of ugly plastic sheeted shelters. Yecch!


How's the view, boys? Kea Farm, Cameron Highlands, Jul 2022


Time to go. Bye-bye Cameron Highlands!
