This year the weather was a little more cooperative and although there was some rain, it was nothing like lat year. The fairgrounds in Boquete were decorated with lots of beautiful flowers. So if you can't go, take a moment and enjoy the view.
This is one of several beds of flowers arraigned in a pattern.
This is a bed of Impatiens which grow wild in shaded and cooler areas of Panama. Anybody want to hazard a guess how much it would take to replicate this in the States?

Bromeliads, orchids, and succulents on display.
Up close and personal with an orchid.
Not all beauty was in the flowers. This young lady was one of the vendors who was selling art.
This Sun flower had some very intense colors.
This one did too. Neither of the two sunflowers were part of any display at the fair. Imagine that.
Another sculpted bed of flowers.
The Rio Caldera is lined with new embankments after the torrential rains almost completely canceled the fair in 2005. The fair grounds are to the right.
These Bougainvilleas were completely away from the fair grounds and were just part of someone's hedge.
