Mt. Makiling has a 300 hectare Botanical Garden being managed by UP Los Banos that is open to public for a very minimal amount. Inside the garden are picnic grounds, hiking trail, plant nursery, birds sanctuary, arts museum and a swimming pool with natural spring water from the Mountain. Aside from a tourist attraction it also serves to support the UP forestry students for their academic needs and research. This is one of the place that hubby enjoyed a lot during his 2006 vacation. I took some lovely pictures of the flowers inside the garden .
Here is another flower with white and red color.
Birds of Paradise
Fascinating range of red flowers! The red and white flower is most unusual!
