BOGOR BOTANICAL GARDENS

It has been a long time passion to visit the BBG in Bogor, Indonesia.
The small town of Bogor is located about 40 minutes out of Jakarta. It has been an well known fact that the 1st Oil Palm in this part of the world was planted in the BBG in 1848.
It is also known fact the these plams can live for more than a century and hence was looking forward to seeing this historic palm. We were however told by the Information Department that the original palm 'died' and was repalced in 1994. What was suprising about this place is that I saw hundreds of families gathering here for some quality time of games, food and being together. This is maybe the biggest botanical garden in Java. It has rafflessia arnoldi there. And many kinds of flowers and tree.. Maybe there are thousands kind of trees. The air is nice and lots of people use this place for photo session for pre-wed or just photo shoot for magazine. The place is beautiful. The ticket price is only $1 USD pr about Rp 10,000
