Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival

This past week was Kids' spring break.  While the older son is not interested in Disney any more, I took the younger son along with other two families to visit three Disney theme parks in Orlando.  We all had a blast with those fun rides.  Lucky me, there was a special event going on at Epcot Center, which was annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.

The whole park were bursting into colors, and many Disney Characters came to the life in the forms of topiaries.








We found so many butterflies at Bambi's Butterfly House.  My camera was just not 
fast enough for those fluttering beauties.

What is the name of this plant?  It must be something that Butterflies love.



Butterflies love this sweet almond bush as much as I do.




Bulbine plants are blooming prolifically just like in my own garden.




China Pavilion displayed a dragon decorated with various bromeliads since this year is  "The year of dragon".


I love this flower bed with all white flowers, perfect for moonlight garden.


The below is "Snow white and seven dwarfs", aren't those dwarfs cute?


Lady and Tramp

 This would be a good example of vertical gardening.




What is name of this flower tree?  Love those flowers!


Update:  Thanks for FloweLady,  James Missier and "presentpt" for identifying the above plant as Petrea volubilis, common names: Queen's Wreath, Sandpaper vine, Bluebird vine!

This festival is held March 7, 2012 through May 20, 2012.  For the gardeners, this is a good time to pay a visit there with your kids or grandkids since you all will have loads of fun!
