Before I start posting about the recent trip to Panglao, Bohol, I wanted to finish writing and posting some articles about our trips to Cebu last May. Among those I started writing was on this 'manufactured' tourist attraction located in the town of Cordova in Mactan Island.

| The roses are actually plastic and powered by LED bulbs (literally rose shaped LED bulbs). They are an impressive sight from a certain angle and when lighted. |
 |
| The lights for the stems change in color - here are the stems in blue. |
 |
| Here they are in red. |
 |
| Stems in purple/violet. |

| Stems in pink |

We were there during the night when the roses were lit. I can only imagine how ordinary these look like during the day. The man-made attraction requires much maintenance work as we saw at least 3 or 4 of their staff working to replace or repair busted bulbs. So it is inevitable to have dark patches in the sea of plastic roses. While I found this place amusing, I thought once is enough for places like this. Nothing really special about it. We weren't able to eat at the cafe so I can't give an assessment of the food and drinks there. They do have a souvenir shop for those who probably want something to state they've been there.
