Can anyone tells about it?
I've never actually thought about the excessive use of flowers. But cultural having flower patterns on the national dress or "Baju Kurung" is quite normal. Most of the prints on the silk materials used for the Baju Kurung are flower patterns as animal patterns are discouraged by religion. So if you really notice, there aren't any statues of animals or pictures. However, Queen Saleha is an immense animal lover. She has her own menagerie in the Palace, her most prized possession.
