Spectacular flower show at Victoria Park closes tomorrow (with photos)
**********************************************************************
The dahlia is the flower show's theme flower this year. After the show, dahlias that are suitable for replanting and ones that are still in good condition will be distributed to the public at noon on March 26 at the park's South Pavilion Plaza (near the Sugar Street entrance). It is expected that about 5 000 pots will be distributed depending on the conditions of the plants. Each person can get one pot only on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. To help protect the environment, members of the public are encouraged to bring their own bags.
Recreational fringe activities are also being held in the showground, and the Jockey Club Student Drawing Competition had its prize presentation ceremony today (March 24). Winning entries are now on display at the showground.
