The annual spectacular Hong Kong Flower Show at Victoria Park will close at 9pm tomorrow (March 24). Members of the public who wish to see the tens of thousands of beautiful flowers at the event should not miss the last chance to visit.
 
     The Chinese hibiscus is the flower show's theme flower this year. After the show, Chinese hibiscus that are suitable for replanting and ones that are still in good condition will be distributed to the public at 10.30am on March 25 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.
