More than 1 300 students build spectacular display for Hong Kong Flower Show (with photos)

     More than 1 300 students from 38 schools joined the "Jockey Club Mosaiculture Display by Students" at Victoria Park today (March 2). Under the guidance of some 170 green volunteers, the students worked together to help put up the spectacular mosaiculture display "Our City, Our Games!".
 
     The parterre is a wonderful mosaic with more than 30 000 eye-catching flowers and plants including kalanchoes, carnations, myosotis, chrysanthemums and more.
 
     With a sports meet as its theme to bring in vitality, the mosaiculture display in the Hong Kong Flower Show this year aims to publicise the health benefits of sports and encourage the public to incorporate sports into their daily lives. It depicts athletes participating in eight kinds of sports in the 7th Hong Kong Games – athletics, badminton, basketball, futsal, swimming, table tennis, tennis and volleyball – as well as the Games' demonstration event, rugby sevens.
 
     Visitors can get up close and take photos with the torch in the centre of the field or with the adorable cut-out standees of sports ball figures. In the evening, the display is enhanced with light and sound effects so that the beauty can be showcased day and night. The display will be exhibited in the coming Hong Kong Flower Show.
 
     This year's flower show will be held in Victoria Park for 10 days from March 15 to 24 from 9am to 9pm daily, featuring "When Dreams Blossom" as the main theme and the Chinese hibiscus as the theme flower.
