The Flower Show commenced with great festivities and is currently attracting huge crowds. The Flower Show consists of a wide variety of plants from both within and outside Idukki District. The plants include decorative garden varieties such as roses, orchids, crotons among others. The show also features plants suitable for both kitchen and herbal gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footfalls to the Show have been increasing with each passing day and the crowds reach a maximum during the evenings when the lights and sound on display make the event a memorable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the awesome display of flowers, stalls have also been set up with focus on sales of home needs and kitchen appliances as well as herbal medicines and the like. The Flower Show also has a collection of amusement rides which are a major attraction among the kids visiting the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Entry fee of Rupees sixty per adult is very reasonable given the time, effort and resources spent on setting up the event. Special discounts are also being provided for school \/ college groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the show is attracting huge crowds from nearby towns and villages as well as visitors from other parts of India, the summer heat seems to be a deterrent in attracting overseas tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure visitors and horticulture enthusiasts from other parts of the world who are reading this article will benefit from planning a visit to Kumily next summer to enjoy the next installment of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
