Mosaiculture display
Supporting the cause: Students erect a spectacular mosaiculture display in Victoria Park to support the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Equestrian Events.

More than 400 students from 16 schools have made a spectacular mosaiculture display at Victoria Park to show support for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the Equestrian Events to be held in Hong Kong.

 

Entitled 'Equestrian Joy', the display features the mascots of the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, and eight horses on the lawn. It will be exhibited at the coming Flower Show.

 

The mosaiculture has been created from colourful plants including Kalanchoe, Cigar Flower, Golden Dewdrop, Marguerite, New Guinea Impatiens, Chrysanthemum Multicaule, Dusty Miller. Some of the plant sculptures are also designed with movable parts, adding motion to the spectacular display.

 

The annual flower show, organised by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, will run from March 14 to 24, with the Gerbera as the show's theme flower.

 

Tickets are available until March 24 at the department��s District Leisure Services Offices, and venues with Leisure Link services. Tickets will also be sold at the entrance to the showground at Victoria Park throughout the show period.
