Flower Show to adorn Victoria Park with theme flower stock from March 20 (with photos)
**************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Flower Show (HKFS) is the city's annual spectacular for flower enthusiasts, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. This year's HKFS will be held at Victoria Park for 10 days from March 20 to 29, running from 9am to 9pm daily, featuring the elegant stock as its theme flower under the theme "A Fragrant Journey through Hong Kong". With delicate fragrance and rich hues, the blooming flowers of stock blend into the garden landscapes that capture Hong Kong's unique character, enabling visitors to savour the city's charming beauty amid floral scents while adding splendid colours to Victoria Park.
 
     Native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, stock is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Matthiola in the Brassicaceae family. It blooms from early spring to early summer. The stock is readily identifiable by its characteristic four-petalled cross-shaped flowers. The inflorescence is a raceme, with clusters of around 10 small flowers in terminal and on stalks. The sun-loving flowers open in bursts from the bottom upwards.
 
     The stock comes in an array of colours, ranging from vibrant classic ones like purple, pink, white and yellow, to fresher and softer hues of newer cultivars, such as pale lilac, creamy yellow and pastel pink. Extensive cultivation and improvements have produced a host of single-petalled and double-petalled cultivars, which vary in height and size, each with its own attractiveness.
 
     With its dazzling colour, heady scent, abundant supply and relatively long blooming period, the stock is deeply adored by gardening enthusiasts. Whether grown in parterres, pots or used as cut flowers, it brings fragrance and beauty. Essential oils of stock have long been used in perfumes and aromatherapy.
 
     In addition to this year's theme flower and other flowering plants, the gardens along the central axis are specially infused with strong Hong Kong characteristics, bringing visitors the city's unique cultural diversity and urban charm amid floral fragrances in the air. The event will showcase a large collection of exquisite potted plants, beautiful floral arrangements and well-crafted landscape displays by local, Mainland and overseas organisations. There will also be commercial stalls selling flowers and horticultural products. A wide variety of educational and recreational fringe activities will also be held for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
 
     For more details about the HKFS and its admission fee arrangements, please visit the webpage at www.hkflowershow.hk/en/hkfs/2026/index.html or call 2601 8260 for enquiries.
 
     The HKFS is organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is supporting the flower show for the 14th consecutive year and has been its major sponsor since 2014.
