Blossoms

Bangalore the 'Garden City Of India' was known for its beautiful parks,numerous lakes and tree lined streets.But sadly it is these parks and lakes that have fallen prey to the Concrete Revolution that is currently engulfing the entire city. Lal Bagh often known as the pendant in the necklace of Bangalore's parks showcases a rich and vibrant display of flora that the city is home to.The Department of Horticulture organises the famous 'Flower Show' at the Glass House which is modelled on London's Crystal Palace. This event is held twice a year as a part of the Republic Day and Independence Day celebrations.On display are a wide range of flowers of different hues,ikebana,vegetable carvings and a lot more.The flowers and the various floral arrangements are a real treat to the nature lover's eye. During this time people throng the park in large numbers to have a glimpse of the flower show.The flower show is probably one of the few things about Bangalore which has not had a drastic change in the recent times. Here are some of the pictures that were taken in the Flower Show held in January 2006.
