Horticulturists, Experts, Scientists form every other corner of the country participated in the show. Their floral art had glorified the event.Being regular visitor of the show, I didn’t miss an opportunity to see beauty of nature, peace, love, care and tranquility this year too.  Like always when i entered in the floral world i felt like that i am in another world of happiness and peace. Pleasure i got from blossoms is hard to explain in words. Flowers were blossoming with pride and dignified manner everywhere. Blossoms and their fragrances were giving the clear message that Pakistan has to prospers and days are not far when Pakistan would be standing in the ranks of the most peaceful countries of the world. This colorful world filled with multiple fragrances was chanting the slogans of peace and Wind was busy to spread flowers’ message wherever it was going irrespective of its direction.This colorful world reminded me the famous quotation of   “GEORGIA O’KEEFE, who” said that,“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment.
