An integral part of the city’s annual Hong Kong Flower Show, this exhibition encourages visitors to explore the fascinating world of flowers with their 5 senses – sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. What is the crucial role flowers play in pollination and how do they contribute to biodiversity and the survival of our planet? And what do those hidden patterns on flowers tell us and can plants really talk to us? This and more as visitors unravel the mysteries behind flowers and discover their importance in nature.
