With the theme of ‘Beauty of Vietnamese Flowers’, the exhibition will display a countrywide variety of flowers such as the bauhinia and plum blossom of the northwest; the yellow apricot of the south, and orchid from Da Lat.
The exhibition will also feature flower and bonsai installation art, handicrafts display ; film shows, arts performances and flower arrangement. The vote for the national flower will be undertaken through the mass media.
Previous referenda in Hanoi and Da Nang have both voted the pink lotus as the top candidate in the selection of the national flower. Based on the result of the three referendums, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will make a recommendation to the Government to proclaim “Vietnam’s National Flower”.
