While the show was a wonder at first view, regular visitors expected much more. "I've been visiting the show for six years. This time has been disappointing there are hardly any rare species on show. The sheer variety was much greater last year. The only plant that caught my eye was dracaena and I decided to take a sapling home," said Amrish Panchal, a 56-year-old resident of Paldi.
Others were excited at the varieties of flowers available. "I'm in love with lilies and the variety here is amazing. I will pick up a few before I head home," said Vrinda Dave, 25-year-old resident of Judges Bungalows.
To honour the World Heritage City status of Ahmedabad, the AMC has dedicated a corner at the flower show to showcase the city's heritage. Films with narratives of the city's heritage and architecture were screened to showcase our world heritage city.
