The vigorous cosmos comes in an array of vibrant colours symbolising tenacity and bliss. This year's theme flower wall features six bouquets of cosmos models, each ranging in diameter from 1.4 to 2.1 metres. Embedded with colourful orchids and carnations, the flower wall brings exuberance and vitality to the show. The layered design of the theme flower wall, set against the vibrant colours of around 10 000 tulips in front, creates a feast for the eyes.

There will also be meticulously designed landscaped displays along the showground axis with a world tour theme. The Grand Journey across Europe landscape features an English garden, a Dutch windmill, a Greek-style hut, and a French lavender field, while the Wonders of Africa, a parterre of the Jockey Club Mosaiculture Display by Students, features adorable installations made of cut flowers showcasing animals such as a gorilla, a hippopotamus, a camel, and a giraffe. Members of the public can enjoy the beauty of the Himalayas, Mount Kinabalu of Malaysia, Mount Fuji of Japan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and the Supertree Grove in Singapore in the "Travelling around Asia" landscape. Afterwards, visitors can embark on "An Adventure to the Americas" to experience the culture and heritage through installations such as a Maya pyramid, Easter Island statues, and Western cowboys.

To celebrate the upcoming 15th National Games, the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities, and the 9th National Special Olympic Games, the flower show has specially designed a garden plot entitled "Joyful Vibrancy Around Town". Featuring five crescent-shaped art installations inspired by sports, the plot is adorned with cosmos of different species and colours, creating a delightful atmosphere. Members of the public can also take photos with the event mascots "Xi Yang Yang" and "Le Rong Rong" in front of a wall banner for the National Games.

Another floral display, "A Gifts of Nature", resembles a giant gift box filled with mesmerising flowers. As night falls, the gift box is illuminated with soft lights, creating a romantic ambiance. Another highlight is the special plant exhibits displaying rare flowering plants such as purple bells, gold finger plant, blue potato vine, and sandpaper vine (white flower), in addition to a selection of foliage plants from the Marantaceae family.

An exhibition booth displaying artworks by the nonagenarian local artist Fapopo (Flower Granny) is set up in the showground. Fapopo uses everyday household items such as Chinese woks, folding chairs, and plastic basins as her canvas, and her creations are vibrant and colourful with childlike energy. Other attractions include the intriguing "The Giant Teapot in Miniature World" display inside the floral marquee, panda-themed photo-taking spots, and a giant bouncy slide (opening hours: 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays) at the Central Lawn.

The show also showcases a rich profusion of potted plants, floral arrangements, and landscape displays by local, Mainland China, and overseas organisations. Commercial stalls will be set up to sell snacks, beverages, flowers, and horticultural products. A vast range of educational and recreational fringe activities, such as floral arrangement demonstrations, gardening lectures, music, and cultural performances, will be offered for visitors of all ages. This year, busking street performances and floral art demonstrations for home are added to the activities lineup.

A total of 238 organisations, including 81 exhibitors from 11 countries, namely Mainland China, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Poland, Malaysia and the United States, will be taking part in the show.

The HKFS is organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has supported the Flower Show since 2013 and has been its major sponsor since 2014.

Secretary Sun Confident in Smooth Launch of $2 Flat Rate Transport Discount for Elderly

Remarks by SLW at media session (with photos/video)

The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, met the media today (April 3), after observing the implementation of the "$2 flat rate or 80 per cent discount" on the first day at Tiu Keng Leng Station Public Transport Interchange. Following are Mr Sun's remarks at the media session:

Reporter: How do you evaluate the first-day roll-out of the scheme, and how do you address the fact that some elderly are not comprehensively understanding the whole implementation?

Secretary for Labour and Welfare: Today, 3rd of April, is the date when the "$2 flat rate or 80 per cent discount" is officially launched. For minibuses and for buses, the launch time was midnight today. For the MTR, it started from its first train which departed the terminal at 5.30am this morning.

So far, based on our territory-wide promotion, and also my own personal contact with the elderly through my visit to Wong Tai Sin including a public market and a restaurant, most of them are familiar with the operation of the "$2 flat rate or 80 per cent discount". They know the operation is very straightforward, for any fare that is at $10 or below, they still just need to pay $2. For fare that is over $10, the elderly just bare 20 per cent of the cost, and the rest of the fare will be borne by the Government. I gave them an example, for a bus fare that charges an adult for $15, the elderly people with JoyYou card would only have to pay $3, i.e. 20 per cent of the fare.

So, apart from today, we are also going to step up our promotion through television, radio and posters which have been posted all around Hong Kong. Also, as you can see, in 75 spots in Hong Kong, we are stationing the ambassadors for a total of three weeks. They are in the spots to help answer questions about the "$2 flat rate or 80 per cent discount". Apart from that, we have had the support of district councillors, Care Team members, and also staff of our welfare NGOs (non-governmental organisations). They are using their own ways to explain the operation of the "$2 flat rate or 80 per cent discount". We are pretty confident that the scheme is now being launched smoothly, and for those who will be using the new arrangement, they know about the operation.

Thank you very much.
