Ooty is renowned for its 'Flower Show' which is a splash of colourful blooms showcased in the vast scenic expanse of the Government Botanical Garden, every summer. This year, the 123rd Flower Show will be held from May 17-21 for five days, for which the Government Botanical Garden is being prepped up. 



90 different varieties of flowers including the Marigold, French Marigold, Petunia, Salvia and Dahlia which were planted in 15,000 flower pots have blossomed and is a veritable feast to the eyes. Tourists who braved the heavy rains this past week in Ooty are finding solace in the riot of a fully bloomed Botanical Garden, now.
