The Flower Exhibition Centre, situated in Gangtok, displays flowers from different parts of Sikkim together under a single roof that makes it a paradise for all nature lovers. Sikkim has a rich heritage of different kinds of flowers, including poppies, gentians and primulas, and the true gems are orchids and rhododendrons. Of the 5000 species of orchids known worldwide, 600 can be found in Sikkim alone, along with 30 species of rhododendron. The climate is favourable for horticulture and has been thriving, benefiting those who are involved in the business. As we know, orchid has a huge demand in the flower market that makes growers plant more varieties of orchids. Not only orchids but other decorative plants also have a good market demand.
Visitors spend hours here, only staring at the flowers. There is a small artificial water pond in the center and a small bridge over it, where tourists are seen taking pictures of each other enjoying the atmosphere of the place.
