Thousands of floral enthusiasts gathered at Lalbagh Botanical Garden on Friday as the Independence Day flower show was inaugurated, making a comeback after two pandemic-hit years. From first-time visitors to staunch annual visitors, all spent time observing the rare and exotic flowers on display. However, the floral sculptures and statues of late actors Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar were the centre of attraction at the show.
