‘Upset at sight of withered flowers’
CHANDIGARH: The rain had a devastating effect on the flowers to be
featured in the Chrysanthemum show, leaving them with withered petals.
While softer varieties took most of the brunt, full blossoms also
suffered the vagaries of the weather.
The worst affected varieties include Diamond jubilee, Seaston sulphor, Achievement, Icile, Pink rayonette and Carnation gold. These flowers have fine, tapering petals, almost like needles, which render them sensitive to the onslaught of rain.
The open blossoms also sustained damage. "I was very excited about the show but was disappointed at the condition of the flowers," said Rajni Chopra of Sector 32. Sector 10 resident Chetan Pathak said he was upset at the sight of withered flowers.
Expressing his helplessness, MC chief engineer S S Bida said they did not know the weather forecast as dates for the show had been finalized long back.
