Taking a peek into the eighth Beijing Florascape flower show

Beijing Florascape (BJFC) is a state-owned ornamental young-plant supplier and landscaping company in China.

The BJFC flower show is normally held every two years during IPM Beijing. Because of the strict traveling restrictions due to the COVID-19, BJFC created the second digital broadcast of a flower show this year, like the one in 2020. With the use of VR technology, they achieved a safe but entertaining program for the attendees at BJFC's location. The virtual show was also broadcast across social media platforms such as Wechat, together with lots of online lectures.

The theme of this year's spring flower show is "growing and blooming together with You." The show will last from May 12 to May 22. More than 400 new varieties of self-bred and native plants and more than 600 innovations from foreign breeding companies are displayed in the International Flower Port, Shunyi District, Beijing, and Beijing Florascape Co., Ltd.'s R&D center.
