Rang-e-Bahar

رنگِ بہار

The colours of the season, gathered in one hall.

Rang-e-Bahar — "the colours of spring" — is the club's summer show, timed for the season's fullest colour: roses at their first peak and the winter-sown annuals in bloom. Sweet peas, dahlias, stocks and larkspur fill the cut-flower tables, with pot plants, hanging baskets, floral art and home gardens alongside.
