KATHMANDU: The recent 25th Flora Expo in Kathmandu saw impressive sales, totaling over Rs 10.05 million.

Organized by the Floriculture Association Nepal and the Floriculture Development Centre, the four-day event attracted 49,100 visitors.

Various stalls, including commercial, landscaping, and official ones, showcased the vibrant floral diversity of Nepal.
