It was on 16th May in 1975 that Sikkim became a part of Indian
Union.
It is a land-locked mountainous state.
Floriculture is an extremely important sub-sector under
horticulture for Sikkim .

rhododendron(i.e 48% of world’s variety), cymbidium orchids, rose, lillium,
alstoemeira, zanteschia, gerbera and carnations are showcased to the domestic
