Flowers of Hong Kong

People know of Hong Kong as a busy moders city and a flourishing commercial centre, but there is another, gentler face to Hong Kong. It is city of thick forests, heavily wooded country parks, natural water falls, forest trails, and lovely flowering trees and shrubs. I enjoyed my stay in Hong Kong, and the walks on its trails along hilly regions, flanked with flowering trees and shrubs. These are some of the cultivated flowers in various gardens. I shall be posting some of the wild flowers I found later.

Red heliconia in a Chinese garden.

Cassia trees laden with yellow flowers are to be seen along many roads.



Begonia never flowers so profusely in my garden.





Pink and orange Azelias were a common feature in most public gardens.


The bauhinia is the official flower of Hong Kong.
