Shanghai Cingshan Botanical Garden, located at №3888, Cinnabar Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai, is an important base for plant research and conservation in China, and a great place to keep visitors enjoying themselves.
Mr. Ji Xianlin’s (a famous writer in China)”February Orchid” writes about the wildflower in a spiritual way. “Beside the house, under the hedge, in the forest, on the hill, on the soil slope, by the lake, wherever there is a gap, there is a cloud of purple mist, interspersed with white mist, and the small flowers bloom with great vigor. Purple gas straight into the clouds, even the universe seems to become purple ……” “Purple mist” is a word used by the ancients to describe that something is precious or someone is auspicious, but used to describe the February orchid is also very appropriate. “When the beauty is still alive, every time she went home, as long as the February orchid blooms, she left, always through the left hand is the purple mist of the February orchid, the right hand is the green smoke of the lakeside willows, hurriedly walked away, my eyes have been brought to the opposite shore of the lake at the corner.” It is a melancholy sight to see the beauty of this springtime.
February and March in the lunar calendar is the time when February orchids bloom. Full of purple clusters under the trees, as if to the emerald green leaves set a purple edge, like a dream. During the blooming season, visitors can not only enjoy the February orchids, but also stand in front of the sea of flowers and smell the flavor of spring, relax and return to nature.
Of course, the current time of year is slowly fading the aura of the February orchid. In its place, another plant is shining.
Hilin grass, the English name baby-blue-eyes, means the blue color of the flower is like the pure eyes of a baby, with the color closest to heaven.
