Botanical Gardens


After getting our medical exams in Wuchang for our residency cards, LJ took us and our co-worker and friend, Steph, to a botanical gardens here in Wuhan.  The gardens were right on East Lake which is the largest city lake in China.

This is the Plum Blossom, which is the city flower of Wuhan and blooms in January and February. For that reason its called the winter flower.  We went in the end of February, so we were just in time to see it. 


There was a very large indoor orchid garden. I'm not sure if we've ever seen so many orchids in one place. 
 

There were also many ponds and creeks running through the gardens with several gazebos to sit and reflect.
