City blooms in a blaze of flowers
Print Edition
Lotuses and water lilies have bloomed across the city, adding a splash of colors to parks.
The Guyi Garden in Jiading District, the Chenshan Botanical Garden in Songjiang District and the Shanghai Botanical Garden in Xuhui District are some of the best places to appreciate the wonderful flowers.
This year’s flowering is about a week later than last year due to continuous rainfall and a sudden drop in temperature, said Liu Amei, a greenery engineer at the Shanghai Guyi Garden.
The right temperature for lotus growth is between 25 and 32 degrees and the best temperature during the budding phase is above 25 degrees for at least 14 consecutive days, said Liu.
A sudden drop in temperature will affect the budding of the flower. The lotus prefers sunny weather to bloom.
