Change of Clothes at Kadoorie Farm 1

Since getting to know of its existence earlier this year, the Kadoorie Farm between Taipo and Yuen Long has never once disappointed me. Recently it has put on  its autumn attire.



The gardeners there really put their heart into their work. Every season, they give the farm a new look.



These are some of the flowers I found on the slopes.



It's already autumn.  Many flowers have turned into berries, fruits and seeds.



More prickly fruit



There are all kinds of little flowers there.



Similar ones in red.



A brightly colored daisy.



Another one


A daisy in yellow



More flowers on the hill slopes



The flower of some kind of vegetable in the organic garden



This is one of lilies growing by the road side



Another kind of little flowers I found on the roadside



Tiny little flowers like those we find on some of our beaches



Little flowers in white.



These too are common flowers which we can find everywhere in the public gardens, but here, somehow, they look much prettier.



Their cousins in white and pink



Their brothers with a brighter hue



Probably of the same family but much less delicate



More of the same, but growing in a string instead of in clusters



Bigger flowers in purple



I have seen plenty of hibiscus but this is the first time I saw one in light purple !



This is another kind of very common flowers in the public parks



Another kind of purple flower found growing by the roadside



More common wild flowers which can be found everywhere in the country paths.


These lilies are found everywhere along the slopes



A closer up of two of them



More roadside flowers



The flower of a kind of cactus plant



Found these beautiful orchid like flowers growing by the road side



But that doesn't in any way mean they're inferior



All kinds of orchids, like this one in pink can be found in the green house for orchids.This one in yellow, white and purple



This one in yellow, orange and pink



This one in yellow and brown



This one in white and pink



These small ones in purple



These larger ones in deep pink



Its heart



Other large ones in purple



Its heart



And this white one with a pocket



Another one with a pocket



Another one slightly different



And this one which looks a flower with wings



A faded night-blooming cereus lying disconsolate on the ground. How different from the one at the the start of this blog, its head held high in hopes ? A sad reminder of what awaits us all. But sad or hopeful, life simply moves on !

    [版主回覆10/17/2012 12:34:55]They're really lovely beyond words. I wish I could capture even one tenth of their beauty. You should see them swaying in the wind ! So alive !

  4. I was there a couple of years ago but didn't see as many flowers as you have shown here.
    Thanks for the floral display.
    [版主回覆10/17/2012 19:34:29]You probably were in a big hurry! There are many smaller "gardens" within the farm: orchid, ferns, butterfly, organic cultivation etc and in addition, there were flowers along each side of the winding roads up the two hilltops!
