I took a break from hectic work to relax in Chung Shan and Yun Ping for a couple of days last week. We were told that the azaleas would be blooming at the municipal park of Chung Shan. But when we arrived, the local guide told us that this year, the azaleas were not that good. However, to my surprise, there was a mini-exhibition of chrysanthemum, the municipal flower of Chung Shan at the town park. The varieties were quite limited though But that's better than nothing at all. So....
Elephants loaded with gold!
A sea of chrysanthemums in purple, yellow,and red
a tiny chrysanthemum on the verge of full bloom
Another ball of yellow and red
overflowing gold
Display of power
A twin?
A ball of yellowish musical crochets
Yellow turning white
Pink tubules
pink and yellow tubules
a pink heart
and a Heart in red
The flowers are beautiful. What a good place.

Beautiful shots! I like the yellow and red chrysanthemum in particular!
