Hong Kong Photo Gallery - Spring Flowers

The worst of winter is probably over by the end of February, and colourful flowers begin to bloom in March.

Nam Cheong Park and surrounding streets have many golden trumpet trees. They are native to South America but were widely planted in parks and around the city.

A lone Pink and White Shower tree, a rare species in the city, blooms in Cherry Street Park.

The bauhinia became Hong Kong's flower emblem is the 1960s, and it still serves that purpose today.

Hiking trails also have plenty of different flowers on display at this time of year.

Cotton trees are bare most of the year but burst into colour during the spring.

The stretch of Prince Edward Road West leading to the flower market and Mongkok is lined with spider trees (crateva unilocularis).
