New plants arrive

The gardens in China are spectacular. The way flowering annuals are displayed is wonderful. In the city the spent annual plants are quickly dispensed with, and new plants arrive. Another species of annual, fresh and healthy arrives on this little truck and the workers carefully carry the trays of plants to the area to be planted.

Within hours a new garden is created, and in a few short weeks the flowers are blooming.

As well, in certain areas blooming annuals are displayed - still in little plastic pots - they are often about to bloom when placed around other features. They are quickly in full bloom making the gardens of China a spectacular feature of the country.
