Every February and March is the season for plum blossoms. Plum blossoms bloom in the cold wind, and the fragrance is wafting. In the scenic spots of Hunan Botanical Garden, Wangyue Park and Orange Island, plum blossoms are in full bloom in large areas, and the garden is full of fragrance.

It is divided into six viewing areas, including Meixi Shuangying, Qingmeizhuma, Suihan Sanyou, Meixiangting, and Youhuang Pinxiang. Each area has its own characteristics: those who want to smell different plum fragrances can choose Suihan Sanyou, Youhuang Pinxiang and other plum viewing areas; the plum blossoms in Meixi Shuangying area are reflected in the small pond, which is very interesting. Those who want to see plum blossoms of different colors can meet their needs in Suihan Sanyou and Qingmeizhuma.
Wangling Park
A full-shaped red plum blossom on the large lawn of Wangyue Park blooms brightly every year, becoming a beautiful landscape in the park. The green-calyx plum blossoms next to it are not far behind, blooming in competition, and complementing the red plum blossoms, which is extremely beautiful.
The plum blossom forest beside the Moon Bridge in the park has also ushered in its peak flowering period. The main varieties of plum blossoms are cinnabar, palace pink, green calyx, and green plum. Among them, the green calyx plum is a relatively rare variety, famous for its unique green calyx and snow-white petals. Its elegant and refined temperament forms a sharp contrast with the passionate and unrestrained red plum blossoms, but they coexist harmoniously and jointly interpret the hymn of spring.
Orange Island
The plum blossoms in Orange Island have bloomed in competition, opening a romantic flower event. Walking into the Orange Island Plum Garden, it seems like stepping into a dreamlike world. In the nearly 20,000 square meters of plum garden, more than 700 plum blossoms of more than 10 varieties compete for beauty. The palace pink plum blossoms are as beautiful as clouds, the weeping plum blossoms are graceful, and the dragon plum blossoms have different shapes. The flowers range from light pink to rose red, colorful, and rich in fragrance. The breeze blows and the fragrance floats.
Yanghu Wetland Park
One forest and one tower, poetic and picturesque. Under the Egret Tower in Yanghu Wetland Park, plum blossom branches extend vigorously, and the petals connect and blend, forming a plum blossom tunnel. The pink and white flowers dot the branches, which contrasts with the quaint Egret Tower and attracts many tourists to stop and take pictures.
