Shanghai Botanical Garden - The Chinese Cymbidium Room

The Chinese Cymbidium Room (Orchids)

Obviously, this is not only a room. It is a beautiful Chinese garden with pavilions and walkways. This garden specializes in Chinese Orchids (Cymbidium).These orchids are not like the usual chubby sized orchids. These have narrow leaves and long drooping flowers. Confucius called these magnificent flowers the "King of Fragrance".

This garden would be in full bloom in Spring!












Orchids were planted and protected in this hall
Chrysanthemums














Lucky to be able to see some orchids in this autumn season! These were planted in a greenhouse.







Beautiful autumn colors

Meows were arguing!
