Get ready for a sea of flowers with a fresh look during the holiday season! The Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market in Houli District is hosting a Lily Season in its European-style garden. Local flower farmers have selected heat-resistant varieties, planting over 100,000 lilies of more than 40 types that will bloom in rotation until mid-June. This floral spectacle is complemented by a 6-hectare expanse of bougainvillea, roses, salvia, and feverfew, offering a “feast of a hundred blooms” to attract families looking to celebrate Children’s Day with an outing.
Known as the “Mini Flower Expo of Houli,” the Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market follows its soothing Tulip Season with this lily showcase. Yesterday, six Ukrainian dancers were invited to perform samba in the flower fields, waving colorful lily bouquets and putting on a glamorous flower fairy runway show to highlight the beauty of these lovely blooms.
Flower farmer Lai Chi-wen noted that the garden spans 6 hectares, with its 300-ping European-style garden focusing mainly on bulbous flowers. This season, the lilies have been specially selected; based on Taiwan’s spring and summer climate, heat-tolerant varieties such as Longiflorum, Oriental, Red Power, and Golden General have been chosen, totaling over 100,000 plants that will bloom in turns until mid-June.
Lai added that the park also features a variety of other flowers, including calla lilies, bougainvillea, roses, salvia, cleome, colorful morning glories, and feverfew. Paired with European-style landscapes such as pianos and beautiful statues, they offer fantastic photo opportunities for photography enthusiasts. Flower lovers shouldn’t miss this explosion of colors.
