As spring arrives, a myriad of flowers blossom. In this most delightful season, it’s the perfect time to go out for an outing and admire the blossoms. The irises, with their delicate and beautiful small wildflowers in pinkish-purple hues tinged with yellow and radiating petals, are often planted by watersides, ponds, or along garden pathways. Their lifespan is quite short, as they are sun-loving plants, so they can only be seen during the sunniest hours. If you come too early, the iris flowers haven’t opened yet; if you come too late, they’ve already closed up. Currently, at Xianglin Elementary School in Alishan, tens of millions of iris blooms are enthusiastically flourishing. They are not featured in the forest recreation area’s guide brochures or on trail signs—you can only see them at Xianglin Elementary School.

The irises at Xianglin Elementary School have grown rapidly in recent years, with the blooming area expanding year by year. Currently in full bloom, the floral display can last until June. There are no fences here, and visitors are welcome to come and enjoy the flowers, but the school also calls on everyone to help maintain the campus environment.
