Mangnolia flowers
March marks the flowering season of Mangolias, which are mostly seen with white, pink, yellow and purple petals, usually appearing with or before leaves. Wangchun Pavilion and Wanhua Garden are recommended sites to admire the flower at the Slender West Lake Scenic Area.
Winter jasmines
Winter jasmines are one of the earliest flowering plants to bloom, often in January. They bloom to the fullest from late February to early March.
The decorative plant is easy to spot near many walls, fences and stretches of trellis at the Slender West Lake Scenic Area with its bright yellow blooms.
Honeysuckle
The plant is a bushy deciduous shrub with extraordinarily fragrant blooms. The whole hill across the Bonsai Museum at the Wanhua Garden is planted with the shrub. From late February to early April, the hill is covered with a profusion of fragrant, short-tubed, creamy-white flowers at the Slender West Lake Scenic Area.
Malus spectabilis
Many varieties of Haitang (Chinese flowering crabapple or Malus spectabilis) have been planted at the Slender West Lake Scenic Area. The plant begins to flower in mid and late March and enters into full bloom in April.
Wanhua Garden and Linglong Flowery World are the most recommended sites to admire the blooming Malus spectabilis.
