Blooms at Hong Kong Wetland Park
Light purple bloom
Last week I brought the kids to the Hong Kong Wetland Park. It was a great opportunity for them to get close to nature as we live in a metropolitan city full of high rise buildings.
It was the 2nd time that they have visited the park. The last time we visited the park was 3 years ago when Tiger girl was in Hong Kong for her 1st birthday celebration.

There has been quite a bit of changes in the park since our last visit. There was significantly lesser insects around and we couldn’t spot any birds. I guess that the summer heat of 33 degrees Celsius was keeping the animals away in hiding.
A dark purplish bloom
It wasn’t easy to zoom in an take photographs as my trusty DSLR was on holiday with R in N Z. I had to make do with his Sony Cybershot with it’s limited zoom range.
A white bloom
I had to literally place the camera at the flower to get a good close up of it. We didn’t stay long at the park as it was getting extremely hot by midday and the kids and I decided to call it a day and head back to some air-con comfort.
Have you been to the park lately?
