Brief Introduction
Every flower is a little world. Each has its own story to tell. The beauty of flowers adds colour to the land. Without them, the Earth would be dull and unexciting, and the countryside would not be the multi-coloured wonderland we know. Whether it is the Champion’s Rhododendron, which brightens up Ma On Shan in spring, the Chinese Dodder of Siu Lek Yuen, which blooms in summer, the Smooth Crotalaria, which sways elegantly in the autumn breeze on Hong Kong Island, or the Paper-bark Tree, which braves the winter chills in Shing Mun, a flowering plant always captures your heart. This book is another publication on local wild flowers, following the debut of Hong Kong Wildflowers. With light-hearted text and amusing stories, it presents 101 wild flowers along with their special features, common sites and flowering periods. With book in hand, you can enjoy the beauty of wild flowers in the Hong Kong countryside all through the year. We invite you to enter 101
colourful worlds and enjoy a never-ending show of blooming beauty.
