A butterfly orchid greenhouse in Tangqiao town, Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu province has become a real hot spot as the spring approaches.
Located in Luyuan district, the large greenhouse named Xianpu Garden was created by Zhao Shuwen, who came to Zhangjiagang from Taiwan in 1993.
The garden covers nearly 3,000 square meters and has around 70,000 butterfly orchids of over 30 varieties. Visitors to the greenhouse are amazed to encounter such a large ocean of the flowers.
When asked why she planted so many, Zhao explained, "Taiwan is one of birthplaces of butterfly orchids and is honored as the "butterfly kingdom". My husband is also a lover of flowers. He hopes to bring butterfly orchids to Zhangjiagang to share with locals here. "
The butterfly orchid is considered the "queen of orchids" and is a popular, auspicious flower for home decorations, always adding a festive atmosphere.
