Serenade of lilies

The Van Dusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was established in 1971, covering an area of 25 hectares and collecting plants from around the world. It is a place of enchanting beauty. In the pond of the botanical garden, water lilies spread luxuriantly, their leaves floating gracefully on the water’s surface like green plates, and the delicate flowers blooming among them are like shy maidens. In the distance, there stands a small red bridge, which is like a beautiful ribbon, adding a touch of bright colour to this natural picture. It seems to tell the stories of the past quietly, while harmonizing perfectly with the surrounding greenery and water, creating a scene that is both peaceful and picturesque.
