Garlic Vine in Full Bloom at Longtan Park

By the Mirror Lake on Balong Dam in Longtan Park, the Bignoniaceae garlic vine is stunningly in full bloom! This evergreen vine shrub, native to Guyana and Brazil in South America, thrives in high temperatures, is robust, and has few pests and diseases. The garlic vine blooms from spring through autumn, with its peak flowering period from August to December. The flowers start as light purple, gradually turn pink after a few days, and finally become white before falling off, with the color changing over time, maximizing the romantic vibe. The garlic vine is not only beautiful but also has a "garlic scent" attribute; when the flowers or leaves are rubbed, they emit a garlic smell. Its roots, stems, and leaves can be used medicinally to treat colds, fever, and other respiratory diseases. The flower language, "mutual longing, sweet love," adds to the romantic atmosphere. Stroll through Longtan Park, lean on the railing to admire the flowers, or capture moments with friends—every scene is poetic and healing. Come to Longtan Park for a "color and fragrance" romantic date and experience this gentle surprise from nature!
