攝於大埔林村嘉道理。從入口處往觀音山方向步行大概四十分鐘,就可到達農場內的吊鐘路。路的兩旁種植了一列列吊鐘花,而再往觀音山頂走,路旁亦隱約可見到吊鐘花的蹤影。
吊鐘花,於農曆新年附近的時候均會慢慢開花。一個個吊鐘在綻放,彷似在把新年來臨的消息,響遍滿山,把喜慶傳遍開去。亦彷似在敲醒沉睡已久的大地,去迎接充滿生機的春天。
From Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, Tai Po, Hong Kong. This kind of flower is called Chinese New Year Flower as it usually starts blossoming near Chinese New Year. Looking like bells, it seems that they are ringing and helping spread the message of the coming of New Year to all of us. Or even to wake those animals up after the long cold winter.
