Greet early arrival of plum blossoms at HZ Botanical Garden

In recent days, the wintersweet trees in Hangzhou Botanical Garden have also been eager to bloom. Although the wintersweet flowers are still in their early stages and the fragrance is subtle, they are equally worth savoring.
An expert in plum blossoms and senior engineer at the botanical garden mentioned that the first plum bloom this year arrived unusually early. "This situation is quite rare. Normally, the first red plum blossom appears around New Year's, but this year, it's about half a month earlier."

At Hangzhou Botanical Garden, the plum blossoms are mainly concentrated in the VieLingfeng Plum Blossom wing Area. Traditionally, the peak bloom period is around mid-February. Will the early appearance of the "first flower" lead to an earlier overall bloom time for the majority of the blossoms?
Additionally, he mentioned that the wintersweet trees in the area are also in their early bloom stages. To see the full, star-like bloom on the trees, visitors will need to be patient and wait a bit longer.
Generally speaking, the process of admiring plum blossoms can be divided into three classic stages: "Seeking the Plum" (one or two flowers bloom among a cluster of buds), "Exploring the Plum" (20 to 30% of the buds bloom with no fallen flowers), and "Admiring the Plum" (peak bloom period, gradually transitioning into the fall of petals).
