The sun is shining today and the air visibility is great, so I went hiking again. Come and see these flowers every day. The largest area has not yet bloomed. There are still many varieties of hydrangeas, with various colors and patterns. The sun is very warm and the temperature is not high. The overall comfort of flower viewing is very good. Look forward to the beautiful scenery of hydrangeas blooming!
