On a sunny June day, it is the capital’s annual horticultural exhibition, regularly held behind the Musée de l'Orangerie in the Tuileries Garden downtown. It is a grand gathering for gardening enthusiasts who love flowers and plants. At this exhibition, people can see new gardening trends and new varieties of flora, as well as new gardening equipment and decorations. The colorful capital reportedly sees Parisians spend enough on flowers and gardening each year to update two highways from Paris to Bordeaux (it is said that Taiwanese people alone spend enough on gluttony to consume one highway; loving food is human nature, just as loving beauty is). As a flower enthusiast myself, I am no exception; whenever possible, I go there to bathe among the flowers and plants. Each visit feels like a spiritual journey, and naturally, I also satisfy my curiosity by learning about new developments in horticulture. Today, urban horticulture is highly developed with new trends, such as vertical plant walls becoming fashionable, which not only beautify cities but also transform their extraordinary landscapes. In this year's Tuileries Garden Exhibition, two major discoveries stood out: the concepts of botanical ecological gardens and sky gardens. Furthermore, there were unique insights into color and structure, and many rare or new varieties of flowers and plants were seen (such as nearly black-purple taro and swallow-tail lavender). Orchids were also quite charming and popular, always surrounded by crowds of spectators listening to experts introduce care instructions. There were also many gardening decorative objects close to modern sculpture, which were pleasing to the eye and enriched horticultural knowledge, making it easy to spend a wonderful afternoon.
