Winter jasmine can also be the star of the show. Here's a whole wall of cascading winter jasmine.

It's plum blossom season again~ This year, the temperature rose early, and it is said that the plum blossoms are already in bloom~ I still remember enjoying the plum blossoms at the Ming City Wall Ruins last year, so I came early this year to appreciate them again~ Today, I visited the Ming City Wall once more~
At the foot of the ancient city wall, all the plum blossoms are budding and ready to burst forth~ There aren't many plum blossoms in full bloom yet, I estimate less than a third~ Although it's not yet the peak blooming season, there are already a constant stream of visitors~
Fortunately, the few plum trees near the southeast corner tower are blooming quite well. A tree of Gongfen plum is already in full bloom, and the Sanlun Yudieplum, which bloomed the earliest last year, is also covered in blossoms~ Other varieties like the Tiaozhi plum and Chuizhi plum are still only sparsely blooming, but I estimate they should be in full bloom next week~
I love the plum blossoms at the Ming City Wall Ruins, especially the sight of red and white plums against the backdrop of the weathered ancient city wall, a scene that blends ancient history with resilient life~ I also enjoy the view of the towering corner towers of the city wall through the blooming plum blossoms~ It's a beautiful tapestry of ancient ruins and vibrant life~ I admire the resilient spirit of the plum blossoms, which I feel perfectly complements the ancient city wall ruins~
I arrived a little early, but I still enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the plum blossoms and the ancient city, making the trip worthwhile~ And the blossoms should be even better in the next few days~ Consider this a teaser~
