Step into the Tropical Wonderland! Spring Flower Viewing in Sri Lanka

The Royal Botanical Gardens of Sri Lanka is a treasure trove of flora recognized by the United Nations! Stroll through the century-old green corridors and step into the healing Monet Garden~💐

📸 Must-visit Fairy Plants + Photogenic Flower Photography Guide
▫ 'Blue Water Lily' — The blue-purple elf floating on the mirror lake, blooming in the morning like a spilled paint palette!
→ Find a sunny day with morning mist, squat at the edge of the wooden walkway and shoot from a low angle
→ Create a symmetrical composition with the dewdrops on the petals and the reflection on the lake, enhance the blue-purple color by increasing the 'Hue' parameter during editing

▫ 'Flame Tree' — A giant 'red umbrella' exploding overhead, unlock the 'Tree of Life' perspective from Avatar by shooting upwards🔥
→ Lie on the ground and shoot upwards with an ultra-wide angle, making the branches radiate outward
→ Wear a white long dress and lie on the fallen flowers, spreading the skirt as the foreground for a more dreamy effect

▫ 'Palm Maze' — Over 800 palm species form a green dome, creating a time tunnel effect with dappled light🌴
→ Capture the 'Tyndall effect' when the sunlight slants at 3 PM
→ Have the person stand at the end of the corridor to appear small, highlighting the dome's depth

▫ 'Cannonball Tree' — A peculiar tree covered with 'meteor hammers'! The pink-purple flowers have a dark fairy tale vibe (don't be scared by the name haha)
→ Place the phone on the ground and shoot upwards at a 45-degree angle to capture the twisted branches, focusing on the curled edges of the petals
→ Use the 'Lime' + 'Dark' filters for an instant sci-fi feel

💡Tips: Wear light-colored long dresses for better photos!
🎨 Universal Editing Formula: Brightness +20 / Contrast -10 / Highlights -30 / Hue +15 (suitable for blue-purple plants)
