A great variety of blossoms, including phalaenopsis and azalea, have recently come into full bloom in Zhangzhou, Fujian province.
Zhangzhou, situated in the southwest of Fujian, is home to one of the largest daffodil bases in the country and is dubbed the "Hometown of Daffodils in China".
A coastal province in Southeast China, Fujian's subtropical climate makes the region home to a realm of fragrances and colors even through the coldest months like January and February.
