April 2nd was a nice day so me and a couple hundred thousand of my friends went to the botanical garden for a wander. I'm not much of a photography enthusiast so the only camera i have is my phone.

Yeah no shit, been out in Hangzhou the past couple of days and it's been chaos. Good pictures as well. Went to the botanical garden here but didn't make it to the proper flowers.

Thanks Stil! I have never seen Tulips growing and probably never will now, except in photos such as these.

I went to the botanical garden here in Beijing over the holiday, but it was still too early for anything but peach blossoms.  I enjoyed seeing all that green and color- things are still mostly brown/grey up here!

Wow!!! Sitting and lying in that dirt in a WHITE wedding dress! th_ao

The flowers are really lovely though. Do they have a problem with people picking them?

Perhaps surprisingly, no.

Great photos, Stil.

Wondered if there were any birds in that great setting ... but I see that you found one!

Stil, I'm surprised that no one appears to pick the flowers and sell them.

I was with my girlfriend, so taking photos of other girls was not going to be a great idea, especially with a camera phone.

The entrance fees probably make it not worth it to pick and sell and you wouldn't be able to leave without being noticed by guards.
