(Changhua County, CNA reporter Hsiao Po-yang, 13th) Hushan Rock daylily flowers saw 16 "first-day blooms" today, a noticeable increase compared to last year's 3 blooms. An estimated 300,000 flowers are expected to be in full bloom from late April to early May, with the blooming season anticipated to last until June. The Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Administration stated that this year's flower conditions will be better than in previous years, welcoming visitors for flower viewing on Mother's Day.
The Hushan Rock in Baishakeng, Huatan Township, attracts large crowds every time the daylilies bloom. The Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Tourism Bureau stated that 16 "first-day blooms" were discovered early this morning, marking the lively start of this year's daylily season. An estimated 300,000 flowers are expected to be in full bloom from late April to early May, creating a golden sea of flowers covering the hillside and establishing it as Central Taiwan's most iconic flower-viewing landmark in late spring.
Cao Chung-yao, Director of the Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Administration, stated that Hushan Rock's daylily flowers are the "most beautiful sea of flowers on Mother's Day." Due to favorable weather conditions this year and proper care by the garden owner, the park is laden with flower buds, and this year's flower conditions are expected to be better than in previous years. The daylily variety planted at Hushan Rock is "Taitung No. 7," which has the characteristic of blooming twice a year, and the blooming season is estimated to last until June, providing ample time for the public to enjoy the flowers.
Cao Chung-yao added that the Hushan Rock Daylily Festival not only offers flower viewing but also integrates religious culture and industrial characteristics to create diverse experiences. In addition to enjoying the golden sea of flowers, visitors can participate in the representative oil lamp blessing ceremony at Hushan Rock. Furthermore, Huatan Township is known as the "hometown of jasmine flowers," allowing visitors to also experience the jasmine flower industry and related products, extending their journey from a sea of flowers to the aroma of tea and local culture.
The Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Administration stated that it held an activity to predict the date of the first daylily bloom through its official Facebook fan page, from April 10 until the actual bloom date. The activity attracted over 1,600 netizens to comment, accumulated over 7,700 likes, and was shared by more than 1,000 people, generating buzz and warming up for the flower season in advance. Netizens who guessed the correct bloom date have a chance to win a gift package. (Edited by Chen Ching-fang) 1150413
