The flower fields were only a couple hundred yards past where we went on Sunday - but at least we were able to find parking when we went back today. Jiaying was NOT impressed - she says they will not have such a crowd next year. The flowers at Yuan Bo Yuan are MUCH more impressive, but we'll have to wait a couple months for their spring display.

or #### [Another visit to 玉林园愽园 Yuan Bo Yuan](https://steemit.com/china/@randyw/another-visit-to-yuan-bo-yuan)
for their fall colors. The flowers were near Gao Shan Cun 高山村, another minimalist restoration of an ancient village which we also visited today. You'll have to wait until I've processed THOSE pictures, however. A visit to ### [城北镇高山村 Cheng Bei Zhen Gao Shan Cun in Yulin](https://steemit.com/china/@randyw/cheng-bei-zhen-gao-shan-cun-in-yulin) from a few years back. *images are my own. Please click to enlarge* ### Lots of selfie taking.

I think the flowers were just a between-season crop that the farmers were trying out for the publicity.

The trenches between rows are simply flooded.
