Last week this pot of chrystanthemums appeared near the foreign teacher's accomodation - adjacent to the administration building. Many exotic floral displays end up near this building and we know when there is a big event approaching as the floral display will be much bigger or more exotic than usual.
We have no idea what the special event is this week - but there are Chinese banners all around so we think there is something big on the agenda. It is hard to tell how many plants are in this pot - at least six and maybe more. One of the risks with this sort of floral display is that they need quite a lot of water, and last week the plants were looking very much worse for wear, but we have had heavy rain for a few days so that would have refreshed them, but it is possible that the gardeners also added water to the pot.
