The Korea Times reports that Seoul Botanic Park is currently hosting a two-month summer exhibition featuring rare and endangered aquatic plants, including water lilies and lotus flowers. The exhibition, set to run through September, can be found in various zones of the park, such as the Thematic Garden, Exhibition Glasshouse, Lake Garden, and the area near the Magok Cultural Center.
The outdoor Thematic Garden showcases temperate water lilies and fragrant lotus blossoms, which are arranged along wooden boats, creating a picturesque landscape that evokes the style of French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Inside the tropical Exhibition Glasshouse, visitors can observe exotic international varieties of aquatic plants with vivid purple, blue, and crimson hues blooming above the water on raised stalks.
A notable highlight of the exhibition is the rare prickly water lily, which is classified as a Class II Endangered Wild Species.
