Wood sorrels are presented in an idyllic pastoral landscape with a bridge, waterwheel, colorful paint buckets and animated sculptures.
There are about 800 varieties of wood sorrel in the world and are popular among gardeners in the city, some of whom create hybrids of the plants, according to officials at the botanical garden.
The bonsai exhibition runs through the three-day New Year's holiday, and the wood sorrel exhibit runs through mid-January.
