Move over, cherry blossoms—there’s a new fluffy star in town! Thousands of broomsedge shrubs in Shanghai’s gardens are stealing the spotlight with their whimsical transformation from green to fiery red, resembling adorable 'knitting wool balls' straight out of a crafting fantasy.
Standing under 1 meter tall, these round, plush-like plants have become the latest 'internet celebrity' in the botanical world, drawing crowds eager to snap pastel-perfect photos. Their seasonal glow-up has turned parks into Insta-worthy wonderlands, blending nature’s artistry with viral charm.
Why the hype? \"They’re cute, compact, and look like something from a Studio Ghibli film!\" laughed one visitor. Local horticulturists say the broomsedge’s brief but vibrant peak-viewing period—now in full swing—is a must-see for travelers and city explorers alike.
