According to the garden staff, the flower sea is designed to maintain the cool and moist environment favored by baby blue eyes. It incorporates a mix of white daisies, lupines, violets, snapdragons, and toadflax, which all bloom during the same period. This combination preserves the harmonious blue theme of the baby blue eyes while creating a rich tapestry of colors and textures.

This initiative is a new experiment by the Chenshan Botanical Garden, aimed at identifying new flower varieties suitable for such displays and exploring innovative planting styles.
