Victoria Amazonica opened in Utrecht!

Yesterday evening in the botanical garden of Utrecht the beautiful flower Victoria Amazonica opened itself.

In the Netherlands there are only three of this kind of flowers species in botanical gardens, next to Utrecht in the famous botanical gardens of Amsterdam and Leiden.

Hundreths of peope went to the botanical garden of Utrecht to watch this spectacle. The plant is only flowering two nights. At day the flower is closing itself again.

First the color is white, and then changes into pink and deep purple.

The plant is only flowering one time every few years.
