Over 10,000 square meters of verbena have burst into full bloom at the foot of Jianglang Mountain in Jiangshan, Quzhou, crafting a scene of unparalleled romance.

The expansive purple flower fields, framed by the majestic Jianglang Mountain and quaint villages, paint a truly breathtaking and enchanting pastoral picture.

As the sun dips below the horizon each evening, its rays cast a reddish hue over the purple verbena, transforming the landscape into a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere. Walking among the flowers gives visitors the feeling of strolling through a living painting.

Originally hailing from South America and other regions, verbena is a highly ornamental plant. Its purple flowers, which bear a striking resemblance to lavender, were known as "Venus's herb" in ancient Rome.

Throughout history, it has been cherished and passed down through generations as a symbol of love and a key ingredient in love potions.
