DALAT, LAM DONG, VIETNAM - 2012/05/26: Dalat Flower Gardens Gazebo - With its cool mountain climate, Dalat is an excellent place for flowers and plants to thrive. The Dalat Flower Gardens were established in 1966 by the Vietnamese government, and are tended continually. Among the tastefully arranged flora are orchids, roses, fuchsias, hydrangeas, narcissus and ferns. Altogether there are more than 300 species of flowers and plants here, many of which blossom all year round. (Photo by John S Lander/LightRocket via Getty Images)
