【荷花文化节今日启幕 莲花池罕见“并蒂莲”将免费展出】
Two rare twin lotus flowers have blossomed simultaneously at Beijing’s Lianhuachi Park ahead of the Beijing Lotus Culture Festival, which opens this Friday. The unusual flowers will be placed on public display once they reach full bloom.

近日，丰台区莲花池公园荷花培育基地的盆栽荷花种植区，同期开出两株珍稀并蒂莲。双莲同现极为罕见。目前，两株并蒂莲均处于花苞阶段，正在保护性培育，长势良好。公园计划于下周荷花盛放前夕，将其整体移盆至公园东广场展区，面向广大游客免费展出。
