We had been on a tour to Srilanka, a couple of months back. I had written some posts about the place here (link). We had visited the famous Royal Botanical garden at Peradeniya, near Kandy. It is quite huge and has got some rare trees, flowers and plants. I was fascinated by the huge roots of some trees and thought my friends might be interested to see them too!
Wike says this about the garden:
The origins of the Botanic Gardens date as far back as 1371 when King Wickramabahu III ascended the throne and kept court at Peradeniya near Mahaweli river. This was followed by King Kirti Sri and King Rajadhi Rajasinghe.
