Also known as the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens,
it is only a short 15-minute drive from Port Louis. These
modest but well kept gardens are a highlight of a visit
to Mauritius. Though there are few flowers inside, one key
attraction is the park's giant Victoria regia water lilies,
native to the Amazon. From the centre of a huge pad, the
lily's flower opens white one day and closes red the next.
