Quite a lot of varieties of flowers, bloom in the home gardens of Alupola. The British planters brought these for their home gardens here. Now these are found all over, as the climate is favorable for their growth in Alupola. Here you see a rose in full bloom.

A view of the Bambarabotuwa valley from the Alupola end. You can see the Wewalwaththe tea factory in the distance. The 'Paandi Oya' after forming the Alupola water-falls, is threading its way along the bottom of the valley.
