过去老北京有这样的俗谚：崇效寺的牡丹，花之寺的海棠，天宁寺的芍药，法源寺的丁香。意思是说，开春赏花，不能不去这四座古老的寺庙，如今，这京城的四大礼佛赏花之地，仅存法源寺的丁香了。

法源寺有着"繁花之寺"的美誉，寺里前庭后院都种植了丁香，尤以大雄宝殿与悯忠阁之间所种丁香为最，除了紫丁香和白丁香，还有南洋马鲁古所生的洋丁香，其花为十字四瓣，淡紫、洁白，由内而外，边缘颜色渐深。丁香盛开时，白的如雪，紫的似霞，纤巧灵秀的花瓣团团簇簇，层层叠叠，满院生机，弥散幽香，伴着钟磬佛乐，更显古寺幽远严深。

法源寺位于北京宣武门外教子胡同南端东侧，建于唐太宗贞观十九年(公元645年)，是北京最古老的名刹，唐时为悯忠寺，清雍正时重修并改为今名。
