Pomegranate blossoms in May, and the girl falls in love with spring, so she can't help picking one and putting it on her head, and having more children and grandchildren.

Pomegranate is born on the mountain at an altitude of 300- 1000 meters. I like warm and sunny environment, and I am resistant to drought and cold, barren, waterlogging and shade. The requirements for soil are not strict, but it is suitable to cultivate in sandy soil with good drainage.

China: People in China regard pomegranate as a mascot and consider it a symbol of many children and many blessings. The ancients called pomegranate "a thousand rooms are the same piece, and a thousand children are like one." When people get married, they often put the peeled pomegranate with berries exposed on the desk of the new house or handle it by him, and some people give pomegranate to wish them good luck. Common auspicious paintings are Liu Kaibaizi, Sanduo and Huafeng Zhu San, and many children are blessed.

June Lotus Language: Naive, Faithful and Pure

The hibiscus emerges from the water, but it emerges from the mud without being stained. It represents the symbol of religion and philosophy, sacred, pure and beautiful.

According to legend, Lotus is the incarnation of the beautiful maid Yuji around the Queen Mother. At the beginning, Yu Ji saw couples of people, men plowing and women weaving, and was very envious, so she moved her heart and stole out of the Heavenly Palace with the daughter of the river god and came to Hangzhou West Lake. The beautiful scenery of the West Lake made Yuji linger and play in the lake until dawn. When the Queen Mother knew this, she used the Lotus Throne to drive Yusi into the lake and told her to "drive into the mire and never go south again". Since then, a beautiful maid has been lost in the Heavenly Palace, and a beautiful flower has been added to the world.

The classical literary masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions says that Qingwen became a lotus fairy after her death. Jia Baoyu said to Qingwen in the obituary "Daughter of Lotus": "If you talk about quality, it is not worth mentioning; If it is sex, no ice and snow means clean; If it is a god, neither the stars nor the sun can describe its essence; If it is like this, then flowers and months are not enough to describe its color. " Although later redology experts thought that this was only the author's praise of Daiyu's purity in the name of chanting Qingwen, in any case, lotus flowers were always associated with her daughter's purity.

Because "lotus" and "pity" are homonyms, there are many poems about lotus in ancient poetry to express love. For example, "Xizhou Qu" by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus is picked in autumn in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, which are as green as water. " "Lotus seed" means "Reiko Kobayakawa" and "green" means "clear". There are both real and imaginary here, which means pun. The rhetorical device of homophonic pun is used to express a woman's deep yearning for the man she loves and the purity of love. Thirty-five songs in Jin's "Forty-two Midnight Songs": "The fog reveals the lotus, but the lotus is unclear." The dew in the fog hides the true face of the lotus, but the lotus leaf is not very clear. This is also a way of homophonic pun, writing about a woman who vaguely feels that the man loves her.

Since ancient times, there has been a habit in Christianity to associate saints with specific flowers. This is because when the church commemorates the saints, it often decorates the altar with blooming flowers. In medieval Catholic monasteries, flowers were planted like gardening centers. Over time, the church combined 366-day saints with different flowers to form a so-called flower calendar. Most of the monasteries at that time were located in southern Europe, which belonged to the Mediterranean climate and was very suitable for planting flowers and plants. Abelmoschus manihot is a plant belonging to Malvaceae, which is a flower used to worship San Stafano. When he explained to everyone in Palestine that Jesus had been killed, he was stoned to death by Jews.

Later, he told the bishop in a dream that the remains of San Stafano were discovered in 4 15 AD. Therefore, the flower language of hollyhock is "dream". Anyone born on this day is a child who loves to dream. In particular, fantasizing about your love is like the plot of a novel, with climax after climax and wonderful.

I like the warm and humid climate, but I can also resist the cold. Roots can overwinter underground in severe winter. Flowers can withstand slight frost, but higher temperature is needed for seedling growth and bud formation. The optimum growth temperature is about 20℃.

Chrysanthemum has experienced wind and frost and has tenacious vitality. Because Tao Yuanming picked chrysanthemums under the hedge, chrysanthemums got the title of "hidden in flowers". In Japan, chrysanthemum is a symbol of royalty. Chrysanthemums have various colors and different meanings.

Chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity: Chrysanthemum blooms in autumn, so it is a symbol of autumn. People even call September "gathering the moon", because chrysanthemum is homophonic with "syndrome" and "nine" with "long", so chrysanthemum is also used to symbolize longevity or longevity; Moreover, it is more meaningful to pick chrysanthemums at the Double Ninth Festival in the lunar calendar to refine chrysanthemum tea. Some people even soak the chrysanthemums picked on this day in aged rice wine or bathe with chrysanthemums, which all mean "longevity of chrysanthemums on water".

Chrysanthemum and pine trees are painted together, which is called "pine chrysanthemum lives forever", indicating that the person who accepts this painting has a long life.

Camellia in Winter: Ideal Love and Humility

The reddish camellia blooms in the cold wind and drizzle, so there is a family that is clean and cold. I am surprised by the feeling of camellia, which fully expresses the noble elegance.

Camellia belongs to loose and fertile sandy loam, loess or humus, with Gao Shuang topography, good ventilation, warmth and humidity, and good drainage. Ph 5.5-6.5 is the best. The optimum temperature is between 20-32℃. When the temperature is above 29℃, the growth will stop, and when the temperature is 35℃, the leaves will be anxious, which requires a certain temperature difference. The environmental humidity is above 70%, and most varieties can withstand the low temperature of -8℃. Generally, it can naturally overwinter in acidic soil south of Huaihe River, which requires good air permeability.

Camellia, which blooms in winter and spring, is one of the top ten traditional famous flowers in China and one of the world famous flowers. Guo Moruo praised: "A tree of camellia blossoms early, and a hundred clouds are proud." Camellia is a famous woody flower since ancient times, which reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties. When it was introduced to Europe in17th century, it caused a sensation, so it won the reputation of "world famous flower".

It is said that when it is a little cold in late autumn, camellia will always bloom quietly in the yard. When camellia withers, not the whole flower falls, but the petals wither slowly one by one until the end of life. Such a cautious and reluctant way to die is the same as people's attitude of pursuing an ideal partner, so gradually camellia has become an endorsement of women who love them. In the winter when almost all the flowers wither, the red camellia is particularly warm and full of business. Moreover, planting in the garden can also make people appreciate her faint floral fragrance. Therefore, camellia makes people feel lovely, modest, ideal love, cautious and attractive.

The flower language of daffodils in the twelfth lunar month: missing means reunion.

From July to August, the defoliation is dormant, and the flower buds differentiate at the growth point of dormant bulbs, which has the physiological characteristics of autumn and winter growth, early spring flowering and summer dormancy. Narcissus likes light, water and fertilizer, and is suitable for warm and humid climate and fertile sandy soil. It likes cool in the early stage of growth, slightly cold-resistant in the middle stage and warm in the later stage. Therefore, it is required that there is no cold in winter, no heat in summer and rainy in spring and autumn.

Chinese narcissus: all the best, auspicious, beautiful, pure, noble, pure love, women's virtue.

Narcissus is also known as golden lamp and silver platform. As the name suggests, flowers are graceful with green skirts and green belts. Pure flowers are super dusty, elegant and fragrant, especially touching, just like Lingbo fairy stepping on water. Yuan's Miscellaneous Knowledge of Sanliuxuan called narcissus a "yake" in flowers. Narcissus has two sayings: one is "purity". The second is "auspiciousness".

In the west, the free translation of daffodil is "love shadow flower", and the flower language is faithful love, which is extended to the sincerity of introspective love.
