Traditional Culture in Daylily

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day. Many children choose to send a bunch of flowers to express their love and blessings, such as carnations, in addition to giving their mother a hug on that day. But do you know what kind of flowers really represent their mothers? The more beautiful the flowers, the shorter the life. The flower pattern of Camptotheca acuminata is very similar to that of lily. Its English name is daylily, just a kind of lily that only blooms for one day. This fleeting beauty often makes people sigh.

The reversal of the plot is always expected, so "hope" really appeared! There are many aliases for Guancao, such as Jin Baihe, Daylily, Yinan Grass, Worry-Free Girl, and Deer Arrow. Hemerocallis fulva is a perennial herb flower, an ornamental ground cover plant and a native plant in China. There are 65,438+04 species of Eupatorium in the world, and 65,438+065,438+0 species are native to China. Therefore, China has become the country with the most species and the widest distribution in the world, and is the natural distribution center of HEMEROCALLIS HEMEROCALLIS germplasm in the world.

Hemerocallis like to live in groups and grow spontaneously. Usually, a cluster of day lilies will have multiple flower buds. Therefore, as long as it comes naturally, many flowers will grow, and the buds on it will bloom like queues, just like a group of models walking on the runway, calm and confident, and every beautiful flower will have a chance to show itself. The overall flowering period of natural daylily is prolonged, and the beauty can certainly last longer.

However, the fly in the ointment is that a single flower can only bloom for one day, but the advantage of "long flowering period" has perfectly improved its position in the landscape industry. Some varieties can bloom for 2 13 months or even half a year, which makes everyone overjoyed.

"Golden Baby" Hemerocallis Hemerocallis Hemerocallis, echoing and co-planting with Beijing roses, is a classic long-flowering variety, and gardens and green spaces can't help loving it. Anyone who sees such a good tube flower is drooling and can't wait to hold it in his arms at once.

Tell you a secret. Hemerocallis are from China. It was not until 300 years ago that this kind of grass spread from China and Northeast Asia to Europe via the Silk Road, and then from Europe to the United States in the17th century. Since then, China's state-owned grass resources have gone abroad and entered the world. As the mother of world gardens, China has made great contributions to the development of world gardens. Of course, grass resources also play an important role as much as possible and are active on the world stage.

Grass has been cultivated in China for thousands of years. The earliest written record in history can be found in The Book of Songs Feng Wei Bo Xi. The warm grass here is day lilies. Later, some poems, paintings and calligraphy works spread all over the world showed that Cao Ying became the spokesman of China's ancient mother flowers.

In ancient times, if a wanderer wanted to go out for a long trip, he would plant day lilies in front of the Beitang where his mother lived, hoping to alleviate his mother's yearning for his children and forget his worries. Meng Jiao's Wanderer in the Tang Dynasty wrote, "Grass grows in the classroom, and wanderers travel all over the world. Kindly lean on the door of the hall and see no flowers. " Wang Mian in the Yuan Dynasty said in My Book, "It's sunny today, and there are day lilies in front of the hall. Holding a cup is my mother's birthday, and there is nothing moving. " "camp as a substitute for mother" clearly expresses the profound meaning of HEMEROCALLIS HEMEROCALLIS as a mother flower. Therefore, long before maternal love became the language and meaning of carnations, China already had the mother flower of day lily.

As one of the three major perennial flowers in the world, HEMEROCALLIS HEMEROCALLIS has high ornamental value, strong adaptability, cold tolerance and drought tolerance, and simple cultivation. Can be widely planted in different garden environments for greening and beautifying. Chinese mother's love is also deep and inclusive. She always pays for her children silently, asking for nothing in return, and is extremely resilient. It can be seen that the excellent characteristics of grass industry management are undoubtedly consistent with the advantages of Chinese mothers, not for harvest, but for cultivation, which appropriately reflects the excellent traditional culture of China.
