What are the characteristic flowers of Yunnan?

1. Primula: There are more than 300 species produced in China, and Yunnan accounts for more than half of the species in the country.

The high mountains in northwest Yunnan are the birthplace of the "Three Famous Flowers of Yunnan" and the distribution center of primroses.

Primroses, which are generally used as potted flowers in cold greenhouses, should be cultivated in neutral soil.

Not frost tolerant and flowers early.

European primroses used as open flower beds are suitable for growing on shady slopes or semi-shady environments, and prefer well-drained soil rich in humus.

2. Orchid Orchid has a mellow and fragrant fragrance, and is known as "National Fragrance" and "The Best Fragrance in the World".

There are more than 20 species of orchids that are traditionally cultivated in my country, and they are all found in Yunnan.

Especially in Xishuangbanna.

The Chinese have always regarded the orchid as a symbol of nobility and elegance, and together with the "plum blossoms, bamboos, and chrysanthemums", they are collectively known as the "Four Gentlemen".

3. Green velvet: Europeans call it "the world's famous flower".

There are forty-nine species of fungus in the world, with my country being the most abundant, accounting for 38 species, and Yunnan accounting for 17 species.

Green velvet flowers are brightly colored and have high ornamental value. In northwest Yunnan, which is known as the "natural garden", on the high mountains and in the snow-capped mountains and valleys, it is the place where green velvet thrives.

4. Rhododendron: Rhododendron is naturally distributed in the temperate and subtropical zones of the northern hemisphere. There are 800 species in the world, including more than 600 species in my country and nearly 300 species in Yunnan.

Rhododendrons bloom in azaleas, and Yunnan is known as the "birthplace and distribution center of azaleas."

Rhododendrons generally bloom in spring, with 2-6 flowers in each cluster. The corolla is funnel-shaped, with red, light red, apricot red, snow-green, white, etc., and the colors are luxuriant and gorgeous.

5. Yunnan cherry blossoms: Rosaceae, a species unique to Yunnan, are favored for garden cultivation in most areas of the province, and prefer light, deep, fertile and well-drained soil.

The flowers are large, single or double, with 2-6 flowers arranged in corymb racemes; pink to light red, fragrant.

Flowers first and then leaves. The flowering period is March.

Yunnan cherry blossoms are a famous flowering tree species and should be planted alone or in groups as street trees, courtyard trees and landscape trees.
