Chapter 420 Rhododendron, Peony

Zhang Taiping dug up the soil, and Ye Ling sown the seeds according to the distance and method Zhang Taiping said. While sowing, Zhang Taiping introduced the names of each seeds to Ye Ling.

"Master, what kind of flower is this?" Ye Ling picked up another seed and asked.

Zhang Taiping glanced back and said, "This is azalea."

"What does azalea look like?" Ye Ling may have heard of azalea but has never seen it.

The simple question stumped Zhang Taiping. He had seen azaleas and was familiar with them, but he didn't know how to describe its appearance clearly: "This, the master really can't explain clearly. I will go back at noon to

Just look up the pictures online and you’ll know.”

Rhododendron is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Among all ornamental flowers and trees, it is said to have beautiful flowers and leaves, is suitable for both ground planting and potted planting, and has the most versatile uses.

Bai Juyi praised: "I broke off two branches and held them in my hand. If you look closely, they don't look like they exist in the world. The thing in the flower is Xishi, and the rhododendrons, rhododendrons and peonies are all from Azalea." In the natural distribution of azaleas in the world, there are many types and a huge number.

There is no one that can compete with the Chinese azalea. China is the treasure house of the world's azalea resources! It is also the world distribution center of the genus Rhododendron. Today, there are as many cities in Jiangxi, Anhui, and Guizhou where azalea is the provincial flower and the city flower.

Seven or eight.

There are many species of Rhododendron, and the species commonly cultivated in China include: Azalea, Summer Azalea, Western Azalea, Eastern Azalea, Spring Azalea, Azalea, Azalea, Horse Silver Flower, Clouded Azalea, etc.

However, the growth habits of rhododendrons vary greatly. Most species are grown in high-altitude areas, prefer cool, humid climates, and hate hot and dry conditions. Some species and horticultural varieties are highly adaptable and drought-tolerant, but will not survive in areas with heavy stickiness or poor permeability.

On the soil, the growth is poor.

Rhododendrons have certain requirements for light, but they are not tolerant of exposure. In summer and autumn, deciduous trees or shade sheds should be used to block the scorching sun, and the ground should be sprayed with water frequently. Planting azaleas and peach trees on Peach Blossom Mountain can block the strong sunlight for the azaleas. As for watering

There is no need to worry about the problem. There is also a gourd in the space that can store unlimited amounts of water.

Rhododendron shoots usually occur in spring and autumn, with spring shoots being the main ones. It is most suitable to grow at the transition between spring and summer. There is a short dormancy period in winter. Later, as the temperature rises, the flower buds gradually expand. Generally, they bloom in the open field from March to May.

In high-altitude areas, it blooms as late as July to August. In the north, it is cultivated in greenhouses and can bloom in January to February.

Moreover, it is resistant to pruning, and its hidden buds can easily germinate after being stimulated, which can be used to control the shape of the tree and rejuvenate the tree body. It can be regarded as a very good landscape flower, suitable both indoors and outdoors.

When I was buying the seeds, my boss told Zhang Taiping that they were azaleas, a very common but good variety of azaleas. They were named because their flowers reflected all over the mountain in red. As for whether it was true or false, they planted it.

You won’t know until you come out and see the flowers bloom.

Azalea is known as the "King of Woody Flowers". Literati at home and abroad in ancient and modern times have written many beautiful poems praising azalea, such as a poem by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty: "Why visit the famous garden to see the spring breeze? The mountain flowers along the way will not let you down. Every day the Jinjiang River appears."

Like brocade, the clear stream reflects the azalea." It praises the simplicity and tenacious vitality of azalea.

Plant a rhododendron in each of the four corners around the wooden house. When the time comes, it will grow into a big bead and bloom every year.

"What kind of seed is this?" Ye Ling continued to ask.

"Peony flowers."

"Oh, it's the national flower. I've seen this before," Ye Ling said.

Peony is a perennial flower with slow growth and small plant size. It is a rare woody flower unique to my country. It is known as the "national beauty and heavenly fragrance" and the "king of flowers". It has long been regarded as a symbol of wealth, good luck and prosperity. symbol.

Zhang Taiping knew a lot about peonies and cuckoos. When he got interested, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Do you know where the peonies are the most famous?"

Ye Ling's knowledge of peonies was limited to knowing its name and having seen the flowers a few times. Naturally, he didn't know where the peonies were the most famous, nor did he know what varieties of peonies there were. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Then he looked at Zhang Taiping with big eyes and waited for him to explain.

Zhang Taiping cleared his throat and said: "Luoyang peonies and Heze peonies are the most famous. And there are many related legends about the peonies in Luoyang." Before he could continue, he saw Zhang Xiaoqing walking up.

"What kind of legends are there? I'll listen to them too." Zhang Xiaoqing asked.

Zhang Taiping did not say this to reporters, but asked with a smile: "Why did you run up here instead of taking pictures below?"

"Oh, look at my memory." Zhang Xiaoqing patted his forehead and said, "The groom and the bride below want to take two photos while riding on the horse. They have almost taken the photos below, and they said that there are fish in the pond.

Only Brother Zhang can summon a big turtle. If you have nothing to do down there, just help them come up and send a message."

"Horse riding, it's a small thing, but if you want two people to ride together, it's impossible." Zhang Taiping said, taking out his phone and calling Fan Ming below to ask her to help with this matter. That's it.

Then he asked Zhang Xiaoqing, "Do you want to take a photo of the turtle now or wait a while?"

"Wait a while." Zhang Xiaoqing said, "Brother Zhang continued with the flowers and told the story of peonies." After finishing speaking, he and Ye Ling sat side by side opposite Zhang Taiping.

"That's fine." Zhang Taiping continued.

Luoyang peony is rooted in the land of Heluo. It began in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and became the best in the world in the Song Dynasty.

Legend has it that on the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Tianshou, there was heavy snowfall in Chang'an, Xijing. Wu Zetian drank wine and composed poems, and took advantage of the excitement to write an imperial edict: "In the Ming Dynasty, I went to Shangyuan to announce the spring as soon as possible. The flowers will bloom all night long. Don't wait for the morning wind to blow."

Hundreds of flowers were frightened by this fate and bloomed all night long. Only the peony did not violate the season and closed its stamens. Wu Zetian was so angry that he demoted Peony out of Chang'an, sent her to Luoyang, and burned her at the stake. Peony suffered this disaster, her body was like charcoal, but her roots were burned.

The branches did not scatter, and they remained standing in the severe cold. When the spring breeze blew strongly the next year, the flowers bloomed even more beautifully, and they were known as the "burnt bone peonies." Luoyang peonies became famous all over the world and were called the "flower" chief.

Viewing peonies has become increasingly popular. Miss Peony surpasses Wu Zetian with its unique grace and elegance. In traditional Chinese consciousness, it is regarded as the King of Flowers and proudly strives to be the world's No. 1 symbol.

It is also said that Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, once watched peonies with Concubine Yang Guifei by the Agarwood Pavilion in the back garden. To remember the beautiful scenery in front of him, he called Li Bai to compose a poem. At this time, the poet was drunk and was still half asleep, writing "Qingping"

"Tune" three poems: Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of faces, the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick. If we hadn't seen it on the top of a group of jade mountains, we would have seen it under the moon on Yaotai.

A branch of red dew condenses with fragrance, and the clouds and rain in Wushan are in vain. May I ask who in the Han Palace is like it? The poor flying swallow leans on the new makeup.

Famous flowers are all over the country, and the two are happy together, and the king looks at them with a smile. It explains the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, and the agarwood pavilion leans against the railing in the north.

The imperial concubines of Xuanzong were overjoyed and praised them, and immediately asked Li Guinian to compose a piece of music for the opera singers to sing. The beautiful scenery is a joy to enjoy at a good time, and only the peonies are in season. The poets Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty recorded this in their poems: "Only peonies are the true national beauty."

, the capital is moved when the flowers bloom." "The flowers bloom and fall for twenty days, and everyone in the city is crazy."

"Then who said, 'Death under the peonies, it's also romantic to be a ghost'?" Zhang Xiaoqing asked with a smile*.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and replied: "The source of this sentence is Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion". The story describes that Du Liniang dreamed of a scholar holding a willow branch and asking her to write a poem, and was later carried to the Peony Pavilion by the scholar.

It became the joy of clouds and rain. Later it gradually evolved into this sentence, which was not said by a specific person."

"That's right." Zhang Xiaoqing nodded.

Zhang Taiping looked at her and smiled and said: "Of course there is another saying, which is from mythology. It is said that Lv Dongbin, the real person of Chunyang, the first of the Eight Immortals, was knocked down from the mortal world for molesting the Peony Fairy. This sentence is when he was beaten

He said it when he was knocked down to earth."

"What kind of peony is this?" Zhang Xiaoqing asked again.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "The seed seller said it was Jingyu, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

Peony flowers come in many colors, including pink, red, white, etc. Pink is most famous for pink, while white is more famous for jade. So from this point of view, the credibility of the seed seller's words is very low. But Zhang Taiping didn't ask for anything.

It is a precious variety, as long as it can decorate the environment around the wooden house and not look so monotonous.

ps: Please give me flowers, please give me flowers! I don’t want to be fucked!
