It has high ornamental value and is a common subject in literary creation. Every year from March to June, various places hold different peach blossom festivals centered on the peach blossom.

2. Lotus: also known as the lotus flower, water hibiscus and so on. It originated in the tropical and temperate regions of Asia, and China had records of its cultivation as early as the Zhou Dynasty. It is one of China's top ten famous flowers, and has the noble character of “being open inside and straight outside, neither spreading nor branching, emerging from the mud unstained, and bathed in clear ripples without being flirtatious”. It has always been one of the subjects celebrated and painted by poets and scholars through the ages.

3. Plum blossom: native to southern China. It ranks first among China's top ten famous flowers, and together with the orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum it is listed among the Four Gentlemen, and together with the pine and bamboo it is known as one of the “Three Friends of Winter”. In traditional Chinese culture, the plum, through its noble, strong and modest character, inspires people to resolve to strive forward. In the severe cold, the plum blooms before all other flowers, bringing spring to the world alone.
