China's National Flower and the Ten Famous Flowers with Their Blooming Months

When it comes to flowers, the people of our country have always held a special affection for them, because the beauty of flowers can bring us another kind of scenery, and they also carry some special meanings. So do you know what China's national flower is? What are the ten famous flowers of our country respectively? And in which months do they bloom? The details are as follows.

I. What is China's national flower

1. Before clarifying this question, it is necessary for us to know what the so-called national flower is, or what kind of symbolic meaning it has. In fact, the so-called national flower refers to the flower a country uses as its own national symbol, and from this national flower people can also see a country's history, spirit, culture, emotions and so on. So if we ask what China's national flower is, it must be one that can represent our country's spirit of unity and rich national sentiment, and so on.

2. But when returning to this question, we suddenly realize that our country's national flower has still not been finally decided to this day. However, although it has not been finally decided, there are several candidates that we also need to know about. So next, let us learn about which flowers are the candidates for our country's national flower.

(1) Peony

Perhaps before, when it came to what China's national flower is, the vast majority of people would say it is the peony. In fact, to some extent, that is not wrong, because during the Qing Dynasty, the peony was indeed designated as the national flower.

(2) Plum blossom

After the peony was designated as China's national flower, in 1929 there was another national flower, namely the plum blossom. It is understood that the Nationalist Government at that time changed China's national flower from the peony to the plum blossom.

3. And since the above two disputes over the national flower, up to today, our country has still not finally determined which one is the national flower. Although relevant voting actions were carried out in 1982 and 1986, in the end it still could not be determined, and instead there was one more choice for national flower, namely the chrysanthemum.

4. So to this day, only our country still has no finally unanimously recognized national flower, and there are quite a few views about our country's national flower, with 4 main views, namely: one country one flower, one country two flowers, one country four flowers, and one country five flowers.

II. What are the ten famous flowers of our country

China's ten famous flowers are: the leader among flowers——plum blossom, the king of flowers——peony, blooming beautifully in frost——chrysanthemum, lotus in the water——lotus, the queen of flowers——Chinese rose, a riot of blooms——azalea, the delicate guest among flowers——camellia, the flower of gentlemen——orchid, fragrance spread for ten li——osmanthus, the fairy on the waves——narcissus, these ten precious and beautiful local famous flowers.

The plum blossom is known as “the first of China's ten famous flowers”. These ten flowers respectively contain the spiritual and cultural deposits of different levels of China, have deep and rich historical connotations, each stands alone in the floral world, and mark the extraordinary significance of traditional Chinese culture. But among China's 10 traditional famous flowers, China only enjoys the international registration rights for the plum blossom, osmanthus, and lotus.

In which months the ten famous flowers bloom respectively

Plum blossom: flowering period in winter and spring, fruiting period from May to June.

Peony: flowering period in May; fruiting period in June.

Chrysanthemum: flowering period from September to November. Stamens, pistils and fruits are mostly not developed.

Lotus: flowering period from June to September

Chinese rose: flowering period from April to September, fruiting period from June to November.

Azalea: flowering period from April to May, fruiting period from June to August.

Camellia: the flowering period is relatively long, blooming from October to May of the following year, with the peak flowering period usually from January to March.

Orchid: all four seasons, depending on the specific variety.

Osmanthus: flowering period from September to early October, fruiting period in March of the following year.

Narcissus: flowering period from January to February.

Conclusion: As is well known, our country has more than three thousand kinds of flowers, so it can be said that our country's flower world is one where a hundred flowers contend in beauty and nothing is too strange to exist. But what is rather regrettable is that today there is still no final determination of what China's national flower is. However, the editor believes that whether it is the peony, the plum blossom, or other flowers as the national flower, they can all represent our country's long history and cultural atmosphere.
