Introduction to Spathiphyllum

1. Spathiphyllum is a perennial herb of the Araceae family. The plant is 30 cm-40 cm tall, stemless or with a very short stem; the leaves are oblong or nearly lanceolate, with a distinct midrib and petiole, dark green. It blooms in spring and summer; the spathe is large and conspicuous, rising above the leaves, white or slightly green, and the spadix is cream-yellow. The flowering period is May-August.

It blooms in spring and summer; the scape is upright, rising above the leaf cluster; the spathe is upright, large and conspicuous, slightly curled, white or slightly green; the spadix is cylindrical and cream-yellow. Large type 2. Spathiphyllum is native to tropical America and is widely cultivated around the world. The peace lily is very beautiful when in bloom, and even when not in bloom it is an excellent indoor potted foliage plant. It is a new generation of indoor potted flowers. The peace lily can filter indoor exhaust air and has a certain purifying effect on ammonia, acetone, benzene, and formaldehyde. It can also be used as a cut flower.

Introduction to Rose

1. Rose is a general term for some plants of the genus Rosa, mainly referring to variants and horticultural cultivars of climbing roses. Most are a type of small vine-like flowers that climb fences; they are deciduous shrubs native to China with strong variability. The stem prickles are relatively large and generally hooked, roughly 3 or 4 per node; the leaves are alternate, odd-pinnately compound, with 5-9 leaflets, toothed leaf margins, and flat leaf blades with soft hairs. The flowers are often in clusters of 6-7, forming a paniculate corymb, borne at the tips of the branches, with a flower diameter of about 3 cm, and they bloom only once a year. The rose flower disc surrounds the mouth of the calyx tube, and there are many colors such as white and yellow. After the flowers fade, the sepals will fall off; the fruit is spherical.

2. The main commonly cultivated varieties are: Pink Cluster Rose, with larger flowers, single-petaled, pink or rose-red, many flowers clustered in corymbs; Lotus Rose, with double flowers, pink to peach-red, mostly clustered; Seven Sisters Rose, with double flowers, deep pink, often 7-10 clustered together, fragrant; White Jade Hall, with white flowers, double-petaled, often 7-10 clustered; Japanese Thornless Rose, with white flowers, single-petaled, many flowers per branch, opening in clusters, fragrant; common rose, without distinctive features.

3. The flowering period is generally April-September each year, opening in sequence and lasting up to half a year. Due to global warming caused by the greenhouse effect, roses in some places begin to bloom as early as April, or even March.

Introduction to Rhododendron

1. Rhododendron, also known as Yingshanhong and mountain pomegranate, is an evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub. Legend has it that in ancient times there was a cuckoo bird that cried day and night until it coughed blood, dyeing the flowers all over the mountains red, hence the name. Rhododendrons generally bloom in spring, with 2-6 flowers per cluster; the corolla is funnel-shaped and comes in red, pale red, apricot red, snow blue, white, and other colors, with lush and gorgeous blooms. It grows in open shrubs or under pine forests in mountainous areas at an altitude of 500-1200 (-2500) m, and is a typical acid-soil indicator plant in central-southern and southwestern China.

2. Spring rhododendrons bloom in spring, including (Yingshanhong, Chinese azalea, Maojuan, alpine rhododendron, etc.). Summer rhododendrons are rhododendron varieties that bloom in summer. Most rhododendrons open in these two seasons.

The year-round blooming Western rhododendron is also called Belgian rhododendron or Western rhododendron, but it blooms most profusely in spring and also blooms in other seasons. This rhododendron variety has the greatest variety of flower colors and the most diverse flower shapes among rhododendron varieties.

Introduction to Phalaenopsis

1. The stem of Phalaenopsis is very short, often enclosed by leaf sheaths. The leaves are slightly fleshy, usually 3-4 or more, green on the upper side and purple on the underside, elliptical, oblong, or sickle-shaped oblong, 10-20 cm long and 3-6 cm wide, with an acute or obtuse tip, a cuneate or sometimes oblique base, and a short but broad sheath.

2. The flowering period is generally around the Spring Festival, and the ornamental period can last as long as 2-3 months. After the flowers wither, the faded flowers must be cut off as early as possible, as this can reduce nutrient consumption. If the flower stem is cut 4-5 nodes from the base, it can bloom again after 2-3 months.

Introduction to Baby's Breath

1. Baby's breath, formerly named: Gypsophila paniculata, also known as panicled baby's breath, paniculate gypsophila, gypsophila, panicled chalk plant, baby's breath, is a perennial herb of the Caryophyllaceae family and the genus Gypsophila.

2. It is 30-80 cm tall. The root is thick. The stem is solitary, rarely several clustered, upright, much branched, hairless or with glandular hairs on the lower part. The leaves are lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, 2-5 cm long and 2.5-7 mm wide, with an acuminate tip and a conspicuous midrib. The paniculate cyme is much branched and loose, with small but numerous flowers; the pedicels are slender, 2-6 mm long, hairless; the bracts are triangular, acute; the calyx is broadly campanulate, 1.5-2 mm long, with broad purple veins, and the calyx teeth are ovate, obtuse, white at the margin, membranous; the petals are white or pale red, spoon-shaped, about 3 mm long and about 1 mm wide, with a truncate or obtuse tip; the filaments are flat and linear, nearly as long as the petals, and the anthers are round; the ovary is ovoid, about 1 mm in diameter, and the style is slender. The capsule is spherical, slightly longer than the persistent calyx, and dehiscences by 4 valves; the seeds are small, round, about 1 mm in diameter, red-brown, with neat blunt wart-like protrusions. The flowering period is June-August, and the fruiting period is August-September.

Introduction to Bougainvillea

1. Bougainvillea glabra, also known as Baojin, Bougainvillea, small-leaved bougainvillea, triangular flower, purple triangle, purple yalan, bougainvillea, is a vine-like shrub of the Nyctaginaceae family and the genus Bougainvillea. The stem is thick, the branches droop, hairless or sparsely pubescent; the thorns are axillary, 5-15 mm long. The leaves are papery, ovate or ovate-lanceolate; it prefers a warm and humid climate, is not cold-tolerant, and likes sufficient light.

2. The flowers of bougainvillea are borne within the 3 bracts at the tips of the branches; the pedicel is adnate to the midrib of the bract, and each bract bears one flower; there are 3 bracts, leaf-like, purple or magenta, oblong or elliptical, 2.5-3.5 cm long and about 2 cm wide, papery; the perianth tube is about 2 cm long, pale green, sparsely pubescent, ribbed, with 5 shallow lobes at the tip; stamens 6-8; the style is lateral, linear, with the margin expanded into a thin sheet-like form, and the stigma is pointed; the achene has 5 ribs. The seeds have endosperm. The base of the disc is connate into a ring, and the upper part is lacerate. The flowering period is between winter and spring (Guangzhou, Hainan, Kunming), and when cultivated in greenhouses in the north it blooms from March to July.
