A cozy life is just growing flowers, drinking tea, and reading books. This kind of life is probably what many people want. If you can grow a few kinds of fragrant potted flowers, being woken up by the floral scent every day, what a wonderful thing that would be. When it comes to flowers with a rather rich fragrance, there are 3 classic kinds below that everyone loves to grow. That is because their fragrance is strong yet not cloying, and smells very pleasant.
The first kind recommended is Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata' (golden-edged winter daphne), because it starts blooming when the plant is still very small, making it very suitable for indoor placement. With its pure blossoms and rich fragrance, it is a top choice among potted flowers; besides being ornamental, its roots can be used medicinally. Its flowering period is long: the buds form, turning from green to purplish red, and open one tube after another from the outside inward, a lush display of blooms, with a flowering period of more than two months. More and more people are growing golden-edged winter daphne, and it has become a new fashion.
The second kind is Michelia figo (banana shrub). Just hearing the name, what people most often think of is "half a step with a smile". The reason it is called hanxiao (hidden smile) is that its flowers do not open in a fully bloomed way, but have a somewhat half-smiling look. Because the banana shrub's fragrance is not only rich but not cloying, many flower lovers feel its scent is very much like apples and bananas, and it also has many medicinal values, so recently many flower lovers have taken to growing a few of them at home.
The third kind is Aglaia odorata (Chinese perfume plant). Though it looks plain, its fragrance is 10 times stronger than that of osmanthus. It not only purifies the air, but can also absorb harmful gases, and at the same time gives off volatile oils with a bactericidal effect, which is good for human health. Its leaves are dense and evergreen through all four seasons; the flowers are as tiny as grains of rice, yet their fragrance fills the nose and refreshes the heart, and the flowering period is long, with several blooms possible within a year, making it an excellent household potted plant.
Today's society moves too fast, and the living environment is too seriously polluted. Urban life offers very little contact with purely natural plants, so growing a pot of flowers at home is not only good for purifying the air, but also a rather good choice. Flower lovers who like fragrant potted plants, what other good-smelling potted flowers have you grown?
