What flowers have plain-sounding names but bloom more and more beautifully?
Many office ladies or homemakers who grow flowers are willing to find a pot that is easy to care for and at the same time has an auspicious name, such as the common money tree, peace lily, kalanchoe, peace lily, and so on, which are all very popular. However, some flower and plant varieties, although their names are rather unusual, have extremely high ornamental value in every pot. If everyone only cares about wanting a good flower name and ignores them, that would truly be a pity.
Sweet potato flower
Many people do not recognize the sweet potato flower, but if you mention its other alias, most people probably know it, and that is "dahlia," also called Dahlia pinnata, which is a perennial herbaceous plant. Its roots are tuberous and resemble sweet potatoes, its leaves are broad, and after blooming the petals are clearly layered, with colors ranging from elegant pink to intense red, and there are even varieties with gradient colors. When the flowers of the dahlia are fully open, they are truly large and gorgeous.
Landmine flower
The landmine flower gets its name entirely because after its flowers fade it produces black, wrinkled seeds that at a glance look very much like small landmines. After its flowers bloom they are very interesting, shaped like little trumpets, usually mainly red, yellow, and pink, but some petals also have stripes, and this color is usually white and purple. The landmine flower is a flower that grows easily and has almost no pests or diseases; basically, if sown in the same year, it can grow into a patch of scale in the same year.
Gloxinia
Perhaps when everyone first hears the name gloxinia, their mind associates it with a big smokestack emitting exhaust gas, but in fact it is a flower that is petite yet has huge blooms. Its petal texture is as smooth as satin, mostly in vivid red and purple to soft pink and white, and at the same time its flower shape is like a blooming peony, grand yet still delicate and gorgeous, and it is also a flower that requires diligence and has a long flowering period. In flower markets it is often grown as a small potted plant.
Columbine
Whenever a name contains the word "vegetable," people cannot help but think it is some kind of vegetable. In fact, columbine is a perennial flower variety, and in recent years it has also become a darling of flower enthusiasts because of its excellent ornamental value. Its corolla is funnel-shaped, mostly in elegant blue-purple or pure white tones, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. In addition, it is also a miraculous medicine for treating bruises, external bleeding, and so on.
