What flowers are commonly seen by the roadside in early summer?

Today let's take a look together at 6common flowers of May, and appreciate their beauty.

Chinese Peony (Paeonia lactiflora)

The Chinese peony has huge blooms, with petals layered like velvet; the pink ones are charming, the red ones are vivid, and the white ones are elegant. It is known as the "Flower God of May."

Care tips: Plant in a sunny spot with good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots and rot; apply plenty of organic fertilizer during the winter dormant period, and after spring sprouting apply additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering; prune spent flowers promptly after blooming to reduce nutrient consumption.

Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.)

Bougainvillea bracts are brilliantly colored, in rose red, purple, white and more, clustered in groups and shaped like triangles, with an extremely long blooming period.

Care tips: Drought-tolerant and prone to waterlogging, water thoroughly only when the soil is dry; in high temperatures, control water moderately to promote flower bud differentiation; loves strong light, needing at least 6hours of direct sunlight per day; apply a compound fertilizer once a month, and add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before blooming.

Rose (Rosa multiflora)

Rose flowers are small and clustered, in mixed pink and white, and when a breeze passes, a sweet fragrance fills the air.

Care tips: Set up a trellis and train the plant to climb; regularly prune dead and crossing branches, and lightly prune spent flowers after blooming; apply slow-release fertilizer in spring and autumn, and apply light fertilizer frequently in summer; keep good ventilation to prevent powdery mildew.

Iris (Iris spp.)

Iris flowers are shaped like butterflies or kites; blue-purple ones are mysterious, and white-yellow ones are fresh.

Care tips: For ground planting, choose moist soil with good drainage; for container planting, use loose, nutrient-rich soil; prefers partial shade, so provide some shade in summer; apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season, and reduce watering in winter.

Chinese Rose (Rosa chinensis)

Chinese rose flowers are elegant in form with a wide range of colors and bloom in all four seasons, truly worthy of the name "Queen of Flowers."

Care tips: Prune frequently; after blooming, cut off spent flowers and the 2-3leaves below the flower; spray a fungicide once a week to prevent black spot disease; apply light fertilizer frequently, using Peters Professional 1during the growing season, and switch to Peters Professional 2during the blooming period.

Tung Tree (Vernicia fordii)

The tung tree is covered in white blossoms that fall like snow, with pure white petals and golden stamens.

Care tips: Suitable for ground planting in courtyards; choose a spot with deep soil and good drainage; young seedlings need shade, while mature trees prefer sunlight; apply compound fertilizer 2-3times during the growing season; no special care is needed in winter.
