What flowers symbolize love? An old gardener tells you the answer

Whenever love is mentioned, people can't help but think of the vows of eternal devotion between couples, or the sweet intimacy between lovers. Of course, there are also the passionate, romantic roses and the warm, sweet chocolate. However, perhaps you don't yet know that some flowers can also represent beautiful love. What exactly are they? Next, the old gardener editor will introduce them to you in detail.

First, the balloon flower

The balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorus) is a perennial herbaceous plant. It also has many vivid names, such as monk's hat flower, bellflower, and six-angle lotus, among others. The balloon flower is a flower variety unique to our country, and it can be seen all over the country. The balloon flower has a relatively large plant form and can grow up to about one meter at its tallest. Its leaves are fresh and green, and its flowers are large, with a light purple color, looking quiet and elegant, with a unique charm. In addition, the balloon flower also has a beautiful flower language: it symbolizes eternal and unchanging love. The balloon flower is naturally fond of light, and it also likes a moist and warm growing environment. However, the balloon flower is not tolerant of shaded environments. If it is kept in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, it will affect its normal growth. In addition, the balloon flower also likes fertile, moist, loose soil with good drainage, while those heavy clay soils are not conducive to the growth of the balloon flower.

Second, the white rose

The white rose is a shrub plant in the Rosaceae family. It is also a plant variety unique to our country, and it has a cultivation history of thousands of years in our country. The white rose has an elegant and unique plant form, with dark green and glossy leaves. Its flowers in particular are shaped like jade plates and are pure white in color, looking fresh and elegant, full of a holy sentiment. In terms of flower language, the white rose symbolizes purity, nobility, innocence, and pure love. Usually, the white rose prefers a growing environment with ample sunlight and a cool, dry climate. It also has a certain cold resistance and drought resistance. The most suitable growing temperature for the white rose is 15-25 degrees. In addition, the white rose is not strict about soil requirements. As long as it is fertile neutral or slightly acidic soil, it can keep the white rose growing well.

Third, lavender

Lavender is a type of small shrub plant variety. Its main places of origin are the Atlantic islands and the Mediterranean region. Although it is also planted within our country, there are only two types of lavender here. The lavender plant is sturdy, with green leaves, and its flower type is spike-shaped, with a deep purple color, looking full of warmth and romance. Lavender has relatively strict requirements for its growing environment. It is more suitable for growing in a climate with warm winters and cool summers. The most suitable growing temperature for lavender is 26-32°C, and it has a certain cold resistance. According to experiments, lavender can endure low temperatures of -5 to -8°C. When it enters dormancy in winter, its underground parts can even endure low temperatures of -20°C.

Fourth, hyacinth

Hyacinth is also called colorful narcissus, or Dutch hyacinth. It is a perennial herbaceous bulbous plant, native to the coastal areas of the Mediterranean, as well as the region of Asia Minor. According to scientific research, hyacinth is one of the most fragrant flower varieties in the plant kingdom. In addition, the flower colors of hyacinth are also very rich, including red, pink, yellow, purple, orange, and so on. It is a flower type deeply loved by people. Hyacinth is naturally fond of sunlight and has a certain cold resistance. It is very suitable for growing in a cool, moist environment and in loose, fertile sandy soil. However, hyacinth is relatively afraid of waterlogging, so during the cultivation process, we must control the appropriate amount of water.
