When does osmanthus bloom?
Core introduction of this article: A simple introduction to the blooming time of osmanthus and the flowering period of green plants and flowers, with specific contents as follows:
There has always been the saying in folk that "osmanthus blooms in August." In previous years, osmanthus generally bloomed in the eighth lunar month (around the Mid-Autumn Festival). This year, in the season when osmanthus should be fragrant, citizens did not see the osmanthus bloom or smell its fragrance. Now, when osmanthus is in full bloom, it is already the late October (the mid-ninth lunar month). Why is the osmanthus late in blooming this year? This is the reason that many "osmanthus fans" want to know.
"The main reason for the late blooming of osmanthus this year is still the weather. The optimal blooming temperature for osmanthus is about 20 degrees Celsius, but the temperature around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year was high, all above 30 degrees Celsius, and there was less rainfall, which led to the late blooming of osmanthus." Professor Wu Zhengsi from the provincial botanical garden introduced that although osmanthus is late, it will not be absent.
"Many citizens inquired around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year why they didn't see osmanthus blooming in the osmanthus garden. Now, I am happy to tell everyone that osmanthus is blooming in full swing, and everyone is welcome to admire the flowers." A staff member of the provincial botanical garden told the reporter that the osmanthus in the garden is concentrated by the cherry blossom lake. "The osmanthus garden covers an area of 45 mu, and most of the osmanthus trees are nearly 30 years old, with four populations:丹桂 (dan gui), 金桂 (jin gui), 银桂 (yin gui), and 四季桂 (si ji gui). Currently, dan gui and jin gui have entered the observation period."
It is understood that the best observation period for osmanthus is generally about 10-20 days. Now that the temperature in Changsha is relatively low, will this shorten the observation period of osmanthus? "If it's just the temperature dropping, the already blooming osmanthus will have a slightly longer flowering period due to the decrease in temperature," Professor Wu explained. "As long as there is no strong wind and heavy rain, the impact on the observation period of osmanthus will not be too great."
