For netizens to elaborate on the relevant experience of planting these 10 beautiful flowers, the editor will answer your questions in detail next
Yesterday I saw everyone chatting in the flower friends group, and they were talking about a very interesting topic, which is that one wants to grow flowers and the other wants to plant vegetables, and they are fighting for territory.
Nowadays, whether in cities or rural areas, there is not much land left. In the city, there are limited balconies, terraces, and spaces, and even in the countryside, there is not much land available for planting vegetables and flowers. Due to the differences in the thinking of the young and the old, it is easy to have conflicts between planting vegetables and flowers. Mothers think that growing flowers wastes land and can't be eaten, while those who like flowers say that planting vegetables is too ugly. So, what should we do?
Actually, why should we argue? Just grow these flowers. They are beautiful and edible. Check the prices in the supermarket, they are not cheap. Planting these flowers, your mom definitely won't object anymore.

I bet you're not unfamiliar with honeysuckle. Honeysuckle tea is very famous and is commonly used as a heat-clearing Chinese medicinal herb. Honeysuckle tea has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying and is one of the flower teas often consumed for summer heat reduction and fire reduction.
Honeysuckle planting is very simple. If planted in the ground, it can grow very large. Honeysuckle will climb vines, and planting one near the fence not only has a strong fragrance when flowering but can also be picked to make tea.
