Plants that bloom before growing leaves
Here is a sharing of common knowledge about flower cultivation, focusing on plants that bloom before growing leaves. The introduction is as follows:
There are many plants that bloom before growing leaves, and some are quite common. Generally speaking, for plants that bloom in spring, their leaves and floral parts have already grown and are enclosed in buds during the previous autumn. When spring comes the following year, as the temperature gradually rises, the cells of each part quickly divide and grow, causing the flowers and leaves to unfold and appear outside the buds, creating the phenomenon of blooming and leafing.
Plants that grow leaves before blooming require a lower temperature for leaf bud growth, which is already satisfied by the early spring temperature. Therefore, they produce leaves. Conversely, plants that bloom before growing leaves are different. Their flower buds require a lower temperature for growth, while their leaf buds need a higher temperature. After the flower buds grow and bloom, the leaf buds are still dormant, waiting for the temperature to rise further before growing leaves.
It can be seen that whether a plant blooms first or grows leaves first is mainly determined by the different requirements of flower buds or leaf buds for growth temperature.
Flowers like plum blossoms, forsythia,蜡梅 (wax plum), and magnolia all bloom before growing leaves. The reason for this phenomenon is that their flower bud differentiation occurs in the previous summer, after which the flower buds enter dormancy and can bloom in the second spring. At the same time, since these flowering trees require a lower temperature for flower bud growth than for leaf bud growth, when the temperature is relatively low in early spring, the flower buds grow and bloom first, and the leaf buds only begin to germinate and unfold when the temperature rises, thus forming the phenomenon of flowers before leaves. If the temperature requirements for leaf and flower bud growth are similar, the phenomenon of simultaneous flowering and leafing occurs.
Here are some plants that bloom before growing leaves:
Magnolia, cottonwood, plum, elm, magnolia, Paulownia, catalpa, Chinese yam,蜡梅 (wax plum), sea buckthorn, soapwort, mountain peach, wisteria,紫荆 (red bud), Hypericum, Kerria, forsythia, hazel, white poplar, golden bell, plum, apricot, peach, mountain peach, Ulmus pumila, cherry, early greengage, Lycoris, leading orchid, cherry blossom, big fruit elm, black elm, peach, Eucommia, osmanthus, maple,蜡瓣花 (wax wing), etc.
