In the season of warm spring and blooming flowers, after a meal, strolling in the courtyard, admiring flowers, absorbing fresh air, makes people feel spiritually delighted. As the ancients said, "Blooming flowers bring fortune and auspiciousness, and the fragrant flowers fill the room." Today, I will recommend ten kinds of prosperous flowers suitable for planting in the courtyard to flower friends with yards.
1. Osmanthus
As the saying goes, "Osmanthus stands at the door, meeting a benefactor when going out, and having good wine when coming in." It can be seen that osmanthus is a very auspicious prosperous flower.
Osmanthus and "noble" have the same pronunciation, taking its sound and expressing its meaning, so many people like to plant an osmanthus tree in front of their courtyard. It can be admired, flowers can be picked to make good wine, cook delicious food, and it has a good meaning.
The osmanthus tree has a graceful shape, golden flowers, and a very strong fragrance. When autumn comes, the flowers are full on the tree, and the fragrance fills the room, which is a beautiful scene. Admiring osmanthus during the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a traditional festival in many places. Under the osmanthus tree, there are fine wines and various snacks, with the family sitting around the table, chatting and enjoying delicious food, which is very pleasant to imagine.
2. Begonia
Begonia flowers are a traditional famous flower in China, with beautiful and grand flowers. They are known as the "Queen of Flowers" and have been a popular courtyard green plant since the Tang and Song dynasties. When in bloom, the whole tree is delicate and flawless, beautiful but not vulgar, graceful and noble, making it an unforgettable sight.
Begonia flowers are adaptable, heat and cold resistant, and can naturally overwinter in temperatures below minus twenty degrees. They like sunlight and grow well in environments with sufficient light, suitable for planting in both the south and north.
3. Peony
Peony flowers are a traditional famous flower in China and have been a favorite "prosperous flower" since ancient times. When in full bloom, the flowers are grand and dignified, with a noble and graceful posture, and are known as the "King of Flowers" and "National Color and Fragrance," symbolizing a prosperous, thriving, and happy life.
The peony flower is the leader among "prosperous flowers" and has been favored by people since ancient times. Many private gardens plant peonies. Moreover, peony flowers have a long lifespan, with some living for two to three hundred years, making them the longest-lived flowers in the floral world.
As the saying goes, "Planting peonies in spring will not bloom until old age." The best season for planting peonies is autumn. If you want to grow peonies in spring, it's best to buy potted ones and not disturb the soil. They can still bloom, but be sure not to buy bare-root peonies in spring.
Peony flowers are very adaptable. Once planted in the ground, they require almost no maintenance and can grow and bloom profusely every year. It should be noted that they need about a month of low-temperature vernalization to bloom. Therefore, in southern regions, it's best not to plant peonies as they cannot reach the low-temperature vernalization and have difficulty blooming.
4. Magnolia
As the saying goes, "When magnolia flowers bloom, wealth is not a worry," it can be seen that magnolia is a very auspicious prosperous flower, favored by people since ancient times. Many wealthy families like to plant magnolias in their own courtyards, especially around pavilions, terraces, and pavilions.
