What does the flower language of凤凰花 (Phoenicis) mean?
The editor will explain the meaning of the flower language of凤凰花 and the legend and symbolism of this flower in terms of horticulture. Detailed content will be shared next.
凤凰花 (Scientific name: Delonix regia), also known as凤凰木, is a tall plant that can reach over 20 meters. It thrives in high temperatures and sunny environments and can only grow vigorously in full sunlight. Distributed in southern and southwestern China, its native origin is in Madagascar and other tropical parts of the world. It is the school flower of Xiamen University.
Phoenix flowers are被誉为 the most colorful trees in the world due to their bright red or orange flowers combined with the bright green pinnate leaves.
I accidentally learned about "Phoenix flowers" from a friend and was surprised by how beautiful such flowers exist.
Why are they called "Phoenix flowers"? My friend told me the origin of the name, the flower language of Phoenix flowers, and the main blooming season, which opened my eyes!
Phoenix flowers are relatively showy, and the petals that fall on the ground form the shape of a phoenix, hence the name.
The flower language of Phoenix flowers is longing and farewell. When Phoenix flowers bloom, it is the season when many people experience departure. Du Fu's poem: "Feeling the times, flowers shed tears; Hating to say goodbye, birds alarm the heart," is very fitting.
Phoenix flowers bloom only twice a year, coinciding with the school opening and graduation seasons, also symbolizing the departure from the old and the embrace of the new.
The first season is from May to July, and the second is in September.
Many literary and artistic figures have described and praised Phoenix flowers as follows:
Southern towns have Phoenix flowers, the cart rolls halfway and then it's all hazy. Climbing high to gaze at the deep valley colors, how much mist and rain, how much green?
People today only say, the ancient South was beautiful. Now, we still enjoy the spring of Phoenix flowers.
Kunshan jade shattered, the Phoenix cries, hibiscus weeps in the dew, orchids laugh.
The Phoenix is reborn in涅槃, the wild chicken is reborn in decay.
Where is the old mirror鸾, the衰桐 does not perch the phoenix. Money is abundant in peacocks, brocade scattered among mountain chickens.
...
Seeing such bright Phoenix flowers for the first time, I am amazed at the wonders of nature and feel ashamed for my ignorance. The unknown world is too vast.
"Witnessing" the blazing Phoenix flowers, the heart is so hot.
The scorching June sun is also the season when Phoenix flowers are in full bloom.
"When the Phoenix flowers bloom, come to see me!"
All things in the world cannot be separated from yin and yang. The fiery Phoenix flowers are both a season of parting and a time for reunion.
"Phoenix flowers bloom in two seasons: one for parting, one for reunion; one for the scattering of relationships, one for the arrival of relationships; relationships come and go, eventually they scatter, flowers bloom and fade, ultimately returning to dust."
Say softly: Although Phoenix flowers are beautiful, never pick or taste them casually to avoid poisoning.
Life is also like this:
The long journey of life is always a mix of joy and sorrow. There is suffering and joy, laughter and tears; there are winding paths full of thorns, and there are wide and flat thoroughfares; there is the pain of failure, and there is the joy of success.
Understanding this, you can "not be pleased by external things, nor saddened by personal feelings," remain calm in the face of praise and blame, and live the rest of your life in peace.
Keep every bit of初心, walk every step steadily, cherish every sincere feeling, experience the happiness in your hands, enjoy the contentment of joy, no matter how time passes, my heart remains steadfast and unmovable as a mountain.
May we all be confident and open-minded,驾驭好 this chariot of life, drive smoothly, and head towards the shore of success!

Xiamen has an ancient and beautiful legend: Long ago, there was no grass or trees, and it was uninhabited. A group of white egrets migrating south stopped here to rest on the shore. The leader of the egrets, upon discovering an abundance of fish and shrimps in the water, adequate food, and no threats from snakes or wild beasts, nor disturbance from hunters, decided to settle on this small island with the group of egrets.
The egrets also started to decorate their home. Some used their beaks and claws to dig, expending great effort to create many springs, from which clear water flowed. Others carried various flower and grass seeds from the mainland and scattered them on the island, making it flourish with flowers and greenery. The beautiful scenery attracted many birds to build nests, and bees and butterflies came to collect pollen, making the island bustling and colorful.
This scene made the snake king lurking under the East Sea extremely jealous. It wanted to seize the beautiful island built by the egrets, so it led the snake demons to stir up storms, turning the island into a scene of sand and stones flying, and the sky turning dark. The egrets fought a fierce battle to defend their home. The leader egret seriously injured the snake king, driving away the snake demons, but it also sustained severe injuries and lay in a pool of blood. Later, on the land where the leader egret shed its blood, a tall tree grew, with leaves that opened like the egret; the flowers it bore were as red as the egret's blood. This tree is called the凤凰木, and the flower is called the 凤凰花.
The above is [] about the meaning of the flower language of Phoenix flowers and the legend and symbolism of this flower in green plants and flowers, hoping to bring help to your life!
