What flowers bloom in summer
Today, I will elaborate for netizens on the flowers that bloom in summer and the introduction of green plants and flowers that represent summer, with the following specific content:
Tagore once said, "Life is as brilliant as flowers in summer." In the hot summer, there are still many flowers that choose to compete for beauty and bloom, showcasing their beauty in the heat. So, what flowers bloom in summer? Besides the common lotus, carnation, and jasmine, there are also lilies, epiphyllums, sunflowers, water lilies, orchids, pansies, and platycodon, totaling ten kinds of flowers.
1. Lotus
The lotus, which grows in water, blooms from June to September. In the summer, on the green lotus pond, you can always see lotus flowers standing gracefully on the water, creating the beautiful scene of "Endless green leaves reaching the sky, sunlit lotus flowers with a unique red." Its fruit,莲子 (莲子 means "lotus seeds"), can be eaten and made into delicious lotus seed soup.
2. Carnation
Carnations also bloom in summer, with a general blooming period from May to July. They have green leaves and flowers with a faint fragrance. When Mother's Day in May arrives, it is the time when carnations are in full bloom. Choosing a bouquet of carnations for mom is also an expression of love for her.
3. Jasmine
Jasmine is a flower that most people are familiar with, blooming from May to November. Its flowers are white and have a strong fragrance. As a song goes, "What a beautiful jasmine flower, fragrant and beautiful on the branches." Picking a jasmine flower and giving it to a loved one in the summer is quite romantic.
4. Lily

Additionally, lilies have good medicinal value, used for nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, clearing the heart and spirit, and can also be used as ingredients to make delicious dishes, such as lily and white fungus soup.
5. Epiphyllum
Epiphyllum is the rarest among the flowers that bloom in summer. We often say that epiphyllums bloom in an instant, as their flowers only bloom for about 4 hours and usually bloom quietly at night. If we want to see the extremely rare bloom of epiphyllum, we need to be prepared in the summer months of June to August, observe more, and we might miss the beautiful moment of the epiphyllum blooming if we are not careful.
6. Sunflower
Sunflowers bloom in summer, with golden flowers that look like the bright sun in the sky. Their flowers always face the sun, hence the name "sun-facing flower." Sunflower seeds can be harvested and then dried and roasted, which is the sunflower seeds we often eat.
