What flowers are suitable for raising in Dali
When Cangshan and Erhai outline the outline of the wind, flowers, snow and moon, Dali, the pearl of the plateau, is nurturing thousands of flowers with its unique climate. The pleasant average annual temperature of 15 ° C makes this ancient city a natural flower greenhouse, but which plants can bloom here? Let us follow the walls of Bai folk houses to explore the planting code of plateau gardens. Unique climate advantages The temperature difference between day and night creates a miracle of flowers. The average annual temperature difference between day and night is as high as 15℃, just like a natural flower promoter. The low temperature in the morning mist allows plants to accumulate nutrients, and the warmth under the noon sun accelerates flower bud differentiation. This unique rhythm is especially suitable for the bud formation process of woody flowers such as rhododendrons and camellia. The dry and wet climate rhythm alternates between the dry season (December-May) and the rainy season (June-November) for half a year, forming a natural dormancy and growth cycle. This periodicity just fits the growth needs of most bulbous plants. Tulips and hyacinth store energy during the dry season and grow explosively when the rainy season comes. Garden and indoor plant illustrations outdoor courtyard star list blue jacaranda purple smoke clouds can fill March Street, and bougainvillea climbs colorful clouds among the white walls and green tiles of the ancient city. According to actual measurement, Marguerite chrysanthemum can bloom all year round along the Erhai Lake, and the average summer temperature of as high as 20 ° C allows clematis to avoid the plum rain rot crisis in the Jiangnan area. The preferred solution for indoor green planting, the turtle bamboo will show a metallic luster under strong ultraviolet rays on the plateau, and the spring feather leaves will still remain oily in the dry season. Experiments have proved that when the tiger lily is placed in front of the (L-H) window of a Bai people's house, the markings will change wonderfully with the light and become a living interior decorative painting. The plant code of the city totem, the thousand-year legend of rhododendron, established in 1983, has formed 34 native varieties in Cangshan. Among them, Rhododendron camellia can grow to 10 meters long. In March every year, the entire plant blooms tens of thousands of red flowers. Local people call it a "torch burning in the crown." Gardeners found that the color of Dali rhododendron will show a rare blue-purple gradient in acidic red soil with pH 6.2. The philosophy of life of Daqingshu is the Dianpu (Daqingshu) of the city tree. Its plate-like root system can stabilize the water and soil of Bai villages. Measured data shows that the projected area of the crown of a century-old tree can reach 900㎡, and the temperature is 3-5℃ lower than the surrounding area, which truly interprets the ecological wisdom of "predecessors planting trees and descendants enjoying the shade."
From the Margaret flower field next to Zhoucheng Tie-dyeing Workshop to the century-old rhododendrons in the alleys of Xizhou Ancient Town, this plateau city uses plants to write the aesthetics of survival. When you planted your first purple jade hairpin on your balcony, you may have continued Dali's eight-hundred-year tradition of cultivating flowers. Here, growing flowers is not only gardening, but also a poetic way of dialogue with nature.
