Due to its unique geographical climate, Yunnan has blooming flowers all year round, and the variety of flowers is very abundant. If you walk on the rural roads, you can see blooming flowers everywhere, some with names and some without. You might also see a tree that has shed all its leaves, yet vines twining around the branches are blooming with white or yellow flowers. Let's talk about the most representative flowers in Yunnan today, starting with the eight famous flowers of Yunnan! (All images in the article are from internet searches)
Camellia, Yunnan camellias are famous in the world for their large and colorful flowers, and are known as 'the best camellias in the world'. There are more than 130 varieties of camellias in Yunnan, which bloom on various mountains in winter and spring, creating a beautiful and spectacular scene with red, pink, and white flowers. People in Yunnan especially love camellias, and it is common to see several camellias planted in rural households. Many people even climb mountains in winter to see wild camellias, showing the Yunnan people's fondness for them.
Azalea, Yunnan is known as the 'home of azaleas' by botanists. There are more than 800 species of azaleas in the world, with over 600 in China and 400 in Yunnan. Luquan Malutang has more than 2,600 acres of wild azaleas, and every year when the azaleas are in bloom, many tourists and photographers come to admire the flowers.

Orchid, we have a variety of orchids in Yunnan, and our region is an ideal place for the growth and reproduction of the orchid family. Especially in Wenshan and Xishuangbanna, there are many orchid species, making the orchid resources very rich, with orchids blooming in each season.
Magnolia, magnolias are especially loved in rural schools in Yunnan, both white and pink ones look particularly beautiful. My junior high school planted many magnolias, and there were several planted near the dishwashing area in the cafeteria. After eating, the magnolia petals would fall, sometimes on the ground, sometimes in the sink, and sometimes on people. When a gentle breeze blows, you can reach out to catch a few petals and take them back to class to press into books. There were even more on the hillside next to the classroom, which was not allowed to be climbed, but they could also be admired from the classroom window, adding to the scenery of the campus.
Gentiana, gentiana has leaves like Solanum nigrum and a taste similar to that of a bitter gall, earning it the nickname 'autumn cold blue fairy'. However, most people see it as a flower worth appreciating, and whether it is bitter or not is not important. According to research, the seeds of this blue fairy flower were introduced to the Royal Botanic Garden in the UK and quickly became famous, becoming a high-value ornamental plant. Gentiana is also known as a 'plant fossil', with not only ornamental value but also high medicinal value. Soaking gentiana in water to drink can help clear toxins and heat from the body, relieve coughing and asthma, clear heat and detoxify, and lower blood pressure.
