What are the summer flowers?
In midsummer when the scorching sun is in the sky, there are always some flowers blooming amazingly beautiful in the scorching heat. These summer flower emissaries not only add vitality to the courtyard, but also carry unique growth wisdom. Today, I will take you to know eight summer star plants, from ponds to flower beds, from dawn to night, to see how they interpret the romance of summer. Summer Style of Aquatic Flowers Lotus-Water Fairy in Midsummer As the most representative aquatic flower in summer, lotus flowers still maintain an elegant attitude at 35 ° C. The special waxy layer on the surface of its petals can effectively reflect strong light, and the aerogenic tissue in the lotus root transports oxygen to the underwater part. Lotus flowers blooming with dew in the morning are most suitable for photography, and their closing characteristics in the afternoon can also reduce water evaporation. Water lily-the fairy blooming at night and the water lily of the same aquatic plant as the lotus, has a unique biological clock mechanism. The buds begin to stretch before dawn, fully bloom at noon, and go dormant in the evening. The stomata on the back of its leaves can be automatically adjusted to open and close according to the water level, making it an intelligent aquatic plant. Summer warrior sunflowers that are drought-tolerant and strong light-dancers chasing the sun This plant known as "living sunflower" contains special light-sensitive cells in its flower stems. When the sunlight intensity exceeds 40000 lux, the petals will fully stretch out into a plane to obtain maximum light, and will automatically fold to protect pollen in low light environments. Bluegrass-a master climber at high temperatures. Its aerial roots can secrete special mucus, which helps the plant climb firmly at 60 ° C wall temperatures. Orange-red flowers contain carotenoids, which can effectively filter ultraviolet light and ensure the survival rate of pollen under the scorching sun. Epiphyllum blooming at night under the moon-a miracle of blooming in an instant. This cactus family plant has evolved the characteristic of blooming at night and completes pollination by attracting nocturnal insects. The aroma molecules released when flowers open are more easily spread in low-temperature environments, and the aroma concentration peaks at 4 a.m., which is the best time to watch them. The golden rule of matching the garden forms a layer of tall bluegrass and low sunflowers, uses aquatic lotus flowers to match the jasmine flowers on the shore to create a waterscape, and then uses the epiphyllum blooming at night as the finishing touch. Remember to reserve 30% of ventilation space for each square meter of land so that these summer elves can breathe freely.
From the dawn to the shining stars and moons, these summer flowers interpret the wisdom of survival in their own ways. Try combination planting in your own courtyard to immerse yourself in the surprise of blooming flowers throughout the summer.
