In Chinese culture, "auspicious flowers" are not just representatives of plants, but also contain profound cultural implications and beautiful wishes. They not only decorate our homes but also embody people's longing and expectation for a better life. Especially during the special period at the end of the year, raising a few pots of "auspicious flowers" implies good luck and prosperity in the coming year.
Wintersweet
When it comes to plants that bloom in winter, wintersweet is undoubtedly the "top choice". Since ancient times, men of letters have been full of praise for it. Wang Anshi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem to praise it: "A few plum branches at the corner of the wall, blooming alone against the cold; From afar, one knows it's not snow, for a faint fragrance comes." Wintersweet has a very strong cold tolerance and can grow and bloom normally even under the low temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius. Its flower fragrance is rich and can bring a fresh aroma to the indoor environment in winter. Moreover, the flowering period of wintersweet is quite long, lasting from December to March of the next year, making it an excellent choice for indoor viewing in winter.
Peony
Peony, known as the "King of Flowers", has large and gorgeous flowers, symbolizing wealth and auspiciousness. Since ancient times, peony has been a frequent presence in auspicious patterns. For example, in the picture of magpies on plum branches, it represents "happiness showing on one's eyebrows" and "the early arrival of good news in spring"; in the picture of plum, bamboo and two magpies, it represents "happiness following bamboo and plum", etc. Although the cultivation of peony is somewhat difficult, its elegant and magnificent temperament and good meaning have made it a favorite among many flower lovers.
Paeonia lactiflora
Paeonia lactiflora has a flower shape similar to that of peony, but it is more adaptable and has better cold resistance than peony. Paeonia lactiflora has various flower colors, including pink, bright red, yellow, white, etc., which can meet the aesthetic needs of different people. Paeonia lactiflora symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness, and it is also a symbol of beautiful love and friendship. The cultivation of Paeonia lactiflora is relatively simple and suitable for home cultivation.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen has won the favor of many flower lovers with its unique flower colors, flower shapes and leaf changes. Cyclamen symbolizes welcoming guests and good luck. It has lush flowers and leaves, and is a plant that can be appreciated for both its flowers and leaves. Cyclamen likes a cool environment, and its optimal growth temperature is between 10°C and 25°C. Its cold tolerance varies according to different species, but most native cyclamens have relatively strong cold tolerance and are suitable for cultivation in autumn and winter.
Choosing "auspicious flowers" can not only decorate our homes but also embody our longing and expectation for a better life. These four kinds of flowers, namely wintersweet, peony, Paeonia lactiflora and cyclamen, each have their own characteristics and good meanings. Whether for home cultivation or giving to relatives and friends, they are all excellent choices. May these "auspicious flowers" add a touch of color and happiness to your life.
