Peony variety
Peony is known as the "king of flowers" with a history of 1600 years. Because of its huge patterns and delicate fragrance, it is deeply loved by people. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, it became the national flower.
Peony likes impatience and temperature tolerance, and the humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for peony growth, so peony flowers were not seen in the south in the past.
However, the historical assertion that "there were no peonies in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times" was successfully broken by East Lake, and accidentally, it created history again!
Since 1997, Donghu has been trying to create a new idea of "moving flowers from the north to the south".
In 2004, under the leadership of East Lake peony expert Chen, after more than ten years of cultivation experiments, peony flowers settled in East Lake, and never lost between lakes and mountains.
Today, Donghu Peony Garden has 9 color systems, 10.
Peony with various colors blends into one. This year, more than 0/000 peony plants were added to the "core flower viewing area", covering more than 20 kinds of precious peony, which lived up to the reputation of "the first peony garden in the south of the Yangtze River".
There are not only traditional treasures such as "Yao Huang" and "Wei Zi", but also modern fine peonies such as "Baiyuan Hongyun" and "Unbelievable Ink". Eight precious varieties of peony are in full bloom, listening to the heartbeat of spring.
At present, peony with early and middle flowers are in full bloom:
The "purse peony" in the shape of love even blooms in the shape of loving you! "Dragon Beating Peach Blossom" has a yellow-green flower core, just like a dragon, so lovely. The flower of "Feng Dan" is whiter than snow and can remove dust, so don't confuse it with camellia in the garden!
In mid-April, peonies are in full bloom, and foreign famous products such as Heshun will also appear.
By then, the Peony Garden will become a rainbow-colored flower viewing paradise, and the most splendid Spring Festival is about to begin.
In Donghu Peony Garden, peony is an absolute home, but it is not lonely at all! Begonia, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and hydrangeas also add fragrance and color, ensuring that you can achieve the achievement of "seven flowers sharing" in one visit!
If you want to create a spring photo of the flower viewing season, the protagonist is Haitang. Graceful begonia branches supple, pink intertwined, gradually charming. When the spring breeze blows, the drooping pedicels begin to blossom fragrant flowers, which is intoxicating.
Walking on the path, the begonia and peony at the water's edge face each other across the bank, just like a beauty looking in the mirror at the water's edge, and the classical elegance is hidden in the shadow of flowers.
Peach blossoms are full, colorful and colorful, and the double petals are more magnificent, which is as daunting as fireworks.
In contrast, the exuberant Muxiuqiu, whose colors will change with the seasons. At birth, it will be elegant and fresh green, and when it matures, it will gradually become a white and flawless spherical flower group. Nature is really beautiful and willful!
"A flower doesn't make spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring. If you ask how many colors there are in spring, Donghu Peony Garden will give you the answer.
Punch scenic park takes flowers as the theme to restore the landscape of Jiangnan. Rocks are piled up in semi-rugged places, streams are interspersed among them, flowers are high and low, peonies are hidden among them, and the breeze is fragrant.
The stone carvings engraved with "South China Exclusive" and "National Colors and Fragrance" are tall and eye-catching, and groups of white jade statues vividly tell the story of peony.
Xiangyun was intoxicated in the flowers, and Liu Yuxi was drinking and enjoying the flowers, and personally felt the endless friendship of the ancients for peony.
Looking at the peony pavilion from a distance, I can't help but sigh the ingenuity of gardening art, as if Tang Xianzu's lingering lyrics echoed in my ears. This situation is not a problem, even if I have a guest star in a love legend.
The path is winding and secluded, the rockery is extremely thin and leaking, and the flower beds on both sides are full of peony.
Looking down from the air, the "Flower Heart Square" is shaped like a multi-petal peony flower. In full bloom, precious varieties will open in turn and fill the "flower core" to form a unique flower cluster.
The newly-built cedar plank road seems to be an extension of the scenery.
Retain the original tall and dense fir forest, and the wooden trail is deep and long, with no end in sight. It's not bad to think about life on a hydrophilic platform. The seats are scattered in the shade of Chinese fir forest, which makes you take a lazy nap in the natural oxygen bar.
It turns out that the upgraded Peony Garden is a grand treasure garden. When the peony blooms, your spring is contracted by happiness!
