There is a cuckoo garden in Sun Wen Memorial Park, where tens of thousands of cuckoos are planted in an area of about 7,000 square meters. At the end of February and the beginning of March, in the light of the spring sun, it will bloom wantonly, and the colorful colors can instantly dye half of the mountain red, except for the coat which is still dark green in winter, in exchange for an amazing shock.

The cuckoo mentioned here must be the cuckoo of the plant. However, the rhododendron in the plant belongs to a very large family, so large that there are more than 3000 genera in the rhododendron family.

As far as the genus rhododendron is concerned, there are about 960 species in the world, of which China accounts for more than half. If you add in the varieties bred by artificial cultivation over the years, the number of species is even more numerous, and each has its own characteristics.

When we talk about azaleas, we actually refer to this large group of rhododendrons. Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once described the cuckoo as "looking back at the colorless peaches and plums, showing that hibiscus is not a flower". From this, it seems that people's love for rhododendron is not overnight, but also likens it to "beauty in flowers".

However, among the many azaleas, the most common one is the beautiful rhododendron. I probably visited the rhododendron garden in Sun Wen Memorial Park. The main planting is the beautiful rhododendron, followed by the white rhododendron which is similar to the beautiful rhododendron.

This beautiful cuckoo all over the mountains, looking up at the foot of the mountain, is clearly colorful and brilliant, like a mountain forest smeared with rouge, can not help but feel extremely shocked.

And along the climbing stone path, clusters of beautiful rhododendrons are coming one after another, although they have not smelled much smell, but exposure to this sea of flowers higher than people, it is really lingering.

Rhododendron, belonging to the genus Rhododendron of Rhododendron family, is a semi-evergreen shrub. Because its young branches and young leaves are always covered with brown fur when they are born, they are also called rhododendron, which is also a more familiar name.

It usually consists of 1-5 flowers in the terminal umbel, each individual flower, usually more than 5 cm in diameter. The Corolla ranging from light pink to rose purple is funnel-shaped and 5-valved.

Note that there are deep cracks, not really five petals, because they are still connected at the bottom of the Corolla. There are a large number of dark spots on the top "petal", with 10 curved stamens in the middle.

The variety of design and color makes it match together, can produce the effect of gradual change: red like fire, passionate; pink like Xia, gentle and lovely. In addition, the white cuckoo, which is often cultivated with the beautiful rhododendron, is as white as snow, pure and beautiful.

The beautiful rhododendron can be said to be the most common and common species of rhododendron in cities in the south, but the beautiful flowers it blooms are the most shocking, and everyone who has seen it can really appreciate what is meant by "an eyeful of colorful flowers are fragrant spring."

Because it blossoms really does not keep a low profile, even if only two or three are attractive enough. If you take good care of it, the number of flowers per plant is very large, and it can blossom in clusters of flowers every minute.

However, those beautiful rhododendrons planted in roadside green belts generally do better in the first two years because of unstable water and fertilizer, smoke and dust, and loud noise. From now on, they basically bloom sparsely, not to mention the fact that the leaves do not blossom, and some even do not even look good.

Beautiful rhododendron is so common in cities that it should be distributed in the wild, but this is not the case. it is cultivated by artificial hybridization. However, its specific and accurate parents are still controversial. However, it is certain to use the white rhododendron as the female parent, while the male parent is a contest between the Gaoyue rhododendron and the Taiwan rhododendron.

In addition, some people think that the white rhododendron mentioned is also a cultivated species rather than a natural species. It is said that it is an albino variety of rhododendron originally from Japan, and the original species is pink.

Flowers like cuckoos, which bloom spectacularly, are usually not very long. It is estimated that the flowers will be almost finished by mid-March, so go and see them quickly.
