Cinnamon is known for its intoxicating scent, but do you wonder how many flowers it spends a year? What are the characteristics of different seasons of flowering? This paper will give you an insight into the flowering pattern of the cinnamon. From the usual fall flower to other seasons, to the factors that affect them, i will analyze them in detail, helping you to understand the secret of cinnamon. It's easy for you to read and get practical knowledge. Let's explore the wonderful world of this fragrance
Quails: how many flowers a year
Guihua, a small but fragrance plant, symbolizes the blessing and beauty of chinese culture and often appears in poetry. Its unique sweet smell can be found in our daily lives in parks, in small areas or from homeyards. But when it comes to flowering seasons, many may know only that it blooms in autumn, but the pattern of flowering is far more complicated than expected. Today, i'm here to tell you how many seasons do the cinnamon bloom? What's the science behind it? After reading this article, you'll be half a cinnamon expert。
I. Basic introduction to the cinnamon flower: not just the "salent" of autumn
Guihua, known as osmanthus fragrans, is a permanent green shrub or a little wood. Its flowers are small, usually golden or white, but the scent is so rich that they can spread dozens of metres. This aroma is not only a source of comfort, but is also used to make tea, pastries or spices and to make life interesting. However, many mistakenly assumed that cinnamon bloomed only in the autumn, which was a one-sided view. Cinnamon flowering practices vary according to variety and are divided into three main categories: cinnamon, cinnamon cinnamon and qin gui. Of these, kim cui and gin cui are the dominant species, and they do prefer autumn, while the four-season cui can bloom in other seasons “instead of playing by common sense”. Understanding this would allow for a better answer to the question of “cropping flowers every year”。
In short, the flowering period of the cinnamon is not a fixed “season flowering” but a flexible change based on species, climate and growing environment. Some of the cuisine spends only once a year and is concentrated in the autumn; others take place twice or more, throughout spring, summer and autumn. Next, i'll tell you about it from season to season。
Ii. Autumn flowering: the “gold season” of cinnamon flowers with the most fragrances
The autumn was the most famous flowering period for guacamole, lasting about a month from mid-september to late october. At this point, the species of gold and silver cinnamon will flourish in large quantities, the flowers will be dense and the scent will peak. Why fall? It's about the growth habits of cinnamon. Cinnamon is a “short-sun-ray plant”, meaning it is sensitive to light time. In autumn, the day is shorter and the night is longer, and this change “triggers” the guacamole. These conditions, combined with a moderate fall temperature (usually 15-25°c), less rainfall and dry air, are conducive to the concentration and opening of flowers and to a more persistent smell。
In practical observation, if you look at the cinnamon tree in the park, you'll find it the best time to reward flowers from the end of september to the beginning of october. And the flower hangs on a branch, and the gold and the silver and the white, and when the wind blows, the scent will spread. Many cities are organizing "cinnamon festivals" that capture the characteristics of this season. But it is important to note that not all of the cinnamon flowers that bloom in the fall are the same — the flowers of the cinnamon are dark and fragrancey; the cinnamon is slightly less. If properly maintained (e. G., properly trimmed and fertilized), the flowering period could be extended until early november. However, this is only the “principal play” of the guacamole period, and there are also “accompaniment shows” in other seasons。
Spring and summer flowering: quain's multi-season show to break conventional awareness
In addition to the autumn, the four-season guerilla species of cinnamon (also known as moon and moon cinnamon) can bloom in the spring and summer, making the bouquets “multi-seasonal”. Quail gui has a flexible start time: the spring is about march to may and the summer between june and august. How can it be "not by the rules"? It's because of its genetic properties. Quincy is a variant of cinnamon, which is more resilient to the environment and less sensitive to changes in light and temperature. In the spring, the temperature rises to more than 10 degrees celsius, and it starts to graze; during the summer high temperature (25-30 degrees centigrade), it can bloom sporadically as long as the moisture is sufficient。
However, spring and summer flowering is much smaller than autumn. When flowers bloom in the spring, they are smaller in number and taste less, like a "pre-hot show" ; when they bloom in the summer, they are more sporadic, and they may have only a few dots in the green leaves, which are easily obscured by high temperatures. In horticultural practice, the author found that the frequency of flowering in qin is highly influenced by the region. In the south (e. G. Guangdong, fujian) where the climate is warm, the quail can start two to three times a year; in the north it is smaller, except in the greenhouse environment. For example, my balcony planted a four-quarter guilty flower in beijing in the spring (april) and the early autumn (september), but only a few in the summer heat. This means that the “multi-season flowering” of the cinnamon flower is not a regularity, but rather a “watching of the sky”。
Key factors affecting the flowering period: variety, climate and conservation
There are a number of scientific factors behind the diversity of the flowering season. Briefly summarised in three points: diversity of species, environmental climate and man-made conservation. It is only with that understanding that the answer can really be “a few seasons a year”。
Taken together, the flowering period is not a simple “several seasons”, but a dynamic process. Ordinary cinnamon flowers (e. G., kim cinnamon) last one season (autumn); four cinnamon may be two seasons (spring, fall) or more. Under ideal conditions, the maximum number of flowerings of a cinnamon tree is approximately 2-3 times, with specific regard to species and conservation。
V. Summary and recommendations: appreciation of the cinnamon flower, beginning with an understanding of the flower season
In general, the guacamole is usually divided into one to three seasons: autumn is the mainstream, and spring and summer is “supplemented” by four seasons. That means that the guacamole spends much more time than "one year" -- it can be either a “frozen feast” in the autumn or a “scatter surprise” in spring. It not only helps you to enjoy the flowers better (e. G. Go to the park in the autumn, watch the quail in the spring) but also guides you in gardening. If you want to grow cinnamon flowers, you are recommended to select four-quarter cinnamon varieties, with appropriate maintenance, so that the fragrance can run through many seasons。
And finally, the flowering pattern reminds us that nature is full of variables. The same cinnamon, which may take place in different years, may vary slightly (e. G., warm winter leads to early onset). This represents the wonder of life — the smell of flowers, though short, that continues year after year. I hope this article gives you a new understanding of the cuisine flower. The next time you smell the familiar sweet smell, think, "this flower is whispering the story of the season."
