In previous years, at this time, the osmanthus flowers in Yongcheng had already bloomed "seven seven eight eight", but this year, until now, everything was like being pressed the "pause button".
Looking at the buds of the osmanthus tree full of flowers but not blooming, I want to ask: Do we still have a chance to appreciate the laurel?

In the recent matter of people's stomachs, there is really no flower that can compete with osmanthus flowers. It's just, what do you guys really want?
Is it just a picture of the fragrance?
It seems that there is no other flower that can be like osmanthus flowers, fragrant "thick, clear, long, long", so plump.
The main ingredient of osmanthus fragrance is mainly ionone, which belongs to the rich fragrance type, which is why "the osmanthus blossoms are full of incense".
Especially in the blooming period, go to the osmanthus tree to drill a drill, take a few deep breaths, and then slowly exhale, feeling that you are no different from the "Fragrant Princess" in the novel, and every pore on your body emits fragrance.
Is it just a good picture?
The "posture" of osmanthus flowers is placed in a hundred flowers, and the "top two" Haikou does not dare to boast, but it cannot stand up to people's culture and connotation.
Qu Yuan said "Aid beidou xi drink cinnamon pulp, Xin Yi che xi knot gui flag", Yu Li said "guizi fluttering incense in the middle of the moon", Li Yu said "branches are born of infinite moon incense", Li Shangyin said "last night the West Pond was cool and dewy, and the osmanthus flowers blew off the incense in the moon", Yang Wanli said "It is not a human species, it is moved from the moon"...
Until Hong Shi pushed his preference for osmanthus to the peak: "Who sets the flower king to set the difference, QingFen duan and Pei Jin rhinoceros... Only the smell of the fragrance for miles, I know that the reputation of the beans is thousands of hometowns. ”
Among the flowers that look good, they are the most cultured; among the flowers that have culture, they are considered to be good-looking. Osmanthus spells "comprehensive strength".
Is it a good picture?
That's a must. From ancient times to the present, people often refer to Shi Tu Zhi zhi and fei huang Tengda as "folding gui".
For example, in Guangxi and other areas where ethnic minorities gather, there is a practice of giving osmanthus flowers to the people of italy to show admiration, so there is a proverb that "a branch of osmanthus flowers is a heart, and the osmanthus forest is knotted for life".
For example, in Yunnan, when the Dai people celebrate the Songkran Festival, they will also use cinnamon branches to whisk water to the guests to show good luck.
Do you like such osmanthus flowers? Will you wait?

Since it is a collection of thousands of pets in one, it is not enough to wait, but what is the purpose of this year's "bitter waiting"?
The reporter consulted several experts from the Ningbo Botanical Garden, and the reply was surprisingly consistent: the temperature that could not be lowered for a long time disrupted the rhythm of osmanthus blossoming.
According to the statistics of the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, the average temperature of the city in September this year was 26.7 °C, which was 2.3 °C higher than the same period of the year, the highest in the same period of history.
Since entering October, especially during the National Day holiday, the temperature in our city is still high.
According to perennial statistics, Ningbo will officially enter the autumn in the meteorological sense on September 30 every year. This year's autumn has been delayed until October 16, half a month late.
Osmanthus is also a plant that is sensitive to temperature. Generally, it is necessary to wait for the temperature to drop to a critical temperature of about 20 ° C and continue for a period of time, coupled with the stimulation of the temperature difference between day and night.
The most ideal state is that the cold air comes first to "cold and cold", it is best to cooperate with a little rain, and after the cold air passes, the sun comes out and shines, and the osmanthus will be like popcorn, crackling and blooming.
After the strong cold air, the osmanthus flowers also bloom sporadically. Reporter Cui Yin/Photo
If you look closely, Osmanthus is still a little aggrieved about the "late" thing.
Lin Hailun, a city plant research expert, said that before October 1 this year, he had seen brilliant osmanthus flowers in the high-altitude mountains above 400 meters above sea level in the Siming Mountains.
"In fact, the osmanthus flowers are already ready to bloom, but they lack a cold air to press the start button." Helen Lin said.
So, the cold air that is currently wrapped in strong winds raging in our city will become the "catalyst" of osmanthus flowers?
Not to mention, some friends around me seem to smell "that smell". Even those osmanthus flowers that are still budding and waiting to be released, close to the front, can smell a sweet fragrance.
Belatedly arrived, many osmanthus flowers in Rihu Park quietly blossomed...
At 10:00 a.m. on October 17, the continuous rainy weather finally stopped, and the sun quietly emerged. The reporter saw in Rihu Park that many osmanthus trees have bloomed fine osmanthus flowers, and the long-lost osmanthus fragrance makes many tourists feel very surprised, "I thought I couldn't smell the osmanthus this year, I didn't expect that the osmanthus flowers would bloom so late!" ”
A staff member of Rihu Park told reporters that this year's osmanthus bloomed about a month later than in previous years, Rihu Park planted a lot of osmanthus flowers, every year in the lunar calendar in August is the best season to appreciate the gui, this year because the temperature remains high, so the conditions for osmanthus blooming did not form, early this morning to see the osmanthus blossom, don't mention how happy it is.
Osmanthus flowers in Rihu Park
Sun Lijun, chief greener and senior engineer of the Haishu District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau, told reporters that the osmanthus trees in our city are mainly based on golden gui, dangui, etc., with a strong fragrance, and the blossom season can bring people a good enjoyment. Because the osmanthus blossoms bloom late this year and the gestation time is relatively long, the fragrance will be stronger, and the citizens and friends can make an appointment to appreciate the laurel when they are free.
The rain is a bit heavy, which may affect the blooming of osmanthus flowers.
In Lin Helen's view, the blossoming of osmanthus flowers is a bit like "Karma", and the flowering period should not be very long. In other words, even if we "still have a chance," we must seize this opportunity.
The stronger cold air is already very powerful, but there is another "road blocker" waiting for osmanthus.
From the ten-day forecast released by the Municipal Meteorological Observatory on October 17, from October 18 to October 19, the city will still be cloudy to cloudy, with local light rain; the next October 20 to October 22, the city will also have a significant precipitation process.
How much does precipitation affect osmanthus flowers?
Even if the "bitter wait" finally waits for the osmanthus flower, after a dozen hits of rain, it will directly "fall on the shoulder"; there is also the most anticipated fragrance of the osmanthus flower, I am afraid it will be greatly discounted.
As the cold air sweeps through with strong winds, rain, and cooling, is the osmanthus near your home, or the place you have to pass through every day, can't the osmanthus withstand repeated "urging"? Take a beautiful photo of Guihua, remember to submit to Yongshang to share, maybe, this may be the only "Qianying" of Guihua this year, and the excellent works submitted will have the opportunity to appear on the Yongshang APP for display
