The leaves are the largest lotus leaves in the world, with a maximum diameter of 1.8 to 2 m, native to the Amazon Basin of South America, preferring high water temperatures (25 °C to 35 °C) and high temperatures (25 °C to 35 °C), requiring sufficient sunlight and fertile loam soil. In the 1950s, two varieties were introduced on the mainland, namely the Amazon King Lotus and the Cruz King Lotus. This time, my garden planted Amazon King Lotus and Cruz King Lotus.
Because Wang Lian's requirements for water temperature and temperature are relatively high, in the natural environment conditions of Baoji is difficult to see its aroma, the winter climate is cold, not suitable for the growth and maturity of Wang Lian, Baoji Botanical Garden after years of exploration, through their own planting, breeding, planting, management and protection using heating rods, light lamps and other auxiliary methods, improve the water temperature and light required for wang lian growth, the largest piece of diameter of 30 cm, the transplantation of Wang Lian makes Wang Lian settle down in my garden, but also allows tourists to enjoy her appearance every year.
Wang Lian has high ornamental value, but also very peculiar and mysterious. Its single flowering period is generally very short, only three days, and the color of each day is different, when the flower buds stick out of the water, the first day in the evening of the separate flowers, white and accompanied by fragrance, the next day becomes pink, the third day becomes purple red, and then closed and withered and sinks into the water, the Wang Lotus planted in my garden according to the climatic conditions, the annual flowering time is around July 20th, let us look forward to this mysterious and beautiful moment together.
