This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and I still remember July 1, 1997, watching with excitement and excitement as the flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region fluttered in the wind, and the whole country celebrated with joy and tears, as if everything was still yesterday.
The flying flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has a dazzling red flower, which is a bauhinia flower, also known as red flower bauhinia and bauhinia bauhinia, although it is also called bauhinia flower, but unlike the bauhinia of the legume family Bauhinia genus, they are plants of two different families. It is actually a hybrid plant, a new variety of hybrids of "sheepshoe nails" and "bauhinia bauhinia".
"Bauhinia" was first discovered in Hong Kong in 1880, when the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Henry Arthur Bli, and botanists jointly studied and confirmed that it was a new species of the genus Ofteo, and named it after Sir Buli's surname, which translates to Chinese is "Bauhinia Bauhinia", because it is a green plant of the genus Offid, so its scientific name is "Safflower Sheepshoe Nail" or "Purple Flower Sheepshoe Nail".
The safflower sheepshoe nail is a household name in Hong Kong, known to all ages. As early as 1965, the safflower sheepshoe nail was officially designated as the city flower of Hong Kong at that time, and in 1997, after the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region continued to adopt the elements of bauhinia as the design pattern of the district emblem, district flag and coin.
The flower language of the safflower sheepshoe nail is family affection, brotherhood and harmony, which can be used to express harmonious family relations, family affection between families, so that people can feel a faint family affection after seeing it; There are also flower words of unswerving determination, vows, non-abandonment, and sharing of hardships, expressing the emotions of unswerving determination and non-abandonment.
Safflower sheepshoe nail tree type is beautiful, evergreen and lush in all seasons, quite resistant to smoke and dust, the flowering period is very long, every year in October flowering, to the end of May of the following year, in addition to Hong Kong, but also loved by people everywhere, is now the street tree in many cities in South China, when the flower blooms 5 petals are arranged in turn, flowers are full of trees, far away, a red or pink, very spectacular.
