For example, Wang Anshi's "Plum Blossom", Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo", Tao Yuanming's "Picking Chrysanthemums Under the Eastern Fence, Leisurely Seeing the South Mountain", different flowers also have different temperaments. Many classic flowers still occupy an important position in the circulation of thousands of years.

If you raise a pot at home, you can not only improve the taste of life, but also let the classics be passed on, and it is also a very good Yaxing and hobby. So, which plants can improve the taste of life? Today I will introduce you to several common classic flowers.
First, orchids, fragrant and elegant
There are many varieties of orchids, and since ancient times, the literati have loved orchids, and it is also one of the four famous flowers. Among them, these kinds of national orchids are the most commonly maintained, such as Chunlan, Hanlan, Molan, Jianlan, Huilan and so on. Many people don't understand the difference between orchids and think that orchids look similar, but in fact, they are not. Flower lovers who understand orchids can recognize at a glance, and their difference is still relatively large.
For example, the spring orchid, its flowering period is from January to March, and it blooms in the spring, so it adds a delicate color to the spring. The flowers of the spring orchid are more graceful, small and flexible, and only one flower can bloom on a branch, and occasionally two flowers. This is the most obvious place for Chunlan to recognize, and it is also the most recognizable place. Its flowering period is from January to March, with a faint aroma, the flowers are green and pale, relatively hardy and drought-tolerant.
Jianlan this variety is very common, but also many novices are more suitable to start, it is also called the four seasons orchid. The flowering period is concentrated in July to September, the flowers are pale yellow, the aroma is relatively strong, and its leaves are relatively wide, upright, and the leaves are smooth.
Mo lan, its flower color is relatively dark, as the name suggests, is a dark red or purple brown flower, the color is so deep that ink, it is also called the annunciation orchid. The flowering period is generally around the Spring Festival, the leaves are more concentrated, look deeper, and are also one of the best orchids to maintain.
Han orchid, as the name suggests, its flowering period is mainly concentrated in the late autumn to the early spring season, the cold season blooms, the leaves are narrow and long, it looks relatively upright, and the flowers are very slender. There are about five to nine flowers on a flower stem, the petals are relatively narrow, the flower color is relatively rich, yellow, blue, red, purple and other colors, with a slight fragrance.
Huilan is extremely ornamental, highly adaptable, can withstand high temperature and cold, grows relatively fast, and is also one of the orchids suitable for novice maintenance.
Since ancient times, orchids have been the favorite of literati and scholars, many painters and poets like to raise orchids at home, set up a pot at home, and the whole room is full of book aroma, elegant and quiet, giving people creative inspiration.
Second, Junzilan, a humble gentleman
Junzilan has always been the favorite of the ancient rich and noble families, known as the "flower of wealth". Junzi orchid has thick and green leaves, and its flowers stand tall, just like the gentleman in the flower. It is a plant that can watch flowers in one season, and watch leaves in four seasons and fruit in three seasons. When you put it at home, the whole interior looks elegant and upscale. It is more suitable for indoor maintenance, placed in the semi-shaded place on the side of the balcony, properly basking in the sun can grow and blossom in all seasons, elegant and generous, and can also cultivate a large group of orchids, which is regarded as an heirloom.
Third, peony, national color heavenly fragrance
Peony has been the favorite of royal gardens and rich families since ancient times, known as the national flower of China, Liu Yuxi's "Peony Appreciation": the peony medicine demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond hibiscus is pure and less affectionate. Only the peony is the true national color, and the flowers move the capital during the blossom season. Peony blossoms national color heavenly fragrance, magnificent, flowering color and fragrance are beautiful. It is very popular with ancient royals and dignitaries, but the cultivation of peonies has certain limitations, it is suitable for planting in the north, and it must go through severe cold in winter to produce gorgeous peonies, and it is more suitable for planting. Few people raise potted peonies for decades or even centuries.
However, if you have a yard at home, keep a few peony flowers in the yard. Blooming every year, graceful and gorgeous, it adds infinite aura to the home, and is also the source of inspiration for the ancient literati inkers to write poems and paintings. Raise a pot at home, and the taste of the whole courtyard will rise directly.
Fourth, chrysanthemums, proud frost open
Chrysanthemums were also the favorites of ancient literati, among which Tao Yuanming was the most famous. Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone, "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain". There is also Huang Chao's "Title Chrysanthemum" sassy west wind full of courtyard planting, Rui Han xiang cold butterfly is difficult to come. If he is the Qing Emperor, he will bloom with peach blossoms. It is to borrow chrysanthemums to show his great ambitions and distinctive personality.
Chrysanthemums are not afraid of the cold and bloom around the autumn and winter seasons, during which most of the flowering plants have withered. However, chrysanthemums can still meet the autumn cold, and the courtyard is open and emits fragrance. And planted for one year, it can bloom every year and grow into a large clump, which is more suitable for novices and ground planting flowers.
Fifth, plum blossoms, wind and bones are proud
There were several plum branches in the corner of the wall, and Ling Han opened it alone. Haruka is not snow, only dark incense. Wang Anshi's "Plum Blossoms" is catchy and every elementary school student recites it. It can be seen that plum blossoms are the source of inspiration for many poets to write poems and paintings.
In ancient paintings, many people paint the plum blossoms of Ao Xue, the first of the four famous flowers, so plum blossoms are also in the first place, very tasteful flowers.
However, plum blossoms are also more suitable for ground cultivation. Plant a plum blossom at home, not afraid of the cold in winter, and bloom proudly every year. And many people especially like plum blossoms, make it into plum blossom bonsai. Raising it at home has a different charm, which adds to the wealth and nobility of the family.
