Flower heat requires cold thinking
Since 2016, under the impetus of major activities and the horticultural transformation of the urban green environment, the flower landscape has become more and more popular, and some people believe that "the flower garden is an indispensable pearl in the crown of the garden city", and even put forward the saying that "no flower is not a garden, no flower is not a flower exhibition, and no flower is not a project".

In the view of Cheng Tangren, executive director of the National Flower Engineering Technology Research Center, there are many factors behind the "fire" of the flower landscape: the development of ecological civilization, the "Two Mountains Theory" and other ideological guidance; the strategic traction of new urbanization, the construction of green Silk Road and the beautiful Silk Road; the acceleration of the urbanization process, the thermal conductivity effect and the environmental stress of the exceptionally heavy rainstorm, which trigger the people's urgent need for a beautiful, livable and safe urban environment; the holding of major events such as the Olympic Games, the World Expo, and the Expo, bringing about the requirements for the improvement of the urban landscape.

Ye Jianqiu, a special expert of the Flower Landscape Branch of the China Flower Association and general manager of Shanghai Zhiyou Horticulture Co., Ltd., said that the garden flower landscape includes more than ten application forms such as flower beds, flower landscapes, and rock gardens. He said that Huajing is only one of many applications and should not exaggerate its location and role. And now, some people who are not huajing also call themselves huajing, the concept is vague, stealing beams and changing columns, and there is no function of huajing, so that consumers have misunderstandings about huajing. The industrial chain of Huajing is also not perfect, and the most prominent thing is that the quality of the product at the production end cannot keep up.
