Half a month ago, I went to Kaifu Ancient Temple with friends to burn incense, and before leaving, I found a garden full of potted rhododendron red camellia. At that time, because I thought its leaf shape was very peculiar, I was not sure that it was camellia, but I just thought that it had flowers.
After returning home, after multiple verifications and repeated confirmations, it was determined that it was azalea red camellia.
In fact, this is not the first time I have come into contact with this rhododendron red camellia, as early as a few years ago, my mother raised it when she was doing business at home, and my mother was very happy to introduce to me that this is a four-season camellia, which is very rare.
It may have been at the time of its popularity, and I also saw reports about azalea red camellia on TV.
As an ornamental flower native to Guangdong on the mainland and with a small native population, it is a very gratifying thing that the horticultural species of Rhododendron red camellia has been favored.
Rhododendron red camellia, also known as Zhang's red camellia, false tou tea, four seasons red camellia, azalea leaf camellia, these names all reveal its specialness. She is a shrub of the camellia family Camellia family, and its leaves mostly look like the leaves of azaleas, the flowers are dazzling deep red, of course, the horticultural industry is breeding varieties of other colors to make them more widely used and popular.
Affected by the environment, the main variation is presented in the changes of flowers and leaves, the leaf shape is inverted ovate, oval, lanceolate and long strips, the leaf color also has the variation of flower spots, and the flowers in addition to the common crimson, there are also individual spots, I believe that over time, these refreshing variant varieties will become more and more stable and approach the public life.
Many people like camellia, but camellia only blooms in late winter and early spring, and this kind of four-year-round, colorful rhododendron-red camellia has been sought after by many enthusiasts as soon as it is launched, and potted plants appear elegant and noble at home, and the application value in municipal gardens is also very high. Its natural height from 1 meter to 2.5 meters, in the configuration of garden plants, often used as plant landscaping middle plant shrubs or small trees, but through grafting, can also reach a height of more than 5 meters, can be planted alone, planted, more can improve the level of the environment and ornamental effect.
As a unique species of the continent, only by integrating it into daily life can we ensure its future sustainable development and make it no longer endangered and critically endangered.
