"It was a real surprise to see a large number of sunflowers on the streets of the city, and it made people feel like the fields on the outskirts. When the day off, I will bring the child to take pictures and punch cards. Citizen Ms. Li passed by Wuhan Qingshan District Construction Ten Road to find a "surprise", this road has been decorated with sunflowers, thousands of red and other flowers, as if coming to the field.
Jianshe Tenth Road was originally a few idle vacant land on both sides of Linjiang Avenue, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, and now here grows this patch of herbaceous flowers such as thousands of reds, hundreds of days grass, sunflowers, etc., like a large garden full of spring. A thousand red windward swaying and blossoming, a burst of purple waves undulating, pleasant. Behind the thousand sun red was a large piece of golden yellow grain, and the heavy grain ear bent the branches and proudly announced the good news to passers-by.
Why are sunflowers and grains grown on the streets? The relevant person in charge of the garden department of Qingshan District told Jimu News that the district is also the first attempt to plant sunflowers and grains in the streets of beautiful flowers. In recent years, all urban areas in Wuhan have been using large idle open spaces to plant flower fields and flowers, creating more and more beautiful living spaces for citizens. However, most of the flowers used are herbaceous flowers such as thousands of red, centaur, and daisy.
"Compared to the average herbaceous flower, the cost of these two plants is low, but the landscape effect is very unique. And when the sunflowers and grains are ripe, their fruits attract birds to feed, which is also a beneficial attempt to keep birds in the city. In addition, if the grain is produced, it is also ready to be harvested and polished and distributed to the surrounding residents, killing two birds with one stone. The person in charge said.
The Jimu News reporter learned that there are two varieties of sunflowers grown on the streets in the district, namely puffs and France. According to the relevant maintenance personnel, the maintenance process is very difficult. When the first seed was sown in mid-August, it encountered continuous rain, which did not germinate at all, and then sowed twice, and the germination rate was still not ideal. There is no way but to change the way of thinking, first sow in the nursery, and then transplant it to the street open space after the buds, so as to have the current landscape effect. Most of the sunflowers in bloom now are puffs with a height of 60 to 90 cm, and in the later period, the high poles of France will also open, generally 130 to 160 cm in height. Rice is relatively easy to sow and survive, but the drought in September and the lack of rain double the amount of watering during the growing season.
