Speaking of the city flowers and city trees of the North Sea
Many citizens know that it is a bougainvillea and a fig with small leaves
But once you get into detail
Many citizens seem to be limited to "knowing"
This time
The Evening News Jun specifically found the garden experts of the Beihai City Greening Station
Bring you a popular science sticker of "enough water for you to blow"
First, let's talk about the city flowers
Bougainvillea is a flowering plant that is very familiar to the people of the North Sea
Small to Zhongshan Road, Zhuhai Road, large to Beihai Avenue, Yintan Avenue
The main and secondary roads of the Beihai are indispensable to the figure of the city flower
There was even a "City Flower Park" built specifically for it.
A variety of bougainvillea come together
December 2000
The Third Session of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth People's Congress of Beihai City
Officially positioned the bougainvillea as the city flower of Beihai City
Bougainvillea is also known as light leaf flower and triangle flower
Native to Brazil,
It is widely distributed in the southern region of our country
Triangle plum blossoms are rich in color and bloom for more than 200 days
In the environment suitable for the North Sea
Bougainvillea can bloom three seasons a year
The bougainvillea of the North Sea is currently present
Mainly purple-flowered bougainvillea and water red bougainvillea
Recently
More than 50 varieties of bougainvillea have been introduced in the North Sea
Compared to most flowering plants
Bougainvillea has
Easy to germinate, easy to survive, resistant to pruning, resistant to barrenness and other advantages
In a word, it's not so squeamish
Because the bougainvillea needs to be exposed to the sun,
Better flowering can be achieved under conditions such as sufficient sunlight
According to this characteristic
Guangdong Road, Shanghai Road Overpass,
Open areas such as landscape belts along the railway line are planted with bougainvillea
This has also become a unique landscape of the North Sea
Oh, by the way
See the three red "petals" of the bougainvillea?
Actually, that's not its petal
The bougainvillea flower is only the small one in the middle
The three pieces around are just its leaves
The purpose is to attract the attention of animals and insects
Achieve the purpose of protecting the smooth fruit of the flowers
After talking about the city flowers, let's look at the city trees
In 2000,
The small leaf fig was officially identified as the Beihai City Tree
Speaking of figs
The first thing that most citizens think of is the small leaf banyan on Beibu Bay Middle Road
When it was first planted in the 1950s,
They are only more than 2 meters tall
As a native plant of the North Sea
Small leaf banyan naturally will not "shame" the North Sea
More than half a century later
They grew into the shape of the sky that is now densely covered
Bring a hint of shade to passers-by
Ficus parviflorum is a masculine plant
He prefers a warm, high humidity, long-sunlight environment
Compared to most green trees
Fig parviflora has
Resistant to barrenness, wind, pruning, easy to transplant, long life and other advantages
The flowering period is generally from March to June
The staff of the Beihai Greening Station once recalled a past event
Once, there was an outbreak of gray and white silkworm moth infestation in the North Sea
As a result, large areas of green trees in the North Sea are affected
Of all the affected plants,
Ficus microphylla loses a lot
At one point, some of the leaflets of fig figs were nibbled off
Under the efforts of Beihai City Greening Station
This time the pest was contained in time
And the small leaf fig also let people see its vigorous vitality again
Just over half a month
The small leaf fig that has been gnawed away will all grow new leaves,
Rejuvenated
