Well, it also has other names, such as the familiar cherry blossom, or the needle-shaped sky-blue hydrangea.
Can you guess from its name: does this flower belong to the pocket cute type?
Actually it is!
The tufted phlox is short, with a plant height of only 0.1~ 0.2m, and almost prostrate on the ground.
The tufted phlox is a member of the plant kingdom, which blooms from March to May. When it is in full bloom, you can see the clumps of fulukou forming a spectacular sea of flowers.
Flukau has a gap at the top of the petal, like a cherry blossom.
The cone-shaped phlox, also known as the sky-blue hydrangea, is a close relative of the tufted phlox. Its plants are taller and its flowers are bigger.
The flowers and colors of the tufted phlox are also very similar to cherry blossoms.
The painting style of cone flowers is quite different from that of cluster flowers.
This name is the transliteration of the first word "Fu Lu Kao" in the scientific name.
Yes, it's transliteration, not form or rhyme!
The unknown translator deliberately chose the three words "Fu", "Lu" and "Kao" which are both homophonic and meaningful.
At first, the director was puzzled by the word "Kao" and had doubts in his heart. After investigation, it is confirmed that "Kao" means "longevity" in ancient times.
Fu, Lu and Shou are three immortals in Chinese folk beliefs that can bring good luck to people.
However, some people don't like the name "Flour Flower King" and call it "needle-shaped sky-blue hydrangea" after its various colors.
Different names will not affect the beauty of this flower.
Although a single tufted phlox tree is short and looks unremarkable, thousands of tufted phlox trees can show collective strength and form a magnificent pink sea of flowers.
So in Japan, this flower has a short Chinese name-Zhiying.
"Cheese" in Japanese means "lawn".
"Sakura" means that its flowers are mostly pink, and the tips of petals are often concave, much like cherry blossoms.
Hey, the Japanese like the tufted phlox very much. Many places have planted large tracts of tufted phlox, and the most famous viewing place is Hokkaido.
Many parks in China have also begun to lay clumps of Fu Lu Kao, and the effect of planting in pieces is really amazing.
However, large-scale planting is not an easy task. It takes time, place, people and the experience and patience of gardeners to ensure that every small piece of tufted phlox can thrive and bloom smoothly.
If you also like Cong Fulu Kao Hua, you can also start planting potted plants!
Hahaha, sharing beautiful flowers and plants is to attract you to open "balcony planting".
The director chose to plant it on the balcony. "If you don't have to spend money, you can breed and cultivate bonsai yourself, all by yourself!" This is the core purpose of our balcony family.
A pot of soil, a pot of flowers, a pot of vegetables, a bonsai,
I like to plant on the balcony, like to give and get, and enjoy a good life!
