Plum blossom: the glory before the curtain call

Heavy snow in late winter, in bud; Warm spring, plum blossom fragrance. This year's plum blossom can be described as "fragrance comes from bitter cold", which is later than previous years 10 days. Since the beginning of March, more than 3,500 plum blossoms have bloomed in the 50,000-square-meter plum blossom scenic spot in Pudong Century Park. Shanghai residents who like to enjoy plum blossoms are pleasantly surprised to find that they can see the "fragrance" without walking.

There are more than 20 kinds of plum blossoms here, such as Jade Butterfly, Palace Pink, Jiang Mei, Gulihong and Cinnabar. Gardeners also grafted different varieties of plum blossoms on the same plant, so that a plum tree can produce different colors at the same time, which increased the ornamental effect of plum blossoms. It is estimated that the blooming plum blossoms will last until the end of the month.

In addition to Century Park, there are more than 300 plum trees and more than 30 varieties in Xinzhuang Park, especially precious plum varieties, such as Shuangbi Chuiqing Plum and Subaitaige, which are rare varieties in Shanghai.

There are about 300 plum trees in Shanghai Botanical Garden, with 60-70 varieties, mainly plum, others are pink vermilion and vertical plum, and there is only one plum tree in the garden.

Rape flower: You can't leave the "Shanghai" flower field.

Anyone who has been to the suburbs knows that rape is not a rare creature in Shanghai, but it is usually only a small piece of scenery that occasionally passes by the window, which cannot be linked with the word "reward". So every spring comes, so many Shanghainese will pack their bags, take their cameras and travel long distances to find the golden zone in their minds.

Therefore, the biggest attraction of the first Shanghai Fengxian Cauliflower Festival, which will kick off in Fengxian Zhuanghang on March 29th, is to let "Allah" see the flower sea of rape flowers without leaving "Shanghai". It is understood that in Fengxian Zhuanghang, what will be presented to tourists this time is the landscape of rape fields with an area of 3,000 mu. According to the description, in the main venue of Pandian Village Cauliflower Festival, pieces of golden and smooth rape flowers spread out like a huge goose velvet carpet to the distant horizon. Spring breeze blows, flowers are rolling and floating.

In the urban area, Century Park is also a good place to enjoy rape blossoms. More than 70,000 rape flowers with an area of nearly 7,000 square meters are planted along the two small rivers, and they meet tourists with a strip and block appearance. The flowers in Huang Cancan are more and more dazzling against the sparkling water. In the rape field, a very thin "flower diameter" will be opened. Visitors can stroll along the flower path and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the flower field.

Magnolia officinalis: entering the full bloom stage

The temperature is getting warmer, and the magnolia in Shencheng seems to bloom overnight.

The first batch of Magnolia this year opened in early March. In late March, Er Qiao Yulan, Hongyun Yulan and other colorful Yulan will also be opened one after another; Until April, Shanghainese citizens can still enjoy the Purple Magnolia and Huang Yulan. The 2008 Shanghai Flower Show held in Shanghai Botanical Garden will open on March 28th. However, due to the recent warm weather, the theme of the flower show, narcissus, can't wait, and some of them have shown their beauty early.

Cherry blossoms: The viewing season begins at the end of the month.

The cherry blossoms bloom a little later this year than last year.

Cherry blossoms have begun to appear in some suburban forest belts. If the climate continues to be warm, cherry blossoms will open at the end of the month. Among all the blooming spring flowers, the flowering period of cherry blossoms is short, from blooming to withering, often only about a week. Therefore, there is a saying of "seven days of cherry blossoms", and it is easy to miss the flowering period of cherry blossoms if you are not careful.

The cherry blossoms planted in Shanghai mainly include Japanese Late Sakura, Tokyo Sakura, Bean Sakura, Ashiji Sakura, etc. The colors are white and pink. The beauty of cherry blossoms mainly lies in their rapid opening overnight, covering the whole cherry blossom forest, and the spectacular sight of snowflakes flying all over the sky when they fall after blooming always amazes the flower watchers.

Only Shanghai Botanical Garden has large cherry blossoms in the central city, and Zhongshan Park and * * * Green Forest Park also have a small number of cherry blossoms. In order to make up for the shortage of cherry blossoms, in recent years, a large number of cherry blossoms have been planted in the "Thousand-meter Flower Path" of Minhang Sports Park, which is open together with weeping begonia, apricot blossom and peach blossom, and visitors can feel a strong visual impact.

Peach blossom: intoxicated with Nanhui's "Taoyuan Wonderland"

The 2008 Shanghai Peach Blossom Festival kicked off in Nanhui Group Taoyuan on March 25th. Nanhui has nearly 50 thousand mu of peach forest, with large planting area and many varieties, which is the highest in East China and has the reputation of "Peach Blossom Garden".

In the spring of March, tens of thousands of acres of peach blossoms in Nanhui are in full bloom. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, on the main roads such as Shanghai, Nan Zhou, Lu Nan, Nanliu and Outer Ring Road, "Peach blossoms on both sides of the strait cross the road", stretching for more than a hundred miles from Pudong New Area to Luchaogang Orchard. The pink peach blossoms are layered, dense and uneven, like clouds, blushing from a distance, and clouds are blooming from a close look, which is dizzying and intoxicating.
