Which flowers are patchy and beautiful?

The ornamental effect and artistic level of landscaping largely depend on the selection and configuration of garden plants. If you don't pay attention to the collocation of color, flowering period, mosaic and tree type, just plant a few plants, it will be chaotic and the landscape will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, garden flowers and plants are rich in color, and some flower varieties are especially ornamental, only once a year, either in flowering or fruiting period. For example, ginkgo biloba only attracts attention when its leaves are orange in autumn; In spring, not only the branches but also the trunk of Bauhinia are full of purple flowers before the leaves and buds open, which leaves a deep impression on people. Other species have many ornamental functions in a year, such as the spring flowers of Aesculus chinensis and Huang Guan in autumn, all of which are ornamental; Honeysuckle has a large number of yellow flowers in early summer and orange-red fruits in autumn; There are also evergreen conifers such as spruce and juniper, which actually have the effect of blooming all the year round. Therefore, the configuration of garden plants should be considered from the unique ornamental characteristics of different garden plants in order to create a beautiful and lasting flower landscape. When configuring plants, you should generally pay attention to the following points.

(A) combination of flowering plants and foliage plants

Among the ornamental flowers and trees, there are some plants with beautiful and changeable leaves, such as plum and maple with purple leaves, maple with red leaves in autumn and ginkgo with yellow leaves. They are beautiful and can be combined with ornamental plants to extend the viewing period. At the same time, these ornamental trees can also be used as the main scenery in a prominent position. Even evergreen trees have different degrees of ornamental effects, such as light green willow, lawn, light green phoenix tree, dark green camphor, dark green Chinese pine and spruce. And it is best to choose varieties with large chromaticity contrast.

(B) the level of attention

Layered configuration and color matching are important ways of mosaic art. Different leaf colors, patterns and colors, and plant combinations with different heights enrich colors and levels. For example, 1 meter-high boxwood ball, 3-meter-high red-leaf plum, 5-meter-high juniper and1meter-high maple are arranged in four layers from low to high, forming green, red, yellow and other multi-layer trees. The arrangement of species in different flowering stages can prolong the viewing period.

(3) The allocation of plants should have obvious seasonality.

Avoid monotony, affectation and sameness, and form a landscape with flowers in spring, trees in summer, leaves in autumn and differences in winter, which is similar to natural scenery and makes tourists feel the life and changes of nature and feel immersive. Tree species that can be selected according to seasonal changes are Yingchun, Peach Blossom, Plum Blossom, Forsythia, Clove, etc., which bloom in early spring. Roses, roses, Tang Di, etc. Flowering in late spring; Hibiscus, Lagerstroemia indica and various grass flowers in full bloom in early summer; Liquidambar formosana, red maple, triangle maple, ginkgo, fruit-watching begonia, hawthorn, etc. Chinese pine, juniper and cypress are green in winter. The overall configuration effect should be that there are flowers in three seasons and green in four seasons, that is, the so-called "spring blossoms early and summer is unhappy" design is original. In forest allocation, the ratio of evergreen trees is 1/3- 1/4, the effect of dense branches and leaves is better than that of sparse branches and leaves, the effect of broad-leaved trees is better than conifers, the effect of combining trees and shrubs is better than that of planting only trees or shrubs, the effect of lawn is better than that of no lawn, and the effect of various plants is better than that of pure forest. In addition, you can also choose some medicinal plants, fruit trees and other plants with economic value to configure, so that tourists can come to the green space with lush trees and flowers or stroll on the boulevard, but they feel relaxed and happy everywhere and linger.

(d) Herbaceous flowers can make up for the shortage of woody flowers and trees.

Plants can be burned before hydrangea, and marigold and cypress can be used under cherry trees to achieve the effect of flowers in three seasons and evergreen in all seasons. The configuration of garden plants should be coordinated in color, pattern, crown shape and height, plant life and growth potential. At the same time, we should also consider the proportion of plants in each combination and the relationship between the structure itself and the tour route. The design of each combination should also consider the relationship between the surrounding exposed ground, lawn, pool, surface and other combinations. The following examples illustrate the configuration and combination of several groups of ornamental plants.

(1) Berberis and Paeonia lactiflora: This combination consists of a short Berberis shrub and a highly similar Paeonia lactiflora, and the light green Berberis and the dark green Paeonia trilobata form a harmonious tone. The total flowering period of this combination is nearly two months. You can enjoy the beautiful leaf color of Paeonia lactiflora in summer, and the red leaves and red fruits of Berberis in autumn. This group of green flower beds is suitable for opening.

Very ornamental, with a total flowering period of one and a half months. In autumn, their leaves are all dyed red, so lovely. This combination is suitable for low-level plant communities in complex plant configuration structures.

(3) Acer, Prunus and Berberis: In this combination, the height of Prunus is 2m and Berberis is1m.. It is planted around a 4-meter-high maple forest, forming a three-layer ornamental structure and enjoying the leaf color and crown shape of shrubs. This combination has remained stable for a long time, and the dark green leaves of Acer and Plum Blossom form a beautiful contrast with the light green leaves of Berberis.

(5) Clove variety combination: a combination of clove varieties with a total flowering period of one and a half months. It can be arranged on the edge of the forest or on the wall of the building. The flowering period is very beautiful, and there should be intervals between shrubs when arranging.
