Different flowers require specific accumulated temperature conditions to bloom, and some varieties also need to undergo low-temperature vernalization (vernalization refers to the induction and promotion of flowering by overwintering plants by low temperatures, and many plants require a certain amount of low temperature to promote flower bud formation and flower organ development); Insufficient light can easily lead to delayed flowering period, and abnormal precipitation can affect flower quantity and ornamental quality. It is recommended that flowers enter their peak flowering period from late April to early May. During the May Day holiday, the overall temperature in the country is suitable, with less precipitation and sufficient sunshine, and is less affected by unfavorable weather such as cooling and rainy weather. The flowering stability is strong. (Looking into the New Era)
