On December 2nd and December 9th, an orange friend photographed the "winter lotus" that continued to bloom in the lotus area at the entrance of Hangzhou Xinxin Hotel. This has aroused a lot of curiosity and concern, because lotus flowers generally grow and bloom in summer, and it is difficult to imagine that they can still bloom in the cold winter.
In fact, these "winter lotus" is a variety of lotus called "West Lake Autumn Rhyme". This variety has a longer flowering period than other lotus varieties and can be in full bloom until mid to late November. In Hangzhou, the variety was planted on a trial basis in 2018 and this year is also being planted in the Hequ district along Beishan Street. In this way, the time to see the lotus flowers can be extended beyond November.
The temperature suitable for lotus flowers to survive is generally around 10. Due to the warmer weather in late November and early December, many buds began to form and open. However, as the weather gets colder, these buds quickly wilt and cannot continue to open. Especially in recent days, the minimum temperature has dropped below 0, which is a great challenge for the buds that formed in the early stage.
This time, the "Winter Lotus" was able to continue to bloom in the cold winter, which aroused the interest and discussion of many netizens. Many people have shared their photos in the Hangzhou Lotus District on social **, admiring this peculiar phenomenon. Some people believe that it is a miracle of nature, while others express admiration for the vitality and adaptability of lotus flowers.
Some examples of similar events can be found on the web. Last year, for example, lotus flowers bloomed in winter at a lotus theme park in Guangdong. This incident has attracted people's attention and heated discussions, and many people have been moved by the stubbornness and beauty of the lotus. However, similar events are uncommon, and most lotus flowers still grow and bloom during the summer months.
The blooming of the "winter lotus" this time did not have a great impact on the society, but it caused a certain sensation among the citizens of Hangzhou. Many people travel to the Dutch district** for this spectacular sight and leave behind many beautiful **. This also gives people a deeper understanding of the wonder of nature and the power of life.
For a moment, this event of the "winter lotus" blooming made people sigh at the vitality and adaptability of the lotus. Although this phenomenon is not common, it shows us the wonder and diversity of nature. People shared their opinions and opinions, and started discussions and exchanges. The impact of this event on society is relatively small, but it reminds us to pay attention to and cherish the natural landscape around us, and at the same time makes people feel awe of the power and wonder of nature.
