今年要回家过春节了,来美国后第一次!
过春节要聊一下水仙花(以前写的)
对中国人来说,新年最受青睐的花卉,莫过于水仙花。水仙花可以说是北京的年花,以前在父母身边衣来伸手饭来张口的时候,心思都在别处,没留意和关心过这些。过自己的小日子以后,倒是经常买来水仙花应景,山寨了好多年才意识到,原来此水仙非彼水仙
中国水仙以漳州水仙为代表, 有凌波仙子的美称。叶色翠绿,花朵洁白,盛花期暗香盈袖,符合东方人的审美标准,是历史悠久的传统年宵花之一
洋水仙和漳州水仙虽然长相类似,仔细深究,其实有很多不同
洋水仙品种多,花色较为鲜艳丰富,多数是重瓣的,也有很多单瓣品种。花杆从鳞茎处长长抽出,花朵向阳开放,花姿漂亮,花色有金黄色、粉色、白色、淡黄及多种复色品种。漳州水仙主要有重瓣水仙玉玲珑、单瓣水仙金盏银台两种,花色单一,白色花朵,黄色花蕊
洋水仙通常是一葶一花,而漳州水仙则是一葶多花,能够达到3-8朵
在花香方面,洋水仙多数是淡香,但挥发性很好。漳州水仙则是浓香
另外,两种水仙鳞茎不同。洋水仙外皮呈现为黄褐色的干膜状,漳州水仙外皮颜色比洋水仙外皮颜色更浅一些,除了一个主球,还附有两个大小相近的侧球
栽培方式也不一样,洋水仙多数只能土培,漳州水仙可以水培
洋水仙可以多年复花,而漳州水仙一般只能种一年
现在中国也引进了洋水仙,很多人家两种都有。如果往前追溯,漳州水仙其实也是舶来品,只不过已经形成了独有的特色,而被称为“中国水仙”

Narcissus, Daffodils, and Jonquils:
What are the Differences?
Often used interchangeably, daffodils and jonquils do have unique characteristics. All daffodils fall under the botanical name Narcissus, but a jonquil indicates just one type of Narcissus, Narcissus jonquilla and its hybrids. Daffodils and jonquils are spring blooming perennial bulbs best planted in fall as soil begins to cool.
Narcissus covers thousands of hybrids of both daffodils and jonquils. While regionally jonquils may be called daffodils, this is botanically inaccurate. Here are a few differences between daffodils and jonquils:
Daffodil flowers are typically lightly scented while jonquils are highly perfumed.
Jonquils are predominant and hardier in warmer southern regions, USDA Zones 8 and higher.
Daffodils prefer the colder winter temperatures in Zones 3-8 before blooming in spring.
A jonquil will feature 1-5 golden yellow, fragrant flowers per stem. Each flower’s petals are spread around a small center cup.
Daffodils have distinct trumpets surrounded by six petals with slim-tipped, sword-like foliage. Colors range from bicolored to white, pink, yellow, and orange.
Golden yellow jonquils display slender leaves that are dark green with rounded
