Features: This book includes 180 newly added species, providing detailed descriptions of each plant's scientific name, common name, morphology, flowering period, suitable soil, growth characteristics, propagation methods, and cultivation tips, accompanied by over 250 exquisite color illustrations. It offers strong practical value and high reference value. The Chinese names of flowers and plants in this series follow the principle of one flower, one name, but some commercial names or common names of flowers and plants with strong representativeness are also included. The photographs are all taken of actual specimens, with electronic scanning and color separation, and printed in their original form. The floral poses and appearances leap off the page, differing greatly from commercially reproduced versions. The propagation methods and cultivation tips are mostly based on the climatic conditions, growth habits, and practical cultivation management of South China. The scientific names are recognized by scholars and experts in Chinese and international horticulture, and are further reviewed by plant taxonomist Mr. Chen Deshun. The references cited are numerous, striving for perfection. Any errors or omissions are sincerely hoped to be pointed out by advanced readers. The book collects a wide variety of plant species with beautiful and realistic illustrations, offering concise and clear introductions to the morphology, ornamental features, growth habits, propagation methods, and cultivation tips of various landscape plants, making it highly ornamental and practical. Taiwan shares similar climatic conditions with parts of South China, Southwest China, and East China. Most of the plants introduced in the book can be cultivated in mainland China. It is hoped that this book will provide important references for landscape workers, students and teachers in related fields, and plant enthusiasts.
