Features: This book includes 167 supplementary and new plant species, providing detailed descriptions of each plant's scientific name, common names, morphology, flowering period, suitable soil, growth characteristics, propagation methods, and cultivation highlights. In this series of books, the Chinese names of flowers and plants follow the principle of one flower per name, but some commercial names or colloquial names of flowers and plants with strong representativeness are also included. The photographs are all taken from actual specimens, with electronic scanning and color separation, and printed in the original version. The floral poses and appearances leap off the page, differing greatly from commercially reproduced copies. The propagation methods and cultivation tips are mostly based on the climate, plant 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 include dozens of sources, striving for perfection. If there are any errors or omissions, we sincerely hope that advanced readers will kindly point them out. The book collects a wide variety of plant species with exquisite and lifelike images. It provides 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 climate conditions with parts of South China, Southwest China, and East China. Most of the plants introduced in this book can be cultivated on the mainland. We hope this book will serve as an important reference for landscape workers, students and teachers in related fields, and plant enthusiasts.
