Features: This series of books is licensed from Taiwan, comprising 14 volumes. Each volume provides a detailed introduction to the scientific name, common name, morphology, flowering period, suitable planting soil, growth characteristics, propagation methods, and cultivation highlights of each plant. The plants included are all existing cultivated varieties in China, and their planting conditions and care techniques are achievable domestically. This series is richly illustrated and highly practical, serving as a reference for landscape workers, flower and plant producers, and students and teachers of related fields.
The Chinese names of flowers and plants in this series follow the principle of one flower per name, but some commercial names or common names with strong representativeness are also included. The photographs are all actual photographs, digitally scanned and color-separated, printed from the original versions, with the flowers' postures and appearances vividly presented on the pages, differing greatly from pirated copies available in the market. The propagation methods and cultivation tips are mostly discussed based on the climatic conditions, growth habits, and practical cultivation management of South China. The scientific names are based on the names 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. If there are any errors or omissions, we sincerely hope that experts will kindly point them out.
This book collects a wide variety of plant species with exquisite and lifelike illustrations. It provides concise and clear introductions to the morphological characteristics, ornamental features, growth habits, propagation methods, and cultivation tips of various landscape plants, making it highly ornamental and practical. The climatic conditions of Taiwan are similar to those of South China, Southwest China, and parts of East China. Most of the plants introduced in this book can be cultivated in mainland China. We hope this book can provide an important reference for landscape workers, students and teachers of related fields, and plant enthusiasts.
