Flowers, perhaps, are those plants that fill a person’s life with pleasant emotions, bright colors and unforgettable moments. Therefore, they are used to refine summer cottages, flower beds, grown at home in pots, they decorate the interior. In a word, without flowers - no way.
They are different. The classification is carried out taking into account certain criteria: color fastness, absence or presence of odor, perianth color. So, all types of flowers are divided into annual and perennial, same-sex and bisexual. Annuals, as a rule, bloom from the earliest spring to mid-autumn. Perennial - an average of about a month.
Same-sex plants have only one reproductive organ - either a pistil or stamen. Bisexual (hermaphrodites) include those in which the female and male genital organs (for example, snowdrops) develop in the same flower.
Such types of flowers are distinguished as photophilous, shade-loving and shade-tolerant. The first includes those plants that require sunlight or brightly lit places, because they tolerate only slight dimming. In the case of a lack of light, the development and flowering of this species of plants either slows down very much or stops altogether.
The second species loves shade, so it grows and develops well in dark places and poorly lit. Representatives of this species are universal, since they can grow quite normally both in illuminated open areas and in rather shaded corners.
There are types of flowers (depending on the thermophilic) cold-resistant and thermophilic. The first type includes flowers that tolerate well enough low temperatures and cold. For the germination of their seeds, only five to eight degrees above zero is enough.
Heat-loving flowers, on the contrary, do not like cold at all. That is why it is necessary to either pre-grow them in the room, and then plant seedlings directly in the open ground, or sow after the cessation of cold weather. Some of them are resistant to short-term autumn frosts.
It should be noted that some agricultural techniques allow you to slightly change certain temperature conditions. For example, in the summer, mulching with wood shavings and sawdust is carried out, and in the spring - with peat. In addition, a variety of temporary shelters are created using films and certain heat-insulating materials.
But all kinds of flowers in one way or another need moisture, which is the main element in maintaining the growth and nutrition of the plant. Most of them often get sick with its lack. But for some, excess moisture is often fatal, since it leads to a deterioration of aeration directly in the soil.
Therefore, it is so important to consider all the criteria by which the classification of colors into certain types is carried out. This will make the garden not only beautiful, but also bright, unfading and lush.
Although they distinguish separately and types of garden flowers. There are also annuals and perennials. But there are still bulbous, tuberous or tuberous. The first have underground organs in the form of bulbs, so they can grow in one place for several years and winter in the open ground.
Tuberous flowers are distinguished by the fact that their underground organ is formed in the form of a tuber or corm. Every year they need to be dug out of the open ground, since they cannot winter there, save in storage, and plant again in the spring.
If you do not use botanical definitions, then the types of home flowers are conventionally divided into blooming, ornamental and succulents. It is the flowering plants that enjoy large beautiful flowers for a fairly long period that are very popular, in contrast to the cut bouquet.
Decorative views differ not only in interesting colors, but sometimes very bright foliage. And succulents (cacti and aloe) have an unusual appearance, soothing and healing properties.
