Lobelia, the scientific name of Lobelia, is called Liu Beili in transliteration. It is called Lobelia because the flowers are naturally and wonderfully unbalanced, and only half of them bloom. But this does not affect its status, on the contrary, it is more flesh-and-blood and easier to be remembered. Because of this, Lobelia is also a frequent visitor at the horticultural flower show. Let's take a look at the flower language of Lobelia!

Flower language of lobelia chinensis

It is not necessarily a pity to be free, careless and incomplete.

Lobelia chinensis is a perennial creeping herb of Lobelia of Campanulaceae. Alternate leaves elliptic-lanceolate, with short or no petiole. Lobelia chinensis is a kind of wild grass, which generally grows on paddy fields, ditches and wet grasslands, mainly distributed in the middle, lower reaches and southern provinces of the Yangtze River. It is also distributed in other Asian countries east of India, which is also the source of its "free" flower language.

Gentleman's grass

Lobelia chinensis is called Lobelia chinensis because it is plain when it blooms, but it looks like a lotus, but it breaks and sees half. Although Lobelia chinensis grows in the wet corner of the ridge pond or beside the water ditch, its stems and vines are weak and crawling on the ground, and it is incomplete, but the sunshine and rain make it humble to other wild flowers and weeds around it. But also a life-saving grass, which can cure other people's snakes and other nameless swelling drugs.

This spirit of "sunshine and rain in the world, but sunshine and rain" is indeed described as "the grass of a gentleman". Lobelia chinensis prostrate on the ground like a wronged, but it is full of vitality. Such humility is to thank heaven and earth for their kindness, not to be subordinated to flowers and vines. I have my own disability, but I can treat others' snake disease and nameless swelling poison. This kind of lobelia chinensis is really a "gentleman's grass" and a beautiful grass!

Incompleteness is not necessarily a pity.

There are five petals of Lobelia chinensis, and two smaller petals stand up like rabbit ears. Compared with other normal flowers, it seems that only half of them are blooming, but even so, Lobelia chinensis has not been affected in the least. Its flowers are small and dense, which can produce spectacular flower landscapes in spring. It is also a frequent visitor at many horticultural flower shows and is often used to arrange flower beds and creative landscapes. This implies that you don't care too much about your shortcomings.
