Recently, rare Bingdi lotus flowers appeared in Xi'an Botanical Garden, and citizens came to watch them one after another. Many netizens also forwarded prayers online, hoping to bring good luck. Everyone's love for Bingdi lotus flowers is beyond words. Bingdi lotus is actually a genetic modification of lotus, with two flowers on one stem and connected flower stalks. Therefore, in ancient times, people also had the nickname of Tongxin Hibiscus. The probability of naturally growing lotus flowers with parallel stems is very low, only about one in 100,000. The phenomenon of three flowers with parallel stems or multiple flowers with parallel stems is even rarer and extremely precious.

Since ancient times, lotus flowers have been known as "gentlemen among flowers". Throughout the ages, countless poets have praised the noble character of lotus flowers and left a large number of poems and songs. In addition to literary value, lotus roots and lotus seeds are common foods in people's daily lives. Lotus seeds are also Chinese medicinal materials that nourish the spleen, relieve diarrhea, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves. The flower language of the lotus flower is to unite forever and have a good marriage for a hundred years. Therefore, in many ancient works, it is regarded as a symbol of loyalty and unwavering love. In traditional folk stories, it is regarded as a sign of good luck and joy.

The Bingdi lotus flower blooming in Xi'an Botanical Garden is a new variety carefully cultivated by the breeding research and development personnel of the Botanical Garden of our province. In 2016, it was included in the International Water Lily New Variety Protection List. Although people have been exploring and studying their growth laws and want to cultivate more Bingdi lotus flowers, because the formation of Bingdi lotus flowers is difficult to be controlled by humans, they can only appear randomly and can only be encountered but not sought. The already growing lotus flowers can only be protected. Many botanical gardens choose to make specimens when the lotus flowers are about to wither to preserve them for a longer time, so you can imagine how precious they are.

In contrast, not long ago, rare lotus flowers also appeared in Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, but were secretly picked by foreign tourists. During travel, there are uncivilized behaviors of tourists. We cannot rely solely on external norms. What should be more important is to strengthen the protection of scenic spots and improve the behavioral quality of some tourists. With this as a warning, now, in order to better protect the "three-flower-peed" water lilies, the garden has transplanted them to the Waterscape Garden in the New District of Xi'an Botanical Garden. July and August every year is the most amazing period when lotus flowers bloom, so citizens who want to get happy can check in recently. In addition to the lotus flowers, the "Wang Lian", known as the king of lotus flowers, also quietly blooms in Xi'an Botanical Garden.

Summer is approaching, and Xi'an Botanical Garden is rich in plant species. Whether it is common plant varieties or endangered protected varieties, it is very worth visiting. The park is cool and pleasant. It is not only a good place to cool off from the heat, but also the best channel for parents to take their children to learn about nature. The original Xi'an Botanical Garden has now been relocated to Qujiang New District in Xi'an City. Citizens who come here can take bus No. 37\121\525 to reach the new Botanical Garden. It is hot in summer, so remember to take measures to prevent heatstroke!
