When does the sweet osmanthus bloom in Hangzhou? When does the "fragrance fill the city"?

Osmanthus, one of China's top ten famous flowers, has been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years. It blooms from September to October, and the fruiting period is in March of the following year. In its 2,000-year history, osmanthus has been used to treat phlegm, cough, asthma, cold abdominal pain, and dysmenorrhea. It can be processed into osmanthus cakes for consumption. Osmanthus cakes have a long history and are also known as Chongyang cakes. There is a poem that says, "Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed and it's Chongyang again, and flower cakes are busy everywhere." It also has ornamental value. Its tree shape is upright and elegant, the crown is "round", and the soft tree shape gives people a sense of stability and peace. Xie Mao of the Song Dynasty described osmanthus as "green clouds cut leaves, low protection of gold", and Gu Ying of the Yuan Dynasty wrote "golden millet is falling like rain". Therefore, osmanthus has always been popular! So the question is, when does the osmanthus bloom in Hangzhou? When does the "fragrance fill the city"? Many friends asked Uncle Cricket, why haven't we smelled the osmanthus yet? In fact, the news of this year's "first osmanthus in Hangzhou" came out last week. This year's first osmanthus is located on the south side of the Sun Square in the Children's Park, opposite the "Star Osmanthus". This year's osmanthus is so late, in fact, because of the weather, the early silver osmanthus in the Children's Park bloomed first a few days ago, but there were not many flowers and the fragrance was very light. At present, most of the osmanthus trees in Hangzhou are still quietly waiting for the "flower fairy" to call. To "fragrance fill the city", the conditions that need to be met are that the phenological index of early autumn osmanthus is that the average temperature is lower than 26°C 10 days before flowering, and the minimum temperature is less than 24°C; the average temperature is lower than 23°C 10 days before the late autumn osmanthus blooms, and the minimum temperature is less than 20°C. That is to say, since the cold air moved south last weekend in Hangzhou, the temperature of the Hangzhou National Benchmark Station has dropped below 26°C from the 21st to the 23rd. The temperature will rise slightly in the next few days. After the 26th, it is not ruled out that the average temperature will be higher than 26°C for 1-2 days, but the average temperature will not be higher than 26°C for the entire second half of September. At the end of the month, due to the reduction of cloud cover in the sky, the temperature difference between day and night can reach about 10°C, which is exactly the weather that osmanthus likes. So from the end of September to the beginning of October, osmanthus in Hangzhou may gradually bloom. That is to say, the "fragrance fills the city" of Hangzhou Osmanthus is basically around the "National Day holiday". Don't miss it if you like it!
