Core Points - The article discusses the phenomenon of early blooming flowers, specifically the early flowering of wax plums and mountain peaches in Beijing's parks due to temperature changes [1][3][8] Group 1: Early Blooming Phenomenon - The wax plums, known as "October plums," typically bloom in late October but have started blooming nearly a month early this year [3][5] - The early blooming of these flowers has attracted many visitors and photography enthusiasts to the National Botanical Garden [5][7] - Similarly, mountain peaches, which usually bloom in March, have also started to flower early, adding color to the winter landscape [8][11] Group 2: Environmental Factors - The unusual blooming is attributed to recent low temperatures and strong winds before winter, which have affected the plants' growth cycles [5][14] - The concept of "effective accumulated temperature" is crucial for flowering; flowers bloom when they perceive that spring has arrived due to sufficient warmth [14][18] - The interaction of warm and cold air currents in the region has contributed to the conditions necessary for these flowers to bloom in winter [16][18] Group 3: Visitor Experience - The early blooming flowers provide a unique experience for visitors, allowing them to enjoy winter flower viewing, which is typically rare [16][20] - The phenomenon has sparked curiosity among the public, leading to increased interest in observing plant behaviors during different seasons [13][20]

Core Viewpoint - The flower industry in Henan province, particularly in cities like Nanyang, Luoyang, and Kaifeng, is experiencing growth but faces challenges in production levels, transaction models, and the need for value-added products [1][4][15].

Group 3: Innovations and Trends - The flower industry is shifting from traditional sales methods to e-commerce and live streaming, with online sales currently accounting for less than 20% of transactions [10][12]. - Companies are encouraged to adopt digital technologies to enhance the efficiency of flower production and sales, aiming for a transformation from "product sales" to "horticultural lifestyle services" [14]. - The introduction of new technologies and equipment is improving production processes, such as the drying of peony flowers, which has doubled efficiency [7][8].
