Carnation cultivation report

Unique wavy and dense leaves! The way flowers and seeds are made is a little special! ?? You are a little surprised at the unknown side of carnation.

In a sense, the most well-known “Mother’s Day Flower” carnation. But what did that carnation leaf look like with its elegant and artistic jagged petals? Surprisingly, only the shape of the flower is known, but in fact this is quite a strange kind. I would be very happy if you could understand not only the beauty of the appearance but also the fun of its ecology. Oh, I’m late, I’m Stella, a carnation fairy.

Carnation “Weekly” cultivation report

4/11start
Seed planting
Stella
Even if you know the carnation flowers, do you know what the seeds are like? It is a unique whipped cream type, black, small grain and cute seed.
4/19
Germination!
Stella
It takes about a week to germinate. The buds come out relatively quickly.
4/26
The first leaf appears!
Stella
Futaba is normal, isn’t it? At first, it behaves normally to reassure you.
5/3
Leaves spring up one after another!
Stella
The leaves come out with a slight reluctance. Please look at this refrain …
5/8
Leaves, second pair.
Stella
The second pair of leaves. I am very modest even though there are 4 leaves.
5/17
The third pair of leaves appears!
Stella
Finally, the number of leaves is complete. It is a unique “Japanese sword type” that is a little slender and the thickness from the root to the tip does not change.
5/23
Start to bend!
Stella
While everyone thinks that they will grow up straight and straight, I am a little out of my life. The leaves began to bend and bend, and the leaves began to grow in all directions without being aware of each other, and the whole became crisp.
5/31
Leaves start to get entangled!
Stella
I noticed that the number of leaves has increased considerably, but it still feels incoherent. She says, “I thought she was solid, but she’s actually a woman who can’t get rid of it.”
6/7
A brightly colored bush stands.
Stella
I’ve been crawling on the ground for a full two months, but now it’s finally starting to grow. Can I stretch my spine a little?
6/14
Stems are formed and begin to grow upwards!
Stella
It’s nice to grow up, but the atmosphere is suspicious as a whole because each leaf has begun to grow longer and the swelling has increased. It’s like a space plant, but I’m sorry, I’m a carnation. .. ..
6/20
The number of leaves increases and the height also increases
Stella
I’m getting more and more crunchy.
6/28
Stem growth complete
Stella
As I suddenly remembered, I started to grow taller, but in just over two weeks I grew up to be “adult tall”. Well, wait, we will start preparing flowers. The leaves are still crunchy.
7/4
Buds appear
Stella
The carnation buds stick to the tip of the stem like a forest dwarf’s hat. It is often said that it is cute, in contrast to the mocha mocha leaves. In contrast to the mocha mocha leaves.
7/12
Buds start to grow one after another
Stella
It is a bud rush. This also begins to be done all at once, as I remembered.
7/19
Flowering!
Stella
First, Ichirin, then Ichirin, and after a while, Ichirin, and for some reason, it blooms little by little. The buds can be made all at once, but the flowering is sloppy … basically strange.
7/26
Flowering a la carte
Stella
Red, crimson, pink and white … During this time, it has become a member of the gorgeous flowers, turning from the unfamiliar leafy plants of Moshamosha. Carnation is a luxurious and loving flower that is suitable for expressing gratitude to my mother, such as the heavy petals that bloom in eight layers, the beautiful color beauty, and the unique jagged shape reminiscent of mosaic art.(Self-praise)
8/1
Pollination
Stella
At the same time as the flowering, bees make a noise and flock to the petals where they were. It’s a loving sight.
8/8
Seeds at the root
Stella
Another feature of carnations is that the seeding method after pollination has changed a little. Normally, the fruit is produced, but carnation is a lean structure in which the root of the flower becomes a seed bunch.
8/15
Seed bunch completed
Stella
Pay attention to the pink carnation on the right. Pollination has already ended, and the roots of the flowers swell to become seed bunches, but what I want to say here is that once pollination is complete, there is no need to dress up anymore. Fufufu. Once pollinated, you don’t need crimson or pink makeup anymore. The flowers have fallen off, and again there are only straight seed bunches and fluffy leaves. It is nonsense to have the illusion that you can keep up with this beauty forever.
8/23
Disperse the seeds and finish
Stella
After pollination, make seeds, gently open the mouth of the seed bunch, sprinkle the seeds and finish. The speed of this transformation is said to be magical, as the ice melts under the scorching sun of midsummer and withers with haste.
