The rose, known as the "queen of flowers", can be seen everywhere in rural courtyards and is deeply loved by people. It is famous for its strong adaptability. It is both cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and not picky about soil conditions. It can thrive even in ordinary garden soil in rural areas. The rose has a long flowering period, lasting from late spring to early winter. Its flowers are colorful, including red, pink, yellow, and white. And the flower shapes are also diverse. The single-petaled ones are fresh while the double-petaled ones are gorgeous, each with its own charm. Whether planted in the corner of the courtyard or placed in pots at the door or on the windowsill, it can become a beautiful landscape.

Impatiens balsamina has the affectionate nickname of "nail flower" in rural areas and carries the childhood memories of many people. This flower has a high adaptability to the environment. It likes sunny, warm, and humid environments and also has a certain tolerance for shade. It can grow well even in the semi-shaded corners of the courtyard. The seeds of Impatiens balsamina are easy to preserve and sow. In spring, just scatter the seeds into the soil, and soon you can see them break through the soil and grow vigorously. Its flowers are rich in colors, such as pink, red, purple, and white. The petals are as delicate as silk, and the flower shapes are like butterflies dancing gracefully. What's more interesting is that the petals of Impatiens balsamina can be used to dye fingernails, bringing endless fun to women and children.

Hollyhock is a representative of tall flowers in rural courtyards. Its plant can grow to a height of more than two meters, giving people a tall and magnificent feeling. The adaptability of hollyhock is also very strong. It is both cold-resistant and heat-resistant and can grow well under various soil conditions. Its flowering period is in summer. The flowers bloom one after another along the stem from bottom to top. There are many flower colors, including red, pink, yellow, white, and purple. The flowers are large and gorgeous, and their shapes are similar to trumpets, which are very eye-catching. The seeds of hollyhock will fall off naturally when they are mature, and they will germinate and grow by themselves in the next spring, almost without any manual management.

Where there are ponds or water tanks in rural areas, planting lotuses is a good choice. As an outstanding aquatic flower, the lotus likes sunny environments with moderate water depth. Its flowers are large and beautiful, with colors of white, pink, and red. The petals are delicate and charming, and the stamens are golden and bright. The leaves of the lotus are broad and round, floating on the water surface or standing out of the water, adding some vitality and charm to the pond. Planting lotuses can not only beautify the environment but also purify the water quality, adding a unique charm to rural courtyards.
