(1) Flower growth period: Generally speaking, it refers to the time from sowing (transplanting) to seed maturity. Expressed in days required. The whole growth period of flowers can be divided into: vegetative growth period dominated by vegetative organs such as roots, stems and leaves, and reproductive growth period dominated by reproductive organs such as flowers, fruits and seeds.

(2) Flowering period: usually refers to the season or month when plants bloom every year. For example, camellia, plum blossom, crab claw lotus, rhododendron, freesia, calla lily, cyclamen and cymbidium bloom in February.

Peanut long term: that is, the time from sowing to maturity of plants. Unit: day.

[Flowering period]: The period when all parts of a flower are mature, from the time when the flower opens and the pistil and stamen are exposed from the perianth to the time when pollination and fertilization are completed and the flower withers. The flowering period of different flowers and plants varies greatly. Flowering requires suitable temperature and sufficient sunshine, and unfavorable conditions such as low temperature and rainy weather will affect flowering, pollination and fertilization, resulting in flower drop, fruit drop and empty grains. Generally, the flowering period of cereal crops is short, only 3~ 10 days, while that of leguminous plants is long, about 10~30 days.

For example, plants that bloom in January include Nandina domestica, Plum Blossom, Poinsettia, Clivia, Narcissus, Chimonanthus praecox, Freesia, Calla lily, Cyclamen cyclamen, Papaya, Begonia all year round and so on.

[Plant growth period]: the time required for the whole growth and development process of plants from sowing to emergence to maturity and harvest. The length of plant growth period is not only mainly determined by its heredity, but also related to the climatic conditions and cultivation techniques in the cultivation areas. For example, plants sown in autumn and winter grow slowly and have a long growth period because of the low temperature in winter. Due to the high temperature, plants sown in spring and summer grow fast and have a short growth period. The same variety is planted at different latitudes, and the growth period also changes due to different temperatures and light.
