- Abstract
- This study was conducted to provide for an index of flowering record well informed of the flowering state for the white lotus ‘Chungyang’. We have gathered the information about the increase of flowering and the useful utilization of flowering. We have also investigated the flowering type of white lotus ‘Chungyang’ (Nelumbo nucifera). Flowering time of white lotus were 6:10 a m. at 1 day after flowering (DAF), 6:20 a m. at 2 DAF, 6:40 a m. at 3 DAF, and 5:50 a m. at 4 DAF, and closed until 18:00 p.m. Maximum flower diameter at 9:00 a m. at 1 DAF was 22.3 cm, at 11 a m. at 2 DAF 26.5 cm, 10 a m. at 3 DAF 26.6cm, and 9 a m. at 4 DAF 26.7 cm. Number of petals bloomed was 16. Two petals were fallen at 3 DAF and all the petals were withered until 11 a m. at 4 DAF. All the petals flowered upright at 1 DAF, downward at 2 DAF and upright and horizontal at 3 DAF. No petals bloomed downward at 1 and 4 DAF. It was assumed that the flowering type of the white lotus ‘Chungyang’ were striking contrast by the days elapsed after flowering. And it was useful for the flowering record well informed of the flowering state.
