Today, when the number of linen varieties has exceeded 70 thousand, it is difficult to believe that just a couple of centuries ago, delightful red-water was perceived exclusively as a food and medical culture. Indeed, in ancient China, lilac was considered both as a medicinal and as a delicatessen plant. Various delicacies were prepared from its buds, young leaves and even rhizomes. In some countries, fried, stuffed lilac flowers are still on the menu of prestigious restaurants today. However, this amazing plant has long changed its food status to decorative. The genus of lilies is replenished annually with new hybrids. What makes a lilac so happy? This is a flower of joy both day and night. During flowering, 2-3 flowers open daily on one flower, which dry up in the evening, but new buds appear in their place. At the same time, there are night varieties of lilies that bloom until the morning. If evening garden walks are your thing, look out for these views. The general classification of lilanics occurs according to different parameters. According to the growing season, when some peduncles are classified as dormant, others as semi-green or even evergreen. Further - chromosomes (diplo-, tetraploid). Then - by smell, when some give a very bright aroma, while others have practically no smell. Also in shape: they are spider-shaped, terry, corrugated, and so on. There is also a classification by color - eleven groups, by flowering time - early, late and re-flowering.
