Why not grow common white jasmine?
为什么不种点常见的茉莉花呢?
You can raise it as either a bush or a vine.

Jasmine vines produce more flowers than jasmine bushes, but they need a frame to grow on.

If you grow them on a frame over a path, the path will soon have a cover of white, sweet-smelling flowers.
如果你在小路上用支架种植,小路很快就布满芳香的百花。
Jasmine is not just for tea.

These trees can grow to be over 12 metres tall.

In early spring, they are covered with white blossoms which are more than 12 centimetres wide.
在早春,玉兰开满白花,花有十二多厘米宽。
After the blossoms fall off, green leaves cover the trees all summer.
花朵凋谢后,整个夏天树叶满枝。
In autumn, these leaves change to red and orange before they litter the ground with colour.
在秋天,这些叶子变成红色和橘黄色后飘落下来,将大地装点得色彩缤纷。
The Yulan magnolia is ideal for cool, moist climates.
玉兰是适合凉爽,潮湿气候的理想植物。
If you have no idea what to grow, you could plant a golden ball cactus.

You could keep it in your house, or plant it outside where it can grow to be more than 60 centimetres tall.
你可以在室内种,也可以在场所有六十多厘米高的户外种植。
