The flowering period of Gesanghua is not fixed, generally lasting from June to September. Due to the differences of regional climate and environment, the flowering time is early and late, the temperature is higher in low-lying areas, and the flowering time is earlier, while the temperature is lower and the flowering time is later in high-lying areas. The best viewing period is from July to August, when the flowers bloom most abundantly and beautifully, which is the best viewing time.
Gesanghua is also called Gesangmeduo. In Tibetan, "Ge Sang" means "good times" or "happiness", and "Mei Duo" means flowers, so Gesanghua is also called a happy flower. Gesanghua has a high position in the hearts of Tibetan people, and is regarded as a sacred flower symbolizing love and good luck by Tibetan people.
In the long history of Tibet, Gesanghua, as a spirit, exists in the hearts of Tibetan people and becomes a symbol of their pursuit of happiness, auspiciousness and good feelings. Beauty without flattery is often synonymous with describing a strong woman. Because it loves the sunshine on the plateau and is not afraid of cold, wind and frost, it is regarded as the most tenacious wild flower on the plateau. It is also the city flower of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet.
