词汇 | weigela |
词源 | weigela. The long-popular Weigela genus of the honeysuckle family, containing some 12 species, is named for German phy- sician C. E. Weigel (1748–1831). Weigela, sometimes spelled weigelia, is often grouped with the Diervilla genus, the bush honeysuckle, but its bushes have larger, much showier flowers than the latter. Diervilla itself is named for a Dr. Dierville, a French surgeon in Canada. Native to Asia, the weigela bush is easily cultivated in America and Europe. Its funnel-shaped flowers are usually rose-pink but vary in color from white to dark crimson. |
