Abstract: In order to monitor and manage the growth of large-scale and different kinds of flowers in real time, a design scheme of intelligent flower management system based on Zigbee ad hoc network was proposed. The system consists of Zigbee sensor network, optical fiber supplement, solar power supply, water storage and water level detection. In the sensor network of the system, the sensor nodes are grouped and numbered to distinguish different flower growth information. The data are collected and processed by coordinator. The user inquires the flower information by inputting the number on the mobile terminal. The project also has the function of optical fiber to supplement light in some areas with insufficient lighting, to promote photosynthesis, so that plants can grow normally. The project can achieve water-saving effect by watering different kinds of plants in different degrees and combining with rainwater storage part. The energy-consuming pumps in the system are supplied by solar energy to achieve energy-saving purposes. The system has the characteristics of green environmental protection and intelligent management, and has a good application prospect for large-scale places of flowers.

0 Introduction
With the improvement of living conditions, people’s requirements for the living and working environment are getting higher and higher. Especially for places with a large flow of people such as hotels, guesthouses, and office buildings, due to the characteristics of flowers in purifying air, reducing indoor noise, and cultivating sentiment, more and more people regard the scale of flowers as an important standard for measuring environmental comfort. Many places with a large flow of people create a good environment by planting a large number of flowers. However, due to the large scale of planting, taking care of them becomes a complicated project, and managing them also requires expensive labor costs. If management is not effective, it will lead to the death of flowers, resulting in huge economic losses. Moreover, traditional smart pots only target single potted plants and have the disadvantages of wasting water and electricity. Based on the above situation, this paper designs an irrigation system based on Zigbee network. Through the Zigbee network, information collection and aggregation of each flower pot are realized, solar panels provide power for the device, and rainwater is collected to provide water sources for irrigation. By connecting via Bluetooth, mobile phones can observe the status of each flower pot and set watering values. Compared with products on the market, it has great advantages in plant care and energy saving. Zigbee tracking solar energy can achieve energy-saving, water-saving, and efficient effects, realizing intelligent management of each flower pot, which is unmatched by similar domestic products.
Conclusion
This paper collects the growth environment information of each flower through the Zigbee network, analyzes and judges the information, and makes corresponding responses. This allows for scientific and real-time management of flowers. Especially with the introduction of the Zigbee network, it expands IoT technology into flower management, which has great application prospects for large-scale flower places. The solar energy and rainwater collection system also makes the equipment more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, with certain market potential, and can provide reference value for intelligent plant irrigation in greenhouse irrigation, garden irrigation, and indoor flower human-computer interaction systems.
