Daily Notes of Talf's House｜It rains during the Qingming Festival

The small open space on the balcony of the house belongs to the exclusive plantation of the wife, such as mint, rosemary, basil, carnation, etc. At present, except for the mint that grows everywhere like weeds, the rest have their own small world.

I think I'm not a green finger, so I'm only responsible for helping with the small task of weeding and weeding. About a month ago, I found a sprout of a plant in a pot that didn't look like my wife's. I thought it was a weed, but it was not the same. , and finally the wife decided to let him grow and see what kind of gifts the birds brought.

It wasn't until last week that I confirmed with my wife that this plant is actually a "striped grass" that only blooms during the Qingming Festival! The flowers will be coiled up with the flower stems, which has a unique Chinese aesthetic feeling, so it is also called Panlong ginseng. It is a rare native species of small wild orchids in Taiwan. It's amazing how nature produces more flowers and increases the chance of pollination to produce seeds.

In addition, sagebrush is a folk medicinal plant, so it was collected excessively in the past, and it is listed in the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora". Because of the crisis of survival, he began to engage in tissue culture research and expanded reproduction to give full play to the health and ornamental value of this beautiful little orchid.

Maybe I really didn't notice it before, it was the first time I saw this flower. In any case, the visit of this flower makes people happy, looking forward to its blooming arrival😃
