Wan zi qianhong is always spring, and at this time, in the Yueyan state-owned forest farm in Daoxian County, there are many kinds of purple.
The steepness of the Yueyan State-owned Forest Farm is daunting, but every April, the cloud-and-brocade azaleas bloom everywhere in the mountains, always arousing the desire of tourists to conquer it.
In the cloud brocade cuckoo, the red is brilliant, the white is elegant, and the purple gives people a mysterious feeling, such as purple clouds, like purple smoke rising.
A cluster of large flag-petaled hydrangeas is the most interesting purple, with its head, wings, tail, and feet like a phoenix. The petals are purple or pinkish purple, of which the kidney-shaped one is the "flag petal", and the 2 small axe-shaped "wing flaps" are shaped like rhinoceros horn cups and the base is extended to form a long and inward curved distance, called the "lip flap".
Also blooming purple are the locust seven. On the mossy stones, or two or three flowers in a bunch, or four or five flowers in a row, the leaves are thick and thick, fluffy, and it is very special to the touch. Why is such a cute and chic flower called Locust Seven? Maybe it has something to do with its rhizome, which resembles an ant and has striated stripes.
