Today I finally learned that this flower tree is called Dragon's Tooth Flower
Every year in early summer passing by this roadside garden to see the tree blood red flowers, asked a lot of people do not know the name of the flower, today specially drove over to find out, parked the car, walked to the roadside garden, took out the mobile phone to identify, and finally knew its flower name: ivory flower.
Dragon's tooth flowers are also known as coral thorns because they are numerous and gorgeous when they bloom, just like corals in the sea. Dragon's tooth flowers are dazzling because of their bright red color. From a distance, it looks like a branch of red tusks protruding from the green leaves, so it is called ivory red. When the dragon's tooth flower blooms, the machete-shaped red flowers are as high as the feathers on the head of the rooster, so it is called the rooster tree. Dragon's Tooth Flower in the autumn plant full of small leaves, winter leaves fall, according to legend, early farmers rely on its four seasons to distinguish the year and the moon, so it is called the four seasons of the tree.
The symbol of Argentina's national flower, the ivory flower
Ivory red is the national flower of Argentina, also known as the Cypriot flower, during the Spanish colonial rule, the Indians in the La Plata region constantly rebelled. Legend has it that in a battle, an Indian tribal chieftain was killed, and her daughter Anayi stepped forward to direct the battle and fight the Spanish colonists to the death, and she was eventually captured. The Spanish colonists tied Anayi to a Sepo tree and burned her to death. Anayi was generous and righteous in the midst of a raging fire. At this time, the trees that have not yet reached the flowering stage suddenly bloom with a bunch of red flowers like fire and blood. In 1942, Argentina passed a decree officially establishing the Cypriot as the national flower of Argentina.
Cultivation of ivory flowers
Dragon's tooth red leaves are sparse, flowering around the Spring Festival, dark red total shape, gorgeous and dazzling, suitable for park and courtyard planting, if potted plants can be used to decorate the indoor environment. In addition, the bark contains dragon's tooth anthocyanin, which can be used medicinally and has anesthetic and sedative effects. Bark and fresh seed sap can damage the nervous system of animals, and misdirection can cause dizziness.
It turns out that the origin of the ivory flower is quite meaningful, I quickly took some photos of it to share with friends to see, in the blue sky against the background of the ivory flowers appear particularly bright and bright, willing to bring everyone a good mood [smile] [smile]
