The fruit shape of these plants looks more colorful, some red, some black, some yellow, all kinds of strange, each with its own style. However, when eaten, it can make people's lips and teeth fragrant and endless aftertaste.
Back to the point, what I share with you today is a plant that can be eaten. We call it mountain lychee here, of course, there are some places called it: stone jujube, and some call it: "sheep plum". In fact, its real scientific name is called Sizhaohua.
The edible part is its ripe fruit. Purple-red, sweet and delicious, and some people use it as a material for winemaking.
Why is the four-photo flower called the four-photo flower?
Most plants are named after their external features, such as cloves, which are named cloves because they bloom like small nails. The same is true of the four flowers.
Before the flowers bloom, four white bracts grow and extend in four directions, so they are called four flowers. But the flowers of the four flowers are not these four white flakes, and its flowers grow on the round ball in the middle, which is very small.
What are the characteristics of the four-photo flower?
In addition to its flowers and flower bracts are more special, the color of the four flower bracts is also relatively unusual. Its flower bracts are white when they first open, and slowly there will be some red dots, and finally they will completely turn water red.
In addition, the leaves and fruits of the four-photo flower are also very distinctive. First of all, the leaves of the four-photo flower are raw and thick to the touch, like a book.
Looking at its fruit, it is red and lustrous, not only the favorite of birds, but also the exclusive favorite of many foodies, its taste is sweet, so many people like to eat. Anyway, I prefer to eat.
What is the value of the four flowers?
First of all, when the buds of the four flowers bloom, the trees are all white, as if they are full of butterflies, which is very beautiful. So its ornamental value is beyond doubt.
Another is its edible value. Its fruit is lightly washed and can be used directly for consumption. It can also be used for winemaking. In addition, the flowers and fruits of the four flowers have certain medicinal value and are plants that have great benefits to human health. Finally, its wood is also tough and durable, and can be used as carving material.
