Before I met the golden plum, I had seen the hypericum, word for word, the flowers were also bright yellow, long and dense filaments like beautiful eyelashes, at first I was a little suspicious that they were two names of the same plant, in the process of looking for pictures, I found that they were only similar, not exactly the same.
The petals of the golden plum are like plum blossoms, the flower buds are short and thick, concentrated to the center, and the flowering period is from April to July
The petals of hypericum are slender, and the flower buds are thinner and longer, spreading like fireworks, and the flowering period is from May to August
The flower buds of hypericum are longer and higher than the calyx, and the flower buds of the golden plum occupy only two-fifths or one-half of the petal height.
Judging from the shape of the flowers, the golden plum is round and the hypericum is slender. Also, the petals of the hypericum are slightly droopy.

Golden plum and hypericum are close relatives of the same family, so it is not surprising that they look similar, and can be distinguished by flowers.
Golden plum is a semi-evergreen or evergreen shrub of the genus Hypericum in the Garcinia cambogia family, which flowers from June to July each year. It is mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other places in China, and it is also distributed in Japan.
In the "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" - hypericum; "Journey of Dian Qian" - Forsythia in the Erhai Sea; "Botanical Names and Facts" - Yunnan Forsythia; "Hunan Medicine" - Bee King, Fine Forsythia; "Guizhou Folk Prescription Medicine Collection" - Big Crossing Huang; "Yunnan Chinese Herbal Medicine" - small yellow flowers, yellow flowers, yellow flowers, yellow fruit, tulianqiao, mountain gardenia, planting flowers.
There are also several aliases that do not come from the unknown source - broken hemorrhoid fruit, fragrant grasping tree, and mango flower.
There are 64 species in this genus, of which 33 are native species, which are widely distributed in the mainland, but the most concentrated in the southwest region of the continent.
Several species in the genus Hypericum have the nickname "Mango Flower", which clearly indicates that the Mango seed is their full flowering period before and after.
From the provenance of these names, it can be seen that golden plum is a common medicinal herb, the whole plant can be medicated, can clear heat, detoxify, anti-inflammatory and sterile, colds, tonsillitis, toothache, bruises, hepatitis has a curative effect.
I don't know if you have ever heard of the willow flute, that is, to use the leaves of the willow tree to blow out the tune, of course, not all people have this skill, the leaves of the golden plum can also be blown like willow leaves, this little trick little fun seems to no longer belong to this era, people's happiness began to move away from the mountains and nature, moving elsewhere. But this pleasure from nature is still the most primitive, precious, and accessible pleasure for me, and it is also the clearer and clearer direction in my heart.
It is also more and more found that tired of getting along with people, unwilling to spend a little effort to maintain any relationship that makes them uncomfortable, more comfortable in a corner, looking at a leaf green, looking at a red, is the ideal for the rest of life.
If you've ever seen the golden plum up close, you're bound to find that where there is a golden plum, there are always swarms of bees because they love its pollen.
There are always some problems that seem to be unsolvable for a moment and a half, and there are always things that always seem to be unsatisfactory, but they will all pass and will get better.
So, face it optimistically.
When I became a mature adult, he became a child again.
Shines brightly like a golden plum, hates sadness as much as it does, and is always happy.
