Every year on the eve of the Lunar New Year, cannon flowers bloom. Thousands of orange-red, trumpet-shaped flowers are densely packed like strings of firecrackers hanging over the wall, like orange-red flower waterfalls. On closer inspection, the long tubular corolla of the cannon flower is split into 5 petals, two rows above and below, two lobes on the upper lip are slightly smaller and erect like rabbit ears, and the three lobes on the lower lip are slightly larger and roll backwards when in bloom. After the flowers are thankful, the corolla detaches and slides down along the pistil, but it is "reluctantly" hooked by the pistil, which looks like a golden silk rain from a distance.

Native to Brazil, South America, the cannon flower is a traditional medicinal plant in the south, and after being introduced to China, it became a representative of the festival flower in the south. Year after year, in the city where cannon fire is prohibited, a cannon war flower "fireworks" the passion of the festival
