I heard that the measuring scale blooms at 10 p.m. Sure enough, the little guy had just quietly opened.

It was 10:30 p.m., rushing to the depths of the alley to take a picture.

The flowers bloomed tonight, not to my surprise. As the day passed, looking at its bulging and shy look, I had a premonition that it was going to blossom.

Thinking that since it is Qingguoxi City, there should be many people at 10 o'clock at night, and the security brother has not rested, so he runs to see the flowers alone.

When we arrived at the alley, we found that XiShi had long since dispersed, leaving only the camping guests, drinking beer while catching mosquitoes.

Crouch down carefully to see what it looks like in bloom, the calyx is the shape of a petal, lilac, lobed lanceolate rolled outward; The petals are thin like gauze wings, they are pure white with several layers, and the upper end of the flower is narrow and lanceolate; Inside the flowers, most of them are milky white stamens, as long as the flowers.

Lanterns at night emit a dim dim light. I looked at the measuring scale flower with the light, and suddenly felt that the light was so bright that it seemed to want to close the little face.

At this time, I was surprised to find that the flower measuring the ruler was not surprised because the light shone on it. It seems to be bowing its head in silent protest, feeling that the beauty of its life has been suppressed; When I turned off the light, the measuring scale flower looked up and bloomed quietly.

Crouch quietly like this, with a subtle heart to experience, measure the flowers of the heavenly ruler, there is also joy and sorrow.

The flower blooms quietly in the night, and its stamens make noise and sing in the middle of the night, making the deserted alleys more lively than when there are people.

Trivia:

Measuring scale flowers, native to Mexico, are perennial climbing plants.

Its stem has irregular branches, the edges are wavy shapes, and the edges are small spikes, which are degenerate leaves.

The flowers often bloom at night and are large, about 20 cm long.

The flower tastes a little sweet, and it is edible like the ephemeral flower, and its flowering period is from May to August, and the fruit period is from August to October.

How to collect: Collect flowers in summer and autumn, cut them longitudinally (connected at the base), steam them slightly and dry them in the sun.

Measuring the scale into medicine: Originally seen in the "Lingnan Medicine Record", as a medicinal material can relieve qi pain, phlegm and fire cough.

The last two are a few hours ago in the afternoon, before the little guy blossoms. Such buds are about to bloom!
