We can see grass with three leaves in the fields, in front of and behind the house, and even in the flower pots at home. They bloom delicate flowers and bear explosive seeds. Just touch the tiny fruits lightly and their seeds will burst everywhere. Among the three-leaf clover grasses, the most beautiful non-cù [cù] berry grass is none other than the grass. Hello everyone, here is to watch the flowers bloom, I am quiet.
Sorrel is a perennial herbaceous plant of the sorrel family, although native to tropical regions such as South Africa, it is extremely adaptable and rich in varieties, and there are about 500 different kinds of sorrel grass in the world. Their leaves are green, purple, chestnut and variegated. The leaves of sorrel grass contain a lot of folic acid, and the taste is like vinegar, hence its name.
There is also more than one color of sorrel flowers, in addition to yellow but also fuchsia red, white and bicolor.
However, around us, the most common is the sorrel grass with three heart-shaped leaves and small yellow flowers, and only they have explosive seeds.
Every spring, small yellow sorrel grass begins to sprout. Its aboveground stem has a creeping habit and can be branched or rooted.
Three heart-shaped leaflets grow in a circle at the tip of the petiole, and soft short hairs are attached to both the petiole and stem.
In late spring and early summer, slender peduncles protrude from the axils, and small bright yellow flowers grow solitary or in several umbel-shaped inflorescences at the tip of the peduncle. The little flowers are delicate and tender, which makes people feel love.
Sorrel flaviera has a long flowering period and can bloom at all times except for short dormancy in the summer heat and colder days in winter. Its flowers and leaves are extremely sensitive to light and only unfold when there is plenty of light. At night, on rainy days or in poor light, the flowers will close and the leaves will fold downwards and tighten.
The flowers produce tiny cone-shaped capsules, and when the fruit is ripe and the skin bursts, the seeds inside burst violently.
After years of growth, the underground roots of Sorrel Yellowwort will grow bulbs of various sizes. The bulbs store a lot of nutrients, which means that when the weather is too cold or there is a lack of water for a long time, even if all the leaves wither, it does not necessarily die. As long as it returns to a mild, cool environment, it will most likely grow again.
One or two small grasses may not be remarkable, but when a large field covered with yellow sorrel grass unfolds, the scene is quite spectacular and fascinating.
