#Challenge30 days to write a diary in the headlines #Flower appreciation culture began in the pre-Qin period, experienced the development and "refining" of the two Han dynasties, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was well popularized in the Sui and Tang dynasties. By the Song Dynasty, it basically reached the "heyday" period, and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the flower appreciation culture can be said to have reached the "perfect" period.

Nowadays, the "flower lovers" who appreciate flowers and raise flowers are more popular, and the market demand is increasing. Many places attach importance to and cultivate the development of the flower industry as a "pillar" industry for rural revitalization, and make a new pattern of "beauty business". It not only beautifies the mountain village but also enriches the villagers, injecting new vitality and impetus into rural revitalization.
In this issue, Qingjiang Crane will focus on and chat with all the relatives and teachers about those "exotic flowers and plants" in the "flower world", see how many you know? Of course, there are many kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the world, not only limited to the things listed by the Qingjiang crane. After reading, you can also share different "exotic flowers and plants" in the comment area to share with readers.
Qingjiang He's early picture and text "Have You Seen These Carnivorous Plants with Seemingly Elegant Temperament but But Are They "Ruthless and Spicy", respectively introduced the "exotic flowers and exotic grasses" plants, "pitcher plants", "flytrap grass", "drosera", "bottle grass", and so on. Interested friends can climb the stairs to read and actively participate in interactive comments.

"Nepenthesis" that can "eat" 100 bugs a year:
"Nepenthesis" was originally a wild weed, but under the "edification" of its harsh growth environment, it has refined a magnificent "noble weed" that has changed from "vegetarian" to "meat-eating."
At present, " Nepenthes " has been domesticated and cultivated in "boudoirs" for ornamental flowers. In many green parks, leisure and entertainment places, and public green spaces, there are also "pitcher plants" planted, isolated or supporting plants.
According to relevant information, an ordinary "pitcher plant", a "insect trap" can "catch" more than 100 insects in an annual cycle. Therefore, keeping "pitcher plants" at home or hanging them at home can be used to "kill" all kinds of flies and insects, and play the role of "green guards."

"Shellfish" insect hunter "flycatcher":
The power of "flytrap grass" is that its "metamorphosis leaves" can make nutrients and can also be used to "catch insects".
When the bug climbs into its "bean trap" that looks like a shell, the "induction hair" will melt the closing "mechanism" of the "insect trap" and quickly close, and the bug will "bite" in the "insect trap" of "10 fingers interlocked".
The more the worm struggles, the tighter the catcher buckle. Then there is a "digestive juice" in the clip to gradually "melt" the worm, turning the bug into various nutrients needed for the growth and development of the "flytrap".

The appearance is high-value, crystal clear "Drosera":
The "attraction" of "Drosera" is its "glandular hair", which can secrete both "honey" and "digestive juice". On the surface, it is a "metamorphosed leaf" of "Drosera," but in fact it is a proper "insect catcher" that makes many "beauty-loving" bugs die in the "gentle township" "with pleasure and sincerity."
The glandular hair of "Drosera" is extremely sensitive, and its appearance is high, and it often attracts insects that come to "collect honey" for the bright red color.
Once the worm touches the "body fluid" on its "glandular hair", its glandular hair will deeply "stick" the worm and "wrap" it with bodily fluids, and the worm will struggle to be "trapped" (wrapped) deeper and stickier and tighter.
At the same time, the digestive juice secreted on the glandular hair quickly "hydrolyzes" the worm until it no longer moves.

"Bottle grass" that looks like a "vase":
The leaves of "bottle grass" are as peculiar and interesting as the "insect trap" of "pitcher grass".
The leaves of the "bottle grass" are also "deformed" "insect traps," but behind this "insect trap" is not as emotional as the "vase," but a "sharp weapon" for catching insects.
The inner mouth wall of "bottle grass" can secrete a sweet honey liquid that "lure" insects to slide from the "mouth of the bottle" to the "bottom of the bottle".
"Inside the bottle" there are "inverted hairs" and digestive juices. The function of the barbed hair is to prevent insects from crawling out of the "bottom of the vase" through the inner wall of the vase to the bottle mouth to "escape", and "trapping" insects in the bottle.
The digestive juice at the bottom of the vase can quickly "liquelyze" the insects to produce nutrients and supply the needs of various nutrients for the growth and development of the aboveground plants of the "bottle grass".

The flowers are as white as jade, and the fragrant "jasmine" is overflowing:
"Fragrant jasmine" is a perennial evergreen fine-leaved shrub of the genus Frangipani of the family Xyloris family, which likes to grow and develop in a slightly acidic cool environment with a deep and fertile soil layer, moist and loose and breathable.
The new shoots drawn from the leaf axils, the top umbrella inflorescence, there are 3~9 flowers, the corolla is white, very fragrant, so it is known as "fragrant jasmine".
The flowers are small, white as jade (there are other color varieties), and full of fragrance.
Whenever in the dead of night, under the "fragrant jasmine" flower, the aroma is stronger and more attractive, which is a very good fragrant flower variety. It can be planted in pots or in the open. Flowers are often used for incense, or to extract "essence".

"Meteorological grass" that can "predict" wind and rain:
"Meteorological grass", also known as "wind and rain flower", is another name for "leek". The height of this weed in the field is about 15cm~20cm. The leaves are green and the flowers are pink or pinkish-white (there are also variegated ones), the flowers are beautiful in shape, and the flowers and leaves are beautiful, which is very ornamental.
The biggest "beauty" of this grass is that it can "predict" the "wind and rain" in nature.
Whenever the weather changes, the storm is coming, it will bloom "crazy", the bigger the wind and rain, the more flowers bloom, the more colorful and enchanting, to show the "weather change" situation, hence the name "meteorological grass".
Picture 15~16: "Meteorological grass" wind and rain flower
However, the principle of "predicting" weather changes is actually a "fusion" of the relationship between "air temperature" and "air pressure".
When the natural wind and rain are coming, the air pressure decreases when the temperature rises, and the flowering hormones in the bulbs of leek (wind and rain flowers) will quickly multiply, stimulating the growth of flower buds, thus blooming a large number of wind and rain flowers.
"Disdain the future is dangerous, half of the wind and rain beautiful flower bed" is the best "summary" of the "meteorological grass" (wind and rain flowers).
"Mosquito repellent" that can clean the air and safely "repel":
Mosquito repellent grass exudes the aroma of "lemon" all year round, and combines the fragrance substances of "geranium" and "lemongrass", which can refresh mosquito repellent. Therefore, planting "mosquito repellent grass" can not only clean the air, but also safely "repel mosquitoes".

"Mosquito repellent grass" can be propagated by seed, and seedlings can also be bred by the method of propagation by splitting plants. It can be planted in the open field or potted, and kept indoors to purify the air and enjoy the flowers.
The flowers of "mosquito repellent" are white, purplish red or "variegated". When potted, the main trunk of the two-year-old "mosquito repellent grass" is "lignified", and it can be simply pruned and "shaped" according to personal preferences.
