There is a kind of flower, the name of which is a plum blossom, and the flower is indeed very similar to a plum blossom, but the leaves are slender, and you think it is a narcissus from a distance!
Parnassia palustris L., is a perennial herb of the family Euonymusaceae. It is mainly distributed in Northeast China, North China, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other places. Because of the large white or pale yellow flowers, the flowers resemble plum blossoms, hence the name plum grass. Also known as the grass of Parnassus, Parnassus is a mountain in central Greece that is the sacred place of Apollo, the god of the sun, and the goddess of literature and art. Legend has it that the cows in the mountains like to eat this plant, so plum grass is considered the "grass of honor", and Parnassis is also the Greek word for its genus name, Parnassia

There are many varieties of plum grass. There are about 70 species in the world, and China is about it
60 kinds. Common and famous such as: fine-leaved plum grass, Emei plum grass, green flower plum grass, multi-branched plum grass, etc.
Parnassia palustris L., a plant of the family Saxifrage (as to why Plum Grass is a genus of Euonymus and Plum Grass is a genus of Saxifrage family, this difference may be due to different taxonomic systems or a misunderstanding of the species name.) However, according to most sources, Plum Grass should be classified as a genus of Plum Grass in the family Saxifrage family. ）。
This plant grows in cold and barren places (such as wetlands, swamps, and the humid environment around lakes, hence the nickname "swamp star"), but it can bloom in such an environment with unique beauty. Because of its ability to withstand cold, it can still stand tall and grow vigorously in the cold winter. Therefore, plum blossom grass is also known as the "king of flowers among grasses".
The flower language of the fine-leaved plum grass is often considered pure and noble. The purity in its flower language symbolizes its white and flawless petals, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. The nobility is reflected in the fact that the fine-leaved plum grass can stand proudly in the wetland, not affected by the environment, showing a strong and noble quality.
The reason why I pay attention to this is mainly because I think the flowers of this variety are more interesting~ The lines of the petals are clearly visible, especially like a line drawn with a watercolor pen.
