In nature, there are all kinds of flowers and trees, some of which are unknown, some of which embellish our lives, and some of which even make people talk about it.
For example, in the mainland, there are four kinds of plants called "the four flowers of the underworld", and just listening to this name is a bit creepy.
So what are the four kinds of flowers? Let's take a look at each of them, each of them is not simple, and let's see how many the big guys know.
The first type of mandala.
Mandala in the mainland folk call it goldenrod, sheep flower, dog walnut, etc., this kind of flower grows that is called a beautiful and beautiful, the flowers are big, and the bloom is also luxuriant, so that people want to pick when they see it.
But who would have thought that it was poisonous in all its herbs! The toxicity of the seeds is even more terrifying. If accidentally ingested, symptoms of poisoning will appear in as little as 20 minutes.
If the poisoning is severe, you may be drowsy, convulsive, or even comatose and die after 24 hours.
Regarding mandala, there was another use in ancient times, one was used to save people, that is, it was used as an anesthetic. The other one is harmful, the famous sweat medicine, the main ingredient is mandala.
Therefore, the mandala plant is good-looking, but its toxicity cannot be underestimated. We usually see mandalas, but don't pick them up and play with them, let alone put them in your mouth to taste.
It's like a beautiful trap, it looks good, but it's actually very dangerous. It's no wonder that it is known as one of the "Four Flowers of the Underworld", it is a beautiful trap that can kill people before you know it.
The second type is the Pegan flower.
There are also many names for the flowers in the mainland, such as Lycoris, Manzhu Sahua, Safflower Lycoris, Stove Chicken Flower, Old and Dead Do Not Get Along, etc.
This flower is also very distinctive, it generally grows in cemeteries and is particularly bright in color. Moreover, it generally has no leaves when it blooms, and it does not bloom when it has leaves, and the flowers and leaves never meet.
There are also many folk legends about the other side of the flower, among which the older generation thinks that it is a very bad flower. It is only because in the past, folklore said that the riverside of the underworld was overgrown with flowers on the other side, which paved the way for the living and led to the underworld of death.
Moreover, the flowering period of the other side flower blooms after the autumn equinox, which is the day of the grave. The flower likes to grow in shady and damp places, and is very common in cemeteries.
Therefore, when people go to the grave, they see the blood-red flowers on the other side of the road, and the feeling is really eerie. That's why it's also called the flower on Huangquan Road.
Thinking about that picture, a cemetery with red flowers on the other side is indeed a bit hairy. And the flower is also a little poisonous, it can make people hallucinate, so the ancients also called it "ghost flower".
The third type is the crystal orchid.
Like the other side flower, this crystal orchid also likes to grow in the cemetery, and it grows very peculiarly, just like crystal.
The crystal orchid is a saprophytic plant that spends most of its time underground and only a few times grows out of the ground.
It is also known as the Ghost Tweed. It's just because in the past, people thought it had terrifying magic, emitting a seductive white light in the dark.
Doesn't that sound scary? If you see such a glowing flower near the cemetery at night, you will probably break out in a cold sweat.
In the past, folk also believed that "crystal orchids have the effect of resurrecting the dead", but this is unfounded, but this plant can indeed be used in medicine.
The fourth type is the poppy.
That's right, the poppy in drugs, that's it, and the poppy is the flower that the drug poppy blooms.
Everyone also knows the dangers of drugs. But in fact, the opium poppy was originally a medicinal herb, and it was maliciously used by people with bad intentions that brought disaster to the world.
Legend has it that the poppy has a seductive power that can lure us to destruction, and in fact it does.
