Hello everyone, I'm an ostrich.
If I ask you, what plants are afraid of itching? You might as well tell me: Tickle Tree. This guy has been playing since he was a child, all kinds of streets and alleys, all kinds of colors, and weird and good-looking. That's him:
In fact, her scientific name is Ziwei. This Ziwei is not Erkang's Ziwei, and it has nothing to do with that Ziwei. It is a deciduous shrub or small tree belonging to the family Quaceae. In addition to the nickname of itchy tree, he also has purple gold flowers, purple orchids, mosquito flowers, hundred days red, barkless trees and other nicknames, nicknames, but also make people ashamed, ah, then we will talk about the various nicknames of Ziwei in this issue:
First of all: tickle the tree. Ostrich suggests that if you have the conditions, you can find this tree to do a small experiment: gently scratch the trunk of ziwei, you will see it flowers and branches trembling, a tremor, if you have a childlike heart, with a few "giggling" laughter, it is simply called: perfect!
At this time, you must ask why Ziwei is afraid of itching? Are the cells nervous when stimulated like mimosa? In fact, some botanists have done careful observations and experiments, and found that the phenomenon of Ziwei's "fear of itching" is related to the shape of Ziwei's tree: compared with other "lower thickness and upper fine" tree species, the roots of ziwei trunks are almost as thick as the top part, which seems a little light-heavy, when we gently scratch its branches, the vibration caused by friction is easily transmitted to the top branches and flowers through the hard branches, so it causes shaking. To put it bluntly, it is that the big-headed doll is unstable... In Yongyi Township, Yinjiang County, Guizhou Province, there is a "Ziwei King". It is said to be hundreds of years old, more than 30 meters high! You go touch it and try it to see if it tickles?
Secondly, mosquito trees. In the summer, the most annoying thing is the "buzzing" sound of mosquitoes, how can such a beautiful flower have such an annoying name? Isn't he afraid he can repel mosquitoes? Not really! It attracts mosquitoes! What's going on? Most opinions believe that this has a lot to do with the growth environment of ziwei, which likes a humid environment very much, and the mosquito is in the middle, so the mosquito likes to inhabit the ziwei tree. belch...... Behind the beautiful is always a little malicious!
Also, barkless trees. If you are careful enough, you will definitely find that many Aster trees do not have bark. As the saying goes, "people live faces, trees live bark", but Ziwei is not. When it comes to adulthood, the bark will fall off, and it is one of the very few trees that can survive without bark. After the bark falls off, the body of the tree is white and smooth, and in some places in the north, "monkey thorn shed" also refers to Ziwei, that is, the trunk is so light that even monkeys can't climb up! If you're interested, you can try it! (This damn winning and losing desire)
Finally, 100-day red. Many cities now regard Ziwei as one of the tree species that beautify the city, in large part because Ziwei is one of the few flowers with a longer flowering period and higher beauty. Ziwei can be pruned several times a year to make it flower many times, up to 100 to 120 days. Beautifying homes couldn't be more appropriate.
