Trifolic acid
◆ Banana rain sound
The pale pink trumpet flowers of the hollyhocks are fresh and translucent in the morning sun, and they are gentle and soft with a smile, as if they want to talk to me. The safflower sorrel grass gathered around the feet had already bloomed, and the hollyhocks chased after it with all their might, and finally caught up. The same warm color, the same flower shape, the same joy. In fact, the two of them can not pinch a piece to say, hollyhock tall stalks, autumn crops like, sorrel grass is too broken and too small, step on it does not know. It can be seen that the flowers are not fat and thin, but also have a chic flower and sour taste.
The safflower sorrel grass by the river has bloomed to the extreme, and a large round pier grows in a bush, and the slender handle of copper wire cannot support the flowers and leaves at the top, and it is lying in all directions. Pull one out, the ruler is long, the bottom is light red and emerald green, so tender that it will drip water. The one in my pot is a piece of ground stem that I picked here. Its underground tubers are exposed in part of the ground in early winter, black-brown like chicken dung. People with a heart can raise it into old piles to sell, ranging from dozens to hundreds of pots. Just imagine, the small leaf flowers with thin eyebrows and light eyes stand on the rough black stake, and the visual impact makes people think of wrong, and suddenly have a sense of pity.
Safflower sorrel, said to be safflower, is actually pink, and the flower heart is darker. There is also a blue color that is larger, purple, and the flower heart is tender green, which is more common in the south. Floral called safflower sorrel grass as articular sorrel, purple flower green heart is called safflower sorrel, medicinal name copper hammer grass. Theories vary from place to place, but the leaves and flowers are larger than the yellow flowers. The yellow flowers are native varieties, and most of the other varieties of sorrel are imported from South or South America.
It is this traditional sorrel that I am familiar with, with yellow flowers and black seeds, a stalk of three leaves, each leaflet is an inverted heart, wheel-shaped, perfect, if you find a four-leaf is lucky grass.
There are many names for sorrel grass, sour motherwort, dove sour grass, finch acid, trifoliate. Trifoliary acid is good, with aura, the flowers and leaves are very small, compared with the pink and purple flowers of the sorrel grass is better than nothing, so often in the hedge, wall, stone crevices and other inconspicuous places quietly grow their own.
It was hard to find in previous years, but it has been everywhere lately. The sorrel grass does not enter the eyes of the gardeners, and the long is also stealing, hiding outside the serious grass, and occasionally the grains operate with the wind and rain to the scene, timid, not complaining. Count nine cold days its leaves freeze into black, purple and blue, or die into soil, and slowly resurrect in the spring. The underground stems are strong. When I was a child, I only said chewing its seedlings, tender, sour, and unsatisfied. I have never dug it out and seen it, but I don't know that it hides a root that is not afraid of cold.
My grandmother called it sour mother pulp, which was somewhat similar to its real name. Finch acid, sorrel grass flowers and leaves are lit by the sunlight sifted through the forest, like finches playing and jumping. The naming of grass and trees is really a magical thing, and it is impossible not to disobey the wisdom of the ancestors. Concise and meaningful, for example, spring, half summer, cutting autumn, honeysuckle. Another example is the wei, only because the grass and the seeds are full of dense wei. If you say another name of Wei Wei is not unfamiliar, motherwort.
The main entrance of the quality park is finally unlocked, not around the south gate to save much road, the heart is suddenly cheerful, the main entrance into the park is smooth and reasonable.
A slip of oleander blossoms next to the meadow, the fragrance is not as strong as the pink flowers, and the whole flower falls down, like a snow. When the flowers fall on the ground, I catch a glimpse of a blue-gray butterfly, smaller than a sorreled gray butterfly. Maybe it's the juvenile sorrel butterfly. The butterfly name has the name of the grass, which is really interesting.
Without being led by sorrel butterflies, I know where the sorrel grass is hiding.
Just watered, carefully put down the foot to the hedge in front of the grass, the sorrel grass is not cold and not dry, the remaining purple halo of the leaves has finally faded almost, turquoise, the regular yellow flowers are very serious about opening five petals, so small and the heart of the filigree flower buds are complete. I couldn't help but pinch a leaf, the tip of my tongue to distinguish the taste, sour, or that sour taste, stalk, leaf, flower, knotted capsule, all over the body is sour and delicious. This acid is very cherished in ancient times, medicine and food can be used, there is a clear heat and dampness, cool blood and stasis, use it to make cold dishes, boil meat, make tea to drink, the southern people use the whole grass seedlings to knead a smelted copper-zinc alloy called a stone utensils, so that the white silver white, yellow golden yellow. Sorrel contains a variety of organic acids such as citric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, etc., which were rare in the chemical era. It is said that dongpo stew is to put sorrel grass, which is precisely to take advantage of its acidity.
There is also a spiritual place in the sorrel, at night or on a rainy day with insufficient light, the petals automatically converge, and the leaves also gently close themselves, if the butterfly retracts its wings, the heart falls. It has character and it has thoughts.
I want to raise a hometown sorrel like a thorn, reach out to the grass, but pull up a long slip, creeping stems take root everywhere, safflower sorrel grass but there is no aboveground stem, basal leaves, petiole directly pumped from the underground tubers. The sorrel grass is covered with great skill, grasping the ground is long feet, and it spreads arbitrarily like a wall-climbing tiger. I used to look down on it.
Field swirl flowers and bowl flowers bloom at the beginning, and are particularly eye-catching against the green leaves. The bowl of flowers is not fragrant, and the blue-purple anthers of Tian Xuan are dotted with moving. Every flower in this world has its own exquisite layout, color, shape, taste, impeccable matching, and the creation of heaven and earth is incredible.
When people face a flower, they can only shake their heads and sigh with joy, ashamed of themselves. No point is added or subtracted, and everything is perfect. One flower, one world, really. In the eyes of the flowers I am an insignificant spectator, and the flowers here are mysterious, noble, mysterious, incomprehensible, and the more I think about it, the more confused I am. In response to the old saying, whoever is not a passer-by, the flower is the master.
