Introduction to plum blossoms:
Plum plums are small trees, sparse shrubs, 4-10 meters high; the bark is light gray or greenish, smooth; the branchlets are green, smooth and hairless.
The leaves are ovate or elliptical, 4-8 cm long, 2.5-5 cm wide, with a sharp tip and a pointed tail, a wide wedge-shaped to rounded base, and often small sharp serrations on the edges, gray-green, young Both sides are covered with pubescence, which gradually falls off when growing up, or only the lower veins and axils are pubescent; the petioles are 1-2 cm long, hairy when young, fall off when old, and often have glands.
It is better to sow in autumn. If spring sowing is required, the seeds should be accumulated in sand in autumn and drilled in early spring. Harvest the fruits when they change color in June-July, spread them indoors to fully ripen, wash out the seeds and dry them for later use. Seedlings of plum blossoms are used for propagating rootstocks or breeding new varieties due to their slow growth rate, late entry into the flowering stage, and large species variation in offspring.
The fragrance of plum blossoms has a unique charm, elegance and elegance, and has been called a secret fragrance by literati of all ages. "Looking for the fragrance deliberately but refusing to smell it, the fragrance is nowhere to be found" is difficult to capture, but it is always refreshing and intoxicating. During the plum blossom season, wandering among the flowers, the breeze blowing through the plum forest, is like soaking in the sea of fragrance, and the whole body is filled with fragrance.
Exploring and appreciating plum blossoms must be timely. If it is too early, the buds will not bloom; if it is too late, the fallen flowers will bloom. The ancients believed that "the flowers are about to bloom but have not yet fully bloomed", that is, the best time is when the plum blossoms are in bud and ready to bloom, hence the name "Tanmei". Plum blossoms are waiting for the "Jingzhe", and generally the best time to visit spring plums is 10 days before and after the "Jingzhe". The situation of viewing plum blossoms is also very particular.
