Maihua Snow-white Maihua refers to buckwheat flower. Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote the poem "Four Seasons of Pastoral Miscellaneous Prosperity, Plums Golden and Apricot Fat".
Original: Plums are golden and apricots are fat, and wheat flowers are white and cauliflower is thin. No one has ever crossed the fence, but dragonflies and butterflies fly.
Vernacular translation: A plum tree turns golden, and the apricot grows bigger and bigger; The wheat flowers are all white, but the rape flowers are sparse. As the day grows, the shadow of the fence becomes shorter and shorter as the sun rises, and no one passes by; Only dragonflies and butterflies fly around the fence.
Introduction of Buckwheat Flower:
Buckwheat flower, with erect stems, 3-9cm high, upper branches, green or red, longitudinal edges, hairless or papillate on one side along the longitudinal edges, racemose or umbrella-shaped inflorescence, terminal or axillary, white or pink florets, blooming from May to September every year, and achene ovoid in fruit period from June to October.
Buckwheat flowers like cool and humid climate, are not resistant to high temperature, drought, strong wind, fear of frost, like sunshine, and need more water. The photosynthetic capacity of buckwheat determines the yield. Because the population of buckwheat is generally large in production, the morphology of buckwheat plants, especially the leaf shape, affects the light distribution of population canopy.
