Features: lack of chlorophyll, live parasitically, mostly inhabit woodlands and swamps, and most of them have beech rotten leaves as their growing places. Oak leaves can also be found, and underground stems can stay underground for many years, resulting in root-sucking (Rhizome? Sucker), coral-like The aboveground part is 5-25cm high, leafless and unable to photosynthesis. Flowers are gorgeous and strange, like jumping frogs, insects pollinate, and seeds spread by wind. Distributed in Oxfordshire, England, Buckinghamshire,? Herefordshire,? And Shropshir. Globally,? From northern Europe to central Europe to the south of the Pyrenees, Greece and northern Crimea, it has also been found in Siberia, Caucasus and Himalaya. The root system of Eupatorium odoratum can blend well with the bark, and its eye-catching white flowers are like ghosts floating in the air, so it is also called "ghost orchid". There are few flowers in Guilan. If you see Guilan, you will be attracted by its strange appearance. ? Orchids mostly give people a fresh and elegant feeling, but single ghost orchids are different among orchids. Ghostorchid, a famous ghost orchid, is called Ghost Orchid in English. As the name suggests, the flower grows in a damp and dark swamp, accompanied by crocodiles, and its flowers are pale and strange. ? In 1844, Jean Jules Linden, a Belgian, discovered an orchid in Cuba that had no leaves and did not grow on land. It only relies on a flat root like a green ribbon, attaches to other trunks, and has pale and strange flowers. When the wind blows gently, the petals sway with the wind, much like ghosts floating in midair-so this orchid is named "Ghost Orchid". ? Eupatorium adenophorum is an epiphyte, which is different from parasitic plants, although it is also entangled in other plants. It does not absorb the nutrients of the host plant, but uses its own roots for photosynthesis and water absorption. Later, ghost orchid was found in the swamp in the southwest of Florida Peninsula in the United States. Some biologists believe that the ghost orchid in Florida was brought by the wind or birds from Cuba. ? Ghost orchids are very rare. At present, there are only more than 2, plants in the United States, all of which grow in the swamps of southern Florida. June to August is her flowering period every year. Usually, only 5%~1% of Eupatorium adenophorum can bloom, and one Eupatorium adenophorum can only bloom one or two flowers at a time. But in June, 27, an Italian photographer waited for four hours and took a group of amazing photos-because the ghost orchid actually opened nine flowers. ? There are rumors that the ghost orchid can refine drugs. In the American film "Adapted Script", there was a story about drugs and ghost orchids: the hero and heroine went to the swamp full of crocodiles to look for ghost orchids and smoked drugs extracted from ghost orchids, and finally the hero died miserably in the mouth of crocodiles. Although no scientists have come forward to confirm whether Eupatorium odoratum can extract drugs, it is certain that this plant itself does have a drug-like temperament. ? It is illegal to collect wild ghost orchids. Because it is very difficult to cultivate Eupatorium adenophorum artificially and the wild Eupatorium adenophorum is very rare, this plant has been listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Nowadays, the parks in Florida have opened the "Ghost Orchid Watching" tourism project to visitors. Before entering the swamp, the tour guide will draw the crocodile away, so that visitors can travel in the swamp to see this ghostly plant.
