Hua Xun: The Tianshan safflower is in bloom.

When it comes to the landscape of mountain flowers in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, there should be three famous places, namely, wild apricot flowers in Jichan Root, chicory in Ullas Station and safflower in Tianshan Mountain. In contrast, I think Tianshan safflower is the best of the three.

Some people may ask, why are the pear blossoms in Korla, the endless lavender in Zhaosu and the tulips in Wujiaqu not on the list? What we are talking about here is the mountain flower, which is determined by several factors such as wildness, large area and history.

What was the safflower that day? Why did you report it?

Tianshan safflower, also known as wild poppy, also known as black ring poppy. It is characterized by bright red flowers and black arc spots in the center of petals. Only produced in Xinjiang, China, wild in Ili Valley. The appearance is similar to poppy and corn poppy, which is not only ornamental, but also authentic Chinese medicine with wide uses.

Local Kazakhs call Tianshan Safflower "Riley cazac", that is, "a free and constantly migrating flower". Speaking of it, its temperament is particularly proud and special, and it is completely a beauty temperament. Drive if you want. You can't drive if you don't want to. It will open here this year, there next year, and sometimes it will not open for several years. Not willing to settle at all.

When you don't want to open it, you hide the seed in the soil and wait for the opportunity to meet the conditions and fulfill your wishes, even though it has passed year after year. Once it is open, it will be free and eager to burn the sky and the earth red. Poppy and corn poppy have always been regarded as poisonous and beautiful flowers. The reason is that it is difficult for people to witness wild red poppies blooming all over Shan Ye and Tianshan Mountains.

Therefore, it is difficult to accurately predict the opening time and place of Tianshan safflower; Accurate forecasting is also very important for people to watch and collect.

Fortunately, several fans of wild plants and landscape photography have been tracking and exploring its growth law. It is reported that this year's Tianshan safflower began to bloom on May 1 1, and the peak flowering period was around May 23. The main distribution areas are Sangong Township, Huocheng County, Yili, and Simu Township, Nilek County.

Yes, Xinjiang in May is an awkward season. The temperature is warm and cold, and the flowers and plants in Shan Ye haven't reached the peak yet. Looking for what? Looking for who? Fortunately, Tianshan safflower filled the gap at this time and showed its unique natural beauty to the world.

May you have a charm agreement with Tianshan safflower.
