Inadvertently, Gege ran away, the West Park is very large, very beautiful, very fun, and people are very forgetful, but stopping here for a long time means giving up the scenery in front of you. So I have to get her back quickly, and then hurry up and continue shopping, and secondly, if she gets lost like a child, I have to go to the park radio station to broadcast a missing person notice, which will be funny.

I ran around, and finally saw Gege in the area of a fiery red porcelain rose, I ran over and patted her on the shoulder, only to hear her exclamation of "ah", obviously startled, and when I turned around and found that it was me, I depressedly accused: "Sneak attack?

"Sister, I came all the way to 'piapia', the movement is not small, you are too involved, right?"

"Oh, maybe, come and see this porcelain rose, the petals are slender and numerous, the colors are bright and beautiful, and it is also a popular gradient color, it is really beautiful, so fashionable!"

"What about clothes, but also so fashionable?"

"You know what? A lot of fashion is inspired by flowers. ”

The porcelain rose in front of me is really different, and I can't help but admire: "This flower is so beautiful." ”

It is said that the porcelain rose blooms from May to October, and if it is cultivated well and the climate is mild, it can bloom in winter, and it is not uncommon for it to bloom at this time under the warm and humid climate conditions of Xishuangbanna.

As Gege said, the porcelain rose petals overlap to form a natural halo of bright red and slightly graded flowers, and its flowers are two or three meters high, just enough to block her figure.

Although the roses are beautiful, they can't be greedy, so I said: "Gege, why don't we continue walking, there is still a scenery ahead." ”

"No, I'm going to keep looking, there are still a lot of flowers here, I haven't had time to see them. ”

I used to think that women would not be able to move when they saw cosmetics, bags and clothes, but now I finally found something that makes women unable to walk, that is, beautiful flowers, and of course I am very fascinated by these beautiful flowers.

Later, we saw many bright flowers such as cannas, irises, frangipani, pagoda flowers, golden phoenixes, pink paper fans, and ground chong nasturtium.

There are three kinds of canna, red, yellow and two-color, among which the two-color canna is a rare treasure, characterized by the fact that the same flower stem can bloom two colors of red and bright yellow flowers, producing the effect of competing for beauty, and the more ornamental value is the phenomenon that individual petals will bloom red and yellow.

Iris, with oval and bright petals, erect and verdant green leaves, gives people a sense of visual impact.

Frangipani, with white petals and yellow stamens, is like shelled eggs, tiled and beautiful.

Pagoda flowers, its flowers are in the state of flower columns, resembling pagodas, climbing step by step, and its flower pillars are colorful and colorful.

Golden phoenix, the stamen is slender, the petals are finely broken, the flower color is red and yellow, it looks like a tail of phoenix flying from a distance, bright and beautiful.

The powder paper fan is also called the pink leaf golden flower, the flower plant is an evergreen shrub, the green leaves are clustered, the pink flowers are dotted, and the large area is very eye-catching.

Dichong Golden Lotus is designated as one of the "Five Trees and Six Flowers" by Buddhism, and the Dai people often attribute it as the embodiment of kindness in literary works. Yunnan folk also use its stem juice to relieve hangover, detoxify, and make hemostatic drugs. When the flower blooms, it looks like a golden lotus flower gushing out of the ground, and the scenery is very strange and magnificent.

The more I looked, the more I couldn't bear to leave, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was worth the trip, and then we finally walked out of this area in every reluctance.

Then passing by a small fountain, walking across a curved bridge, we arrived at our planned browsing location - Flower Literature and Art Museum, the so-called benevolent and wise, here we can see what the botanical garden is like in the eyes of the artist, the museum exhibits a lot of paintings of the botanical garden, all say that the scenery is picturesque, but here the painting is vivid, but also feel the lack of aura, at most can only praise a sentence "painting like landscape".

The tour of the West Park has basically been completed, we started from the Hundred Bamboo Garden, and finally the Hundred Garden, before and after are hundreds, it is a double hundred, and good things come in pairs. The hundred bamboo gardens and the hundred flowers have brought us endless fun.

The next goal is the east garden of the botanical garden, which is larger and wider than the west garden, and the west garden can use up so much time, and the result is still unfinished, so what should the east garden do? It seems that the next time will be very tight.

We had some small snacks to refuel our energy, and there were still three kilometers from the West Park to the East Park, so we chose to take the car in order to save energy.

It is also very convenient to take a car here, there are sightseeing battery cars, sitting in a battery car, blowing a small breeze all the way, looking at the beautiful scenery along the way, and soon arrived at the East Park.

It is said that the eastern part of the botanical garden is mainly a tropical rainforest, with endless greenery, including the alder of the same era as the dinosaurs, the thousand-year-old strangulation of strange trees, and the breathtaking ancient vine of the banyan tree.

We decided to focus on visiting the greenstone forest in the East Garden, where you can walk the plank path in the forest, climb the Lovers' Peak, and see the tree waterfall, large slab roots, and strangled plants.

The east park is very large, we chose to visit the park counterclockwise, and on the way we saw the wild orchid garden, the witness of the vicissitudes of the sea, etc., these names are the theme summary of the corresponding area.

Witness of the vicissitudes of the sea there, there is a tree called "pandanus tree", its roots are peculiar, like a blooming pleated skirt, it is said that in ancient times Xishuangbanna was an ocean, due to geological movements made it become land here, pandanus is a plant in ancient times, it adapts to the terrestrial environment, it still maintains the characteristics of the seaside plant from the aerial root to develop into the pillar root "breathing" and supporting the plant on the ground.

As for other flowers and plants, we have basically experienced them in the West Park, so we played very quickly, and we took the car directly where we could take the car.

The greenstone forest scenic spot needs to climb the mountain on foot, and the climbing trail is a wooden plank road, and you can see the strangulation phenomenon and tree waterfalls along the way, and the protagonists of these phenomena are banyan trees.

The strangulation phenomenon is the mulberry banyan tree, known as the "green killer" of the tropical rainforest, when its seeds fall on the branches of other trees in various ways, it will germinate. As the banyan tree grows, its adventitious roots intersect and merge with each other, gradually wrapping and tightening the host tree, and supporting its body with the help of the parasitic tree. When these banyan trees gradually become large trees, their roots and stems have completely enveloped the host tree, and the host tree eventually dies due to nutrient deficiency due to the tight conduction tissue, and these strangled banyan trees eventually become independent large trees.

After reading the introduction of the strangled banyan tree, Gege couldn't help kicking it resentfully, saying: "This tree is too ungrateful, such an act of repaying virtue with resentment is really the story of "The Farmer and the Snake" in the plant world, I hate it", and kicked it twice to vent his anger.

Looking at Gege's cute expression of love and hate, I smiled slightly and said: "Don't kick yourself, this plant world is really cruel, the truth of natural selection and survival of the fittest is more vividly interpreted, plants have no mouths and feet, they can't run or scream, and the plant world is still a chaotic world without a legal system, once there is a different species like a strangled banyan tree, it is really sad for other plants." ”

The habit of strangling the banyan tree is indeed despicable, but the existence of all things must have its reason, although we hate it, but the plant world has long formed a stable and mature development rule in the process of hundreds of millions of years of development, and we do not need to worry too much.

The tree waterfall you see next is also very spectacular, and the roots of the trees hang down to the ground from a distance, very much like a waterfall that rushes straight down. This is a form of the banyan tree, which produces aerial roots on its branches. When the aerial roots touch the ground, they form pillar roots, which in turn form the wonder of "a single tree becoming a forest". When a single banyan tree takes root in the stone crevices, its aerial roots sticking out from the side of the stone cliff will plunge directly into the ground due to its own ground-oriented nature, forming the wonder of "tree waterfall".

Walking around the Lovers Peak, not far away is the big slab root that we plan to see, the tree that forms the big slab root is still a banyan tree, and the slab heel is the plate-like adventitious root, which grows from the base of the trunk and slanted into the soil, shaped like a wooden plank, which has the effect of strengthening the aboveground part of the support tree.

In fact, there are not a few heels along the way, but this heel is particularly huge, like a high wooden wall, its width is as wide as two people's arms, and the thickness is less than half a foot. Banna has roots, the roots are big, the two-storey small building can not be installed, its shape is like a wall, but its quality is wood, it is natural, it is really breathtaking, tsk amazing.

After seeing the various wonders of the banyan tree, we continued to climb the mountain along the wooden plank road, there is a viewing platform on the Lovers Peak, the viewing platform is about 750 meters above sea level, its location is not at the top of the peak, but stopping here can overlook the entire eastern park.

Although the peak is called Lovers' Peak, in fact, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with couples, there are single people who come here to watch the scenery, there are whole families who come, there are groups of donkey friends who meet by chance, and there are also people who have an unknown relationship with me and Gege.

Stopping at the viewing platform and looking at the endless green kingdom, I couldn't help but sigh: "It's not that the forest loves this, but this is not the forest." ”

"Heh, it's starting to be lyrical again, but I agree, I travel here 300 times a year, and I don't want to be here as usual. ”

Gege echoed me and said a word, and the meaning was quite appropriate, so I clapped my hands and said, "That's right." ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

"Laughing, laughing. Hey, hey, hey!"

The green ocean in front of us is endless, the Luosuo River in the distance swims through, the sun has been west, we look at the endless scenery under the sunset, and we are a little forgetful, the two coincide, tacitly maintain this silence, quietly look at the scenery in front of them, look at it for a long time, it is really a beautiful world, life is worth it.
