451. Interdependence
"Lala~"
After the peach got the koi fish and spit the treasure, she was in a good mood, humming and singing, and walked towards the top of the mountain with cheerful steps.
As the altitude increases, so does the surrounding vegetation, with tall deciduous trees like cherry blossoms growing halfway up the mountainside, and fewer deciduous trees such as cherry blossoms growing halfway up the mountainside, gradually replaced by low shrubs.
As the height continues to rise above the tree line, the low shrubs disappear with it. In the high mountainous areas above the tree line, only a small number of plants such as hardy wildflowers, lichens and mosses grow.
As the altitude increases, the temperature decreases, and when the altitude rises above 3,000 meters, the snow begins to accumulate, and they have reached the snow summit area, which is not far from the summit.
The changes along the way give people a very strong shock, this feeling is like going from spring to winter, and it takes only a few hours, but you can see the changes of the four seasons, and I think this is also the charm of the Snow Top Coffee Mountain.
Soon, everyone successfully climbed to the top of the snow-topped coffee mountain, the air on the top of the mountain was very cold, and inhaling it was like pouring a sip of ice Coke, which was very refreshing.
Usually such a high altitude on the top of the mountain will bring uncomfortable altitude sickness, so after the average tourist reaches the top, just a quick glance down the mountain, and the ark is no problem, naturally can fully appreciate the beauty of this mountain.
The top of the snow-topped coffee mountain is somewhat different from what they imagined before, the top of the mountain here is quite flat, like a flat hat, and it is not bare only snow, but extremely beautiful.
As mentioned earlier, there is a famous landscape in Chaharo called: Flower Sea Butterfly Cloud. If you don't know what it means, most people will think that this flower butterfly cloud is in a temperate or tropical region, but in fact, the location of the flower sea butterfly cloud is actually on the top of the snow-topped coffee mountain.
The summit of the Snow Top Coffee Mountain is indeed quite cold and snow-capped, but in this white snow, there is a kind of flower the size of a sea bowl.
This flower is pure white in color, with pale yellow stamens, almost no stems creeping in the snow, pale green leaves set off the flower, making it look extraordinarily elegant in the sun, the sun reflects the snow, but also reflects this beautiful flower.
The scientific name of these flowers: Bingling Snow Lotus, is a special variety artificially cultivated by Charjarro, and its growth place is distributed on the top of Xueding Coffee Mountain in addition to some artificial cultivation.
Don't look at the delicate appearance of this Ice Ling Snow Lotus, but it can withstand the strong winds on the snow-topped coffee mountain, as well as the continuous severe cold.
The Snow Lotus has a peculiar property that when the wind is too strong, its huge flowers shrink into a clump and creep down to reduce the force of the wind and preserve itself.
This particular way of coping with plants, according to the cultivators of the plant, cultivates a certain characteristic of the mimosa, so that it can respond to changes in the environment and thus preserve itself.
I have to be, these botanists are really amazing.
......
Today's qi is very good, the top of the mountain is windless and the sunshine is relatively sufficient, everyone walks in it, and they can even smell the faint fragrance of this ice snow lotus like honey, it smells very refreshing, and it feels.
It's not just a psychological effect, it's a physiological one. There is a certain refreshing ingredient in the large stamen of the Ice Snow Lotus, so in addition to being ornamental, the Ice Snow Lotus also has medicinal value. In addition to the growth in the Snow Top Coffee Mountain, more Bingling Snow Lotus is artificially cultivated and used to make Snow Lotus Tea for brewing and drinking, and the refreshing effect is almost not weaker than coffee, and compared with coffee, there is also a different flavor.
......
At this time, the sun is just right, and the ice snow lotus blooms in the ice and snow under the sun, and as far as the eye can see, the snow and flowers coexist, creating this miracle flower sea that exists in the high mountains.
When everyone was seriously appreciating this sea of flowers, they had just taken two steps and suddenly felt the spring breeze suddenly rise and looked up. I saw a white cloud rushing towards me, of course, this is not a real white cloud, but another wonder: a butterfly cloud.
This white butterfly species is called: Dream Frost Butterfly, and the name has no special meaning, just a simple sound.
The Frost Butterfly is an extremely hardy insect, but it is not tolerant to high temperatures, which means that if the Frost Butterfly leaves the top of the mountain, away from the low temperature environment here, they will die instead.
Because of the special environment on the top of the mountain, the survival habits of this dream frost butterfly are also very different from that of ordinary butterflies, they are social animals, and when the mountain top is bad, they will gather in the cracks in the rocks on the top of the mountain to avoid the strong wind.
If you enter the cracks in the rocks, you can see that these Lost Frost Butterflies will build nests, although their nests are not as beautiful as bees, but these nests are very strong in this low temperature and stable environment, almost undamaged, the nests they live in now may be built by the Lost Frost Butterflies decades ago and hundreds of years ago, when the older generation of Lost Frost Butterflies dies, there will be a new generation of Lost Frost Butterflies to take over their nests.
This Misty Frost Butterfly has very strict requirements for the growth environment, which requires both a suitable low temperature and a plant to support its body. If there is no such Snow Lotus on the top of Snow Coffee Mountain, the Dream Frost Butterfly will not survive, and the Ice Snow Lotus also needs the Dream Frost Butterfly to pollinate it to maintain the growth of the population.
The two are interdependent and indispensable.
It is the symbiotic relationship between the two that has created this dreamlike sea of flowers, butterflies and clouds.
Growing on the top of a snowy mountain, the Ice Snow Lotus will automatically turn off the flowers. There is also a dream frost butterfly that symbiotes with it and can build nests at low temperatures, all of which have opened the eyes of several people in the Ark.
It's really a big universe, and there are all kinds of living things.
......
These Dream Frost Butterflies are also very bold due to their perennial contact with humans, and the management branch on the top of the mountain will give visitors some pale yellow pollen, which is the pollen of the artificially bred Ice Cream Snow Lotus, which has a great attraction to the Dream Frost Butterfly.
Just place the pollen in the palm of your hand, and within a few seconds, a Frost Butterfly will fly into your hand, gently collecting these pollen, and the scene is like dancing with the butterfly.
Dancing with butterflies is one of the long-cherished wishes of many women who come to this snow-topped coffee mountain.
Especially the beautiful and gentle girls like Baiguo, in this beautiful snowy region and the sea of flowers, dancing with the fluttering butterflies is really one of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
