Recently, at the gate of the "Big Buddha Temple" on Xihu Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, there is a beautiful exotic kapok, full of flowers and branches, and bright flowers reflect the sky. In other parts of Guangzhou, the flowering period of isokapok has passed. And this iso kapok, in late February, is still full of flowers. Citizens passing by stopped and took out their mobile phones to take pictures. When night falls, the lights are bright, and the colors of the different kapok are more brilliant and charming.
Spring came early this year. In mid-January, the public watched the flowering of kapok in Guangzhou. At present, in some places, the kapok has been spit out and has entered the full flowering period. In the north gate of the "Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall" on Yingyuan Road, Yuexiu District, there are several kapok saffron flowers, which attract people's attention. Among them, there is a 350-year-old "Kapok King", known as "the most beautiful kapok in China". Recently, this "Kapok King" buds are full of branches, dew petals spit red, blooming flowers, showing the most beautiful and conspicuous colors, welcoming the arrival of tourists from all over the world.
According to reports, in Guangzhou, the flowering period of beautiful isokapok is from September to January of the following year, while the flowering period of kapok is from February to April. Therefore, "you sing and I will appear". But nowadays, it is very rare for isokapok and kapok to bloom at the same time. In plant taxonomy, beautiful isokapok and kapok both belong to the "Kapok family" and are "relatives". The origin of both of them, both of which are in the tropics or ** zone, is a deciduous large tree with five petals. It is expected that in early March this year, the above-mentioned beautiful different kapok and kapok will continue to compete for glory in the flower city, and it is worth watching.
