(Photo: Duy Trinh/VNA) Every warm summer, the Russian capital Moscow is adorned with a variety of flowers such as apple blossoms, pear blossoms, tulips, bell flowers, and blooming yellow dandelions. However, there is a special flower that always blooms at the end of May, which coincides with the semester exam season for students student and bring to the capital the Russian capital is siren flower (Vietnamese call lilac). In the Aleksandrov garden located close to Red Square, Lomonosov University (MGU) or on the streets of Moscow, it is easy to see siren bushes blooming brilliantly with an extremely seductive fragrance. With a variety of colors (purple, pink, white, blue-white, etc.), lilac has become an indispensable part of Moscow people’s life. beams siren flower This brilliant display creates a lot of inspiration for flower lovers, photographers, painters, or ordinary people who want to save their photos in the colorful siren space. Siren in Moscow is also associated with his life Leonid Kolesnikov (1893-1968), who devoted 50 years of his life to breeding and popularizing this flower in Russia. Mr. Kolesnikov has bred more than 300 varieties of siren of various colors that are being grown throughout Russia, many of which have been grown in the gardens of Buckingham Palace in London, the Royal Botanic Gardens of England, famous gardens of the United States , the garden of the Kremlin, the Moscow Botanical Garden… Lilac “Moscow Beauty” was bred by Mr. Kolesnikov. (Photo: Duy Trinh/VNA) In 1952, Mr. Kolesnikov won the Stalin Prize for his siren flowers. In 1973, the International Lilac Association honored and presented Mr. Kolesnikov with the prestigious “Golden Lilac Branch” award for his merits in selecting and breeding this flower. The most popular siren variety in the world is the pinkish-white “Moscow Beauty” breed, bred by Kolesnikov in 1947. In 1954, on the initiative of Kolesnikov, a siren nursery was established on Shchelkovskoe Avenue which later became the Lilac Garden in 1975 with an area of ​​7 hectares. The Lilac Garden in Moscow is located on Shchelkovskoe Avenue. (Photo: Duy Trinh/VNA) The road right next to the Garden is planted with many sirens and was named Sirenevy Bulvar in 1960. The Lilac Garden in Moscow is growing and storing about 60 varieties of sirenes bred by Mr. Kolesnikov, many rare trees aged 50, 60 years old. . Here you can see a variety of siren varieties such as the siren named after his wife – Olimpiada Kolesnikova light purple; like the siren named after the brave female guerrillas of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya or the siren “Remembrance of Kolesnikov” is white, like the siren “Red Moscow”, like the siren “Sky of Moscow,” or like siren “Moscow University”… Because of the “internationalization” of this flower, May 18 every year has been chosen by the International Lilac Association as the International Day of Flowers.

The plant is commonly grown in our country and is mainly used for ornamental purposes. But few people know that their flowers rarely bloom, moreover, they have a very strange shape. The plant, scientifically known as Cycas revoluta, belongs to the group of palm trees that are native to tropical Asian countries. Trees are often used for outdoor planting or as construction trees with high aesthetic value and feng shui meaning. Stems are cylindrical, 2 to 3 m tall at maturity or taller, sparingly branched, and unbranched, leaves are feathery, up to meter long, ringed and dense at the apex. Leaves are usually long pointed at the tip, can be up to 1m long or perennials can be up to 2m long. The leaves are dark green, very hard, and the blade is smooth. In the folklore, there is often a saying “The tree blooms once every 60 years” which partly shows the difficulty of this ornamental plant. Depending on the soil conditions, climate and care, it can take 15-20 years to bloom, or even never bloom. The flowers are hermaphroditic, the stamens and pistils grow on the same tree, the flowers are cylindrical in shape, growing on the top of the tree, surrounded by feathery foliage. Flowers are yellow, ripe seeds are ruby. Unlike other flowers, cycads do not have sepals, not only colorful petals or scents that attract insects. The plant is a long-lived and long-lived plant, showing two rings of leaves every year, its shape is beautiful and popular, it is chosen to be planted as a garden bonsai, potted for interior decoration, can be grown as a garden plant. shape bonsai trees for ornamental purposes. In addition, the plant is grown as a base for other flowers, the seeds contain a lot of essential oils and starch that can be used as medicine to treat certain diseases such as treating flowers, stopping bleeding and dysentery… This is a type of gardenia with a slow growth rate, the tree is suitable for sandy and well-drained black soil, light-loving plants can tolerate strong sunlight. It is propagated by sowing seeds or separating young shoots around the mother plant or under the mother plant for planting. Perennial leaves are also used in the art of flower arrangement a lot and also create a strong beauty for flower baskets. The stem of the plant contains starch and oil, so the plant is also used as food and medicine for coughs. Please watch the video: The strangest shaped trees in the world.

According to what plant scientists at the Missouri Botanical Garden (USA), the tiny purple-white flower that has just bloomed in their greenhouse has never been seen, at least by experts like them. In early May, Justin Lee, a gardener, was inspecting a group of Karomia gigas seedlings when he discovered a strange flower. This plant is related to mint and is native to Africa and is one of the endangered plants. Strange flower varieties Giống This flower less than 3cm long has pale purple ring-shaped petals, which slope down to form an arch connected to four white petals, with outstretched pistils. Mr. Lee said: “It doesn’t look like a mint flower. It looks like it’s upside down.” The mint family, Lamiaceae, usually has funnel-shaped flowers. Caregivers think the flowers may attract bees, butterflies and moths, but they may also be self-pollinating. Over the next few weeks, they expect more Karomia gigas flowers to bloom in the greenhouse, and instead of attracting insects, they will attract human hands trying to keep the species from extinction. When more flowers bloom, plants can cross-pollinate and have an extra chance of survival. Currently, only about 20 individuals of Karomia gigas are known in the wild in Tanzania. Roy Gereau, Tanzania project leader at the Missouri Botanical Garden, said it’s not uncommon for anyone to have seen flowers grow from this tree. Karomia gigas is a tall, straight-stemmed tree that can reach a height of 25 m, the branches grow about 13-14 m above the ground, making the flowers difficult to see. Karomia gigas is quite tall and is located deep in the forest. The tree is so rare that it does not have a common name in English, Swahili (the main language of Tazania) or the dialect of the area around the reserve where the tree was found. Of the more than 60,000 known tree species on Earth, Karomia gigas is among the most threatened and endangered in Africa. “As far as we know, there is no scientific record of the flower of this plant,” said Gereau. And now, when the trees bloom, conservationists believe they can keep them from disappearing. “In terms of extinction, this is a really, really good sign. We can make sure this plant doesn’t go away,” said Andrew Wyatt, vice president of horticulture at the Missouri Botanical Garden. There is still hope Growing this tree is a challenge. In the wild, Karomia gigas is highly susceptible to a fungal infection spread by insects. In September 2018, thousands of seeds were collected in Tanzania and brought to St. Louis, but only 100 seeds can be used for germination. The nursery also had to adjust soil texture, water availability and sunlight to mimic the East African environment in which the plants grew. Gardeners are finally able to grow the plants by letting the seeds germinate on wet paper towels (reducing the risk of infection), and then planting them in the potting soil. Currently, they have about 30 seedlings from seeds and one from cuttings. Creating a growing environment for this species is very difficult. “We’re debating whether they can bloom in a caring environment,” Mr Wyatt said. When there are only a few trees of this species left in the world, trying to save them and seeing them grow successfully is very emotional. “You will cherish every stage. They are like your children. You are like the housekeeper of these plants. You not only have a scientific connection, but also a love for them” – he Wyatt shared. Mr. Lee agrees: “They are like my children.” The flower helped scientists understand more about the plant, verifying it was classified correctly, and the shape suggested it was most likely pollinated by an insect. To date, they have not been able to tell if this flower structure is common to the species, or just a genetic mutation in the still young plant. “This single flower … may not be the usual flower form of the tree. This is the first flowering tree of fortune telling” – Mr. Gereau commented. The first flower was recorded. Most importantly, this helps ensure the survival of the tree. Botanists can take cuttings to propagate, but they will share the same DNA. Having genetic diversity will help ensure that plants can withstand harmful elements such as pests. “If crops don’t bloom, we have to depend on wild plants for seeds, and their survival is very low,” Wyatt said. While some species are able to self-pollinate, it is not clear whether Karomia gigas does. Mr. Lee tried pollinating before the flowers died, but said adding flowers from other plants would help create a new generation of plants that are genetically more tolerant. “I’ve chalked the flowers. But so far the self-pollination is still a big question mark. And this time we didn’t succeed. However, we have many seedlings left, if they bloom and pollinate. Cross-pollination is better for genetic diversity.” “Having a tree in bloom is a great start in a species recovery effort,” says endangered tree expert Emily Beech. Although not involved in the tree planting process in St. Louis, in 2016, Ms. Beech and Mr. Gereau and rangers searched for this tree in Tanzania. “When we got there, we didn’t see any sprouts in the forest, but the blossoming tree shows that there is still hope for this tree in the future,” she added. One step closer to reinvention Karomia gigas was discovered in 1977 in Kenya. When the last two trees here were cut down, scientists thought the species was extinct. Then, in 1993, several trees were discovered in Tanzania. From 2011 to present, Mr. Gereau and Tanzanian botanists have found more individuals in the wild. According to Mr. Fandey Mashimba, head of the seed department of the Tanzania Forest Service, about two dozen Karomia gigas trees still exist in the wild, in two forest reserves Mitundumbea and Litipo. These two reserves have the Miombo forest ecosystem – common in Central and South Africa. This is the habitat of wild animals such as gorillas, wild boar, wild buffalo and a small antelope called Dik-dik. While individuals studied in the native environment and one growing in St. Louis, their flowers are still a mystery. “We have a person in the nearest village to the reserve, he keeps an eye on them and will notify us when he notices the plants are about to flower,” said Mr. Gereau. However, when someone drove the long way through the forest and reached the tree, no flowers were found. “They’re in a reserve protected by the government, but a lot of people go there to get wood,” Mashimba said. The wood of Karomia gigas is compared to teak – a precious wood, so they have a high value. “We have trees that are still alive. We can make sure they don’t go extinct. Successful conservation of this species is possible. They are protected in Tanzania. We have a bunch of trees in the botanical garden. When we have enough seeds, we can store them in case.” Seedlings are cared for at the Missouri Botanical Garden, USA. Gereau said he does not want to transfer the plants yet, fearing they are too fragile to make it through the trip between the two continents, but his team will actively share knowledge with the Tanzanian government and botanists at the University of California, San Francisco. University of Dar es Salaam, which is conducting research on this plant. For now, a flower is a hopeful sign of what’s to come. The staff at the botanical garden at St. Louis was surprised when it quickly fell from the tree in less than 24 hours. “It withered and fell. I picked it up and used it as fertilizer,” said Mr. Wyatt.

The scientific name of the corpse flower is Amorphophallus titanum. Photo: AP According to the Guardian (UK), Mr. Solomon Leyva, the owner of a nursery in Alameda, who deals in exceptionally rare plants, posted on social media about his corpse flower. When he saw that many people were interested in the giant flower tree in full bloom, he decided to share the rare plant with the people around him. Earlier this week, Leyva took the corpse flower to an abandoned gas station so more people could admire it. Suddenly, long lines of people flocked to see this flower firsthand, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. “I took the car, went down to the greenhouse, put the flower in the car with the help of a friend, drove here and people started coming to see it,” Leyva said. Leyva relaxed on a camping chair at the old gas station and patiently answered the same questions over and over again. He estimated that by 4 p.m., at least 1,200 people had come to admire the flower. “People said that when a similar flower was displayed in San Francisco earlier, they had to wait for hours to see the flower through a fence. They are not allowed to get close,” Leyva shared. “I think everyone wants to get up close, shake and smell the flower.” People lined up to admire the rare corpse flower in Alameda. Photo: AP Couple Himanshu and Sayali Jain brought their 3-year-old son here after a photo of the flower was posted on social media. “I just wanted to thank him, because I thought we would never see it,” Sayali Jain said. The carrion flower is the rarest and largest flowering plant in the world, first discovered in Sumatra, Indonesia in 1878, by the Italian botanist Odoardo Beccari. The tree only grows in the wild on steep hillsides 365 meters above sea level. This flower is famous for its scent and color similar to rancid flesh when blooming. According to the American Botanical Garden, the corpse flower is extremely rare, with nearly 1,000 species remaining in the wild. It can grow up to 3.6 meters tall and takes about a decade to bloom. During that time, it secretes an unusual odor to attract pollinators, and then dies within a few days. In 2016, visitors to a corpse flower at the New York Botanical Garden described its scent very differently. Many people say that corpse flowers have 5 scents: sweat, garlic, decomposing meat, human excrement, and rotting fish.

Recorded in Dinh Thon (My Dinh, Hanoi), the unique vermicelli flower tree with the age of over 300 years old is in full bloom in a golden season. Noodles c It is also known as white flower or curtain, this is a wide canopy tree, which blooms most in March to early April.

Every time the festival comes, people from all directions also come here to offer offerings. The ceremony brings peace and happiness “- Ms. Bui Thi Light, 75 years old in Dinh Thon shared. Noodle flowers bloom only once a year and after 1 month, the flowers will die. This flower has a pleasant fragrance and when blooming the pistil is shaped like a vermicelli, each flower cluster looks like a vermicelli and the whole flower plant is like a basket of vermicelli, so people call it the name tree. flower noodles. Taking a photo at the base of the noodle tree, Ngoc Lan and Anh Tho – Law students (Hanoi National University) could not hide their excitement and surprise about the beauty of this flower. “I just happened to come across and saw the flowers bloom, after studying, I knew the first was vermicelli flowers and only once a year. Especially, after studying, I knew that this was the only remaining ancient flower plant in Vietnam. Can see the brilliant beauty of this species, so the competition to record this memorable moment as a souvenir “- Ngoc Lan and Anh Tho share. Meanwhile, many professional photographers as well as amateurs cannot help but come to record beautiful pictures of the vermicelli flowers. A photographer working under a unique vermicelli tree in Hanoi is blooming. In addition to the beauty of the vermicelli tree, it also has many effects such as edible fruit and as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory; Shell used in the treatment of dysfunction of the urinary system, urinary tract infections, pain and burning in urination, kidney stones and bladder … Noodle flowers grow in clusters towards the tip of the branch, swaying in front of the wind. Yellow and white flowers mixed with green color of leaves make the vermicelli tree stand out in the middle of the village. According to many villagers, nowadays, people in Dinh Thon consider the vermicelli flower tree like a banyan tree and a “treasure” of the village, so everyone cherishes and dares not to break the flowers to break the branches. The bright yellow vermicelli flowers glow the whole sky. Noodles has become a highlight to create an attraction for everyone when coming here.
