Sterculia monosperma and Sterculia lanceolata, whose names differ by one word, are all beautiful creatures belonging to the sycamore family, which are full of splendor in spring.

These two kinds of trees are quite common in Guangxi. Wuxing Street on my side, true or false, is planted adjacent to each other and echoes. I took pictures last year, and this year, when the season is full of trees, I can't help but add a few new faces to my mobile phone.

Fake apple women and apple women are similar in shape, but their flowers and fruits are quite different.

When the apple woman and the fake apple woman did not blossom and bear fruit, I did not stop for the long oval leaves of a tree as plain as an evergreen broad-leaved tree. When they blossom and bear fruit, they are like brides dressed up, very beautiful.

Apple woman

When the apple woman bloomed, the terminal and axillary panicles flowed down like a waterfall, and the flowers were so colorful that I could not move my eyes under the tree.

The exquisite flowers are as big as fingernails, five-split to the middle, and the top adhesion is the most ingenious, like hollowed-out wind chimes and small lanterns, like small parachutes, really fine handicrafts, each flower is a small world.

In the wind and the sun, some apple flowers could not stick at the top, snapped open, pretending to be a fake apple woman pentagram appearance, but still was betrayed by the thin body, really can not fake ~ apple woman white beautiful, pink delicate and lovely, a string of elves poured down, the wind shook his head lovely, and then fell, a ground exquisite.

Apple woman is nicknamed Phoenix Eye fruit and nine layers of skin. people who know her alias naturally understand the delicacy of her seeds, cooked like chestnuts, noodles and fragrant noodles, cooking chicken soup and spareribs soup are very delicious, Cantonese people should be better at eating. I heard that there are some places to use the leaves of the apple woman to make snacks, which is also very special.

The apple woman has two petals in a group.

Look at the fake apple woman, the flower poking its head out of the thick leaves, waiting for people to look up under the tree. Some are pure pink, some are blue in pink, and just look at the axillary flowers, the calyx is five-lobed, and the small five-star is kind of like a gentleman.

The fake apple fruit is more outstanding than the flower. I was amazed by the picture of her fruit on the Internet a long time ago, and I was even more happy when I saw it with my own eyes. The five narrow fruits are initially green and yellow, and gradually orange and red. When the fiery red fruit breaks, it is her most beautiful moment.

The single pod of the fake apple woman is very similar to that of the apple woman, hence the name, but thinner. There are also different styles between the two. Apple women are in groups of two, while fake apple women are in groups of five.

Seed pods like starfish contain black pearl-like seeds, which are smaller than those of apple women. They are somewhat magic and unforgettable. Falling pods are like fallen flowers, petals are red, and occasionally contain black beads that have not fallen out. Pick up the seeds that fell to the ground, the black seed coat faded, and it was orange-red inside. Seeds are also edible and can extract oil.

The real apple lady is not a fake apple woman, but a fake apple woman may be a fake apple woman. True and false join hands, numerous and dense spring.
