How much do you remember about the plants that witnessed our childhood?

There should be no one but "us" who knows the most about plants in the world, right?

When I was a child, I never saw a cell phone or played with a computer. I just liked running crazy in the yard all the time. When I was tired of running, I made a fool of myself and unwittingly got to know many interesting plants.

Today, I would like to summarize these lovely plants to see if you used to play like this when you were a child.

1 Impatiens

Everyone calls it nail grass, because you can dye your nails after mashing the flowers, and girls like to play like this. It blossoms beautifully, too. Red, fuchsia, pink, white, there are many varieties, and it is easy to grow.

Impatiens will form a seed clip after it blossoms, and when it is ripe, the seed clip will explode and the seeds will bounce all over the floor. It is this feature that impresses me.

2 purple jasmine

Can grow half a person tall, every evening will bloom, the next day withered, flowering from the end of July to the beginning of October. Generally like to call it "Thunder Flower" because its seed is like a mini mine. Purple jasmine seed "mine" is rich in white endosperm, dried into powdery, applied to the face can remove facial mole acne, so it is also known as powdery flowers.

When I was a child, I also picked flowers and hung them on my ears as earrings, all of which were handed down from older children.

Purple jasmine flowers can give off a slightly leisurely fragrance. According to Ben's years of experience in dealing with purple jasmine, the purple jasmine with yellow flowers has the strongest aroma, the light pink is worse, and varieties such as dark pink and red can hardly be smelled. So when I was a kid, I only collected seeds from yellow flowers and purple jasmine and planted them in the yard.

3 dandelions

Needless to say, even if you don't know how to play "cow", you will always play "eagle".

Of course, the old people all dig up and eat cold dishes, which can remove the fire.

(4) there are three major pieces in every house: slug grass, tiger tail grass and dogtail grass.

I don't know what materials you use in every house, but these three recommendations are inseparable from the fact that I played house when I was a child.

Let's start with Euphorbia officinalis.

It's hard to pull up the roots, so it's called Niu Gan Cao. When I was a child, I would specially collect sophora grass and roll off the grass seeds against the growth direction as rice. I really admired the imagination at that time.

Of course, this is not the man's game. We all use it as a cricket scout.

What can Equisetum officinalis do?

Look at this look, it's just right to make a broom.

Bristlegrass is the most common.

When I was a child, the old man taught to weave a rabbit with bristlegrass, but now he can only weave a rabbit's head, but he has completely forgotten how to weave his body. Can also make up bears, puppies and so on, it is estimated that this technique has been lost. As a necessary item for every family, it is generally used as millet (this grass is indeed closely related to millet). It seems that half of every family's time is due to playing and cooking, so the plants that make food must be measured.

5 Poplar

What can poplars think of to play?

It's autumn, uprooting is still the petiole of our poplar leaves!

In other words, how to develop a thousand-year-old root that has been fighting for hundreds of years?

First of all, to find poplar leaves with strong petioles, the petioles of Populus tomentosa are generally the thickest in their prime.

And, if you want to find old leaves that have fallen to the ground for a period of time, it is best to turn slightly black. The leaves that have just fallen have a lot of moisture, so they are brittle and easy to break, even if the old leaves are too dry. )

The most important step, hey, step on the shoe for two days, so that the petiole is just right to be stepped on.

Thousand-year-old root must be a must-kill weapon, can not be easily taken out, take out, just rely on the smell can deter each other! Believe me.

6 Xanthium sibirica, Datura mandala

This is the only secret weapon for bad boys!

The seed of Xanthium sibiricum is as big as a jujube core, and the hooked thorns on the surface are easy to stick to the clothes and often put on the girls' clothes and hair for mischief.

The fruit of the mandala is as big as a walnut and stabbing. It is thrown as a grenade in a shootout, but it really hurts to hit it, so it doesn't really cut at people.

7 Chinese prickly ash

I don't know much about this.

There are prickly ash trees in the courtyard. Every year, the larvae of prickly ash butterflies eat these leaves. After the insects have melted their cocoons, they can take them home and wait for the butterflies to fly out. Pepper Phoenix butterflies are the largest and most beautiful butterflies I could see when I was a child. I dreamed of keeping and playing with them, but I had to find their cocoons to raise them if they could not fly.

The buds of prickly ash can be picked and eaten with eggs in spring, which tastes good.

8 clover

This thing doesn't make a good impression in my memory. It's called stabbing seedlings. You should be careful when you walk in the field in summer wearing shorts. But it is precisely because of this hurtful attribute that it has been kept at a distance until now.

Because of the company of these plants, childhood is full of novelty and happiness!
