Capsule ovoid, about 2.5 cm long, smooth and glabrous, beaked. Fuchsia is an evergreen shrub or small tree of the mallow family, about two to three meters tall, a fast-growing, vigorous, vigorous plant. When the anthers of the Fuchsia flower are ripe, globular pollen grains can be seen, and the red part is the filament, all the filaments are combined into a bundle, called a single stamen. The stigma of the fuschia flower is five-lobed, with tomentose protrusions on it. The surface of the stigma is not very smooth, and it can stick to the pollen, and the mucus contains some substances that can promote the germination of the pollen Ovary and embryo. In the longitudinal section of the ovary, a row of tooth-like particles is the ovule, which is fertilized and develops into a seed. Fuchsia leaves alternate, simple leaves, for palmate veins, flowers large and beautiful, petals five, the apex split, will be included in the stamens, only to reveal the five-forked styles, almost the most abundant, the flowers are large and beautiful, there are scarlet, light red, peach and yellow-white and other colors. Less cold hardy, strong resistance to dryness, is very easy to cultivate the species, to high-pressure or grafting method of cultivation, fertility moderate temperature of about 22 ~ 30 degrees. Prefer sunshine, sunshine, high temperature, growth, flowering are good, and resistant to pruning, is a good flower to beautify the garden. Members of the same family are also cotton, hibiscus and so on. Her flowers grow big and beautiful, and you can lick the nectar after removing the petals. Growth habit Prefer warm and humid climate, intolerant of cold and frost, shade tolerance, it is desirable to have sunny, ventilated places to grow, the soil requirements are not strict, but in the fertile, loose slightly acidic soil in the growth of the best, the winter temperature is not less than 5 degrees Celsius. Fusang high hanging Born in the mountain sparse forest, easy to grow, strong resistance, few pests and diseases, like warm, humid climate, intolerance of cold, requires adequate sunshine. In the average temperature of 10 ℃ above the region grow well. Light-loving, shade intolerant, suitable for organic matter, pH 6.5 - 7 slightly acidic soil, planted in the ground in the south as a hedge, the Yangtze River Basin to the north are greenhouse potted. Geographical distribution Guangdong, Yunnan, Taiwan, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan and other provinces and regions. Main varieties Common varieties are: Fuchsia (Figure 3) American (AmericanBeauty), deep rose-red flowers. Orange Fuchsia (Aurantiacus), single petal, orange-red flowers, with a purple heart.

WhiteWings, single, large, white flowers. Cuttings can be taken except in winter, but the survival rate is high in the rainy season. The best annual semi-woody cuttings, 10 cm long, leaving the top leaves, the incision should be flat, inserted into the sand bed, inserted about 3 weeks after rooting. Grafting, mostly used for cuttings difficult heavy flower varieties, branching or budding can be, rootstock with a single petal flower Fusang. Spring *** fall insertion of high survival rate, ground *** pot insertion of high survival rate, survival is also fast, generally the year can bloom. General selection of two-year-old strong branches is appropriate, with the current year half lignified strong branches can also be, the best side branches cut into 15 cm long spike, 5 - 7 sections. Plugging bed soil with good drainage, strong aeration of coarse sand or silica, after sterilization, and then placed in the bed, about 15-20 cm thick. The lower leaves of the spike should be flattened with a sharp knife, cuttings in a timely manner, 1/2 deep. immediately after insertion of 1 watering, covered with plastic film, to maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity, so that the wet and not wet, well-drained and ventilated, and then gradually accept the sun, maintain the temperature 18-25 ℃, relative humidity 70% of 80% of the conditions, 20 days after the rooting of the general, 1 month or so! It can be potted in about 1 month. Fuchsia (Figure 4) The use of ring knot cuttings and terminal cuttings is as good as colonization, but generally speaking, the use of 10 to 12 cm long terminal buds. The cut buds can be inserted directly into pots to be sold, usually 2 cut buds per pot, and if they are to be sold as small potted plants, the cut buds will be inserted into pots for propagation (with a wire end plate). Propagate in a closed space (e.g., under a plastic tarp). Rooting begins 35-40 days after cutting, but depends on what time of year the cuttings are taken, at a temperature of 22-23 degrees Celsius. Cuttings can be obtained from the mother plant or from plants for sale, but if they are obtained from these plants the cultivation time must generally be extended by a further 2-3 weeks. Main value Horticultural set of large colorful flowers, four seasons always bloom, mainly for gardening. Fuchsia bright and colorful flowers, towards the beginning and end of the wilting, beautiful purple and red, in the south, more scattered planted in the pool, pavilion, roadside and wall, potted Fuchsia suitable for the living room and the entrance furnishings. Fuchsia Fuchsia is the state flower of Hawaii, the sight of which reminds us of the sandy beaches with blue sea and blue sky and the southern beauties with grass skirts on their waists. It is said that native women put fuchsias above their left ear to say "I wish I had a lover", and above their right ear to say "I already have a lover", as for both sides? It probably means "I already have a lover, but I wish I had one more". The Fuchsia has a passionate and bold appearance, but it has a unique flower center, which is formed by most of the small stamens linking together and wrapping around the large stamens, and the structure is quite delicate, just like the delicate heart under the passionate appearance. The red Fuchsia flower is bright and eye-catching, meaning passionate, is the best decoration for grand festivals and banquets, and is also the best flower for celebrating the opening of a business as a flower basket or a flower plate. Fuchsia flowers large and colorful, Malaysia will be Fuchsia as a sign of peace and prosperity, whether it is a public **** place, both sides of the street, or home garden are decorated with Fuchsia. Fiji has a traditional folk festival called "Saffron Festival", where the saffron that Fusang. "Saffron Festival" held in the capital in August every year, lasted seven days, people with Fusang flowers decorated with goods, and wear colorful costumes, wearing strange masks, with the band behind the parade. Young girls from all over the world are chosen to participate in the "Queen of Saffron" contest, and they ride in colorful cars to show off their beauty. The highlight of the festival *** is the selection of the three "Saffron Queens". Box office proceeds from the Saffron Queen contest are donated to charitable organizations. Economic value The heart of the flower is very slender, "Compendium of Materia Medica" has described it as "branch Ke soft and weak", it can be seen that in order to raise this "branch Ke soft and weak" Fusang flower, sunshine is not to be missing. Fusang flower on the sunshine requirements are very strict, every day must let it sun enough eight hours of sun, it can bloom well, sunshine is just like the daily work of Fusang flower general, and is almost year-round. If the sunshine is not enough, it is going to play some small temperament, either the flowers bloomed small, or buds slowly fall off, if the weather is too stuffy and too hot summer days, you can put the Fuchsia flower in the place of diffused light to receive not so centralized sunlight so as not to avoid sunburn. With sufficient sunshine, Fuchsia flowers can be happy to bloom, and then we should pay attention to some trivial maintenance work, such as Fuchsia flowers like water and fertilizer, we have to water it every day, in the hot summer weather, in addition to watering in the morning and evening, but also from time to time to give its leaves sprinkled with some water moisturizing. In addition to the weekly fertilization of Fuchsia, the growing period of the number of fertilizer can be a little more, but do not choose a high concentration of fertilizer to apply. After the fall and winter can gradually reduce the number of watering and fertilizer, this time to put it in the sunlight exposure in good ventilation conditions can be slightly cared for, but pay attention to the maintenance of indoor temperature, try to 5 degrees to 15 degrees between, or Fuchsia flowers are not only difficult to overwintering, but also affects the quality of the next year's flowering. We know that Fuchsia has a long flowering period, the number of flowers is also a lot, the branching ability is even more powerful, so the usual pruning work is also indispensable. Nothing to help Fuchsia pruning off some of the old and weak branches, not only to beautify its plant, but also to enhance the growth of some new branches, which will lay a better foundation for the next year Fuchsia flowering. Medicinal value Chinese herbal content Meridian: heart; lung; liver; spleen meridian. Fusang Flower Effects: Clearing the lungs; cooling the blood; resolving dampness; detoxifying Examination: from "Compendium of Materia Medica". The Compendium of Materia Medica: Fusang, produced in the high side, is Hibiscus alias, its branches Ke soft, dark green leaves, slightly astringent as mulberry, its flowers are red, yellow, white, red is particularly expensive, called Hibiscus vermicularis. East China Sea sunrise at the Fusang tree, this flower light bright sun, its leaves like mulberry, because of the comparison, the later blackmail for the Buddha Mulberry, is Hibiscus alias, so the day and all the names, but also with the same. Indications: lung-heat cough; hemoptysis; epistaxis; leakage; leucorrhea; dysentery; reddish-white turbidity; carbuncle, swollen and poisonous sores Harvesting and Storage: Picked when the flowers are half-bloomed, and dried in the sun. Resource Distribution: Cultivated in Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan and Yunnan. Botanical Form: Hibiscus sabdariffa is an evergreen shrub, about 1-3 m tall, with branchlets terete, sparsely stellate pilose. Leaves alternate; petiole 5-20mm long, villous above; stipules linear, 5-12mm long, hairy; leaf blade broadly ovate or narrowly ovate, 4-9cm long, 2-5cm wide, apex acuminate, base rounded or cuneate, margin coarsely toothed or notched, both surfaces glabrous except for a few sparse hairs along veins abaxially. Flowers solitary in axils of upper leaves, often pendulous, pedicel 3-7cm long, sparsely stellate pilose or nearly smooth and glabrous, articulate near the end; bracteoles 6-7, linear, 8-15mm long, sparsely stellate pilose, united at the base; calyx campanulate, ca. 2cm long, stellate pilose, lobes 5, ovate to lanceolate; corolla funnelform, 6-10cm in diameter, rose-red or reddish, yellowish, etc., petals obovate, apex rounded, outside sparsely covered with a few sparsely hairs. petals obovate, apex rounded, outside sparsely pilose; staminal column 4-8 cm long, smooth and glabrous, ciliate. Flowering throughout the year. Fuchsia Classification: Heat-clearing medicine; blood-cooling medicine; detoxifying medicine Fuchsia Taste: sweet; light; flat Origin of medicinal material: flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa, family Mallowaceae. Usage and dosage: Internal use: decoction, 15-30 g. External use: appropriate amount, pounding compress. Source: The Chinese Materia Medica (Fusang Flower (Figure 1-7)) Fusang flowers, leaves, stems and roots can be used as medicine, and the root is mainly used. Flowers contain cottonin, quercetin, cornflower glucoside, kaempferol, vinegar, straw liquor, vitamins. Leaves and stems contain shell sterols, dandelion sterols, acetate lipids and enzymes. Roots contain branch tannins. Fuchsia flowers sweet and cold in nature, have lung, phlegm, cool blood, detoxification, diuretic, decongestive effect, suitable for lung fever and cough, mumps, mastitis, acute conjunctivitis, urinary tract infections, nosebleeds, menstrual disorders and other diseases. Fusang leaves, mainly used for skin sores. Fusang root has the same effects as fusang flower. Zhu hibiscus flowers contain cornflowerin acacia sugar glucose test, cornflower one or two glucoside and spellin grape gunoside, has the effect of lowering the blood pressure of anesthetized dogs. Qing Dynasty "Materia Medica" said: "There are two kinds of red and white, white for white dysentery white turbidity, red for red dysentery red turbidity." Lingnan Materia Medica (岭南采药錄) says: "Clearing lung heat, removing phlegm and fire, and treating coughs." Lu Chuan Materia Medica" cools the blood and detoxifies the toxin. Treating blood heat, winged blood, blood phlegm, poisonous sores." Nanning Materia Medica, "Boiled pig's lung for coughing up blood." Ming Dynasty, "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains the leaves or flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa, together with white hibiscus leaves, cow fen leaves, white honey and research on descent, can cure carbuncle, parotid swelling. According to the Guangzhou air force "common Chinese herbal medicine manual", "Nanning city medicine" and "folk common leather medicine compilation", Zhu hibiscus root has the treatment of menstrual disorders, hemorrhagic, white turbidity, leucorrhoea and cough, anti-inflammatory, bronchitis effect. Fuchsia (Figure 2) The leaves and stems of Hibiscus sabdariffa contain Taraxacum sativum acetate and Iguanjieol. It can be used to "treat canker sores and swollen cheeks" in the Compendium of Materia Medica. In Fujian Folk Medicine and Herbs, it is used to relieve heat and poison, and eliminate carbuncle and swelling. Nanning City Drugs, "Crushed and applied to abscesses." Luchuan Materia Medica contains the same efficacy as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. It can be seen above that Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has been used as medicine in China for at least many years. Medical application Collection and processing: leaves, stems and roots can be harvested in all seasons, flower season flowers. After harvesting, remove the dirt and impurities, dry and spare (stems and roots sliced), or use fresh. It is also used to regulate menstruation, mumps or arthritis, then it is stir-fried in wine. Usage: Usually made into soup or stew. Externally, the flowers or leaves are pounded and applied to the affected area. Fusang Flower Methods: 1. Mumps: 30 grams of fresh fusang flower, decocted with water. At the same time, the fusang leaves will be pounded on the affected area. 2. mastitis, pain and swelling poison: fresh fuchsia flowers, mashed, add a little honey and mix, compress the affected area. 3. Urinary tract infection: 20 grams of fuchsia flowers, roots, decoction. 4. menstrual disorders: 30 grams of fresh fuchsia flowers, Angelica sinensis 10 grams, decoction. Planting Seed propagation When using the seed method, due to the hardness of the seeds of Fusang, to improve the germination rate, it is necessary to bruise or corrode its skin, usually in concentrated sulfuric acid for 5~30 minutes, rinse with clean water before sowing. The appropriate temperature for germination is 25~35℃, 2~3 days to germinate. Some hybrids, especially the new varieties of Hawaiian Fusang, sexual debility, need to use grafting propagation, rootstock can be selected from the same genus in the growth of robust varieties. Grafting propagation Grafting Fusang time, selected in its peak growing season, the best in the spring, after the survival of the year the growth period is long, the plant can get full growth and development. Under greenhouse conditions, grafting can be carried out in all seasons. Fuchsia grafting in advance to consider the scion, the rootstock of the two growth potential, branching pattern, the length of the internode, the flowering of the early and late whether similar or consistent. If more varieties grafted together, should also consider the flower shape, flower color is reasonable and bright and beautiful. Grafting methods can be cut, split and grafting. Generally more simple and easy to use splitting method. The scion should be selected robust branch tips, thickness should be the same as the rootstock. Retain the top bud and 2-3 leaves, the lower part of the cut into the shape. Cut off the top of the rootstock, the middle with a sharp knife to split properly, and then cut into the shape of the scion inserted into the right, aligned with the formation layer, and then tied with plastic strips placed indoors in the absence of direct sunlight. In order to maintain proper humidity, to prevent wilting of the leaves on the scion, the scion can be covered with a plastic bag. Grafting about a month after the visible survival. To live and then gradually remove the plastic bag, increase the light. Propagation by cuttings Mainly based on cuttings propagation, can be carried out throughout the year, with the best in May to June, winter can only be carried out in the greenhouse. Cut the current year's robust slightly lignified branches, cut into l0 ~ 12cm, remove the lower leaves, only retain the top 1 ~ 2 leaves, the incision should be flat, inserted into clean river sand, sprayed with water every day, to maintain high air humidity. Placed in the shade, covered with plastic film, often sprayed with water to keep warm, about 20 days to root. With the top bud of the spike rooting faster. After 45 days of growth, it can be potted. Cultivation and management of fusang is not strict on soil requirements, available garden soil 4 parts, 2 parts of stable fertilizer, 2 parts of rotting soil, 2 parts of river sand mixed for the cultivation of Shi. April out of the nursery after the change of pots, full of fertilizer, placed in the sunny place, and pruning, to remove the dry and withered branches, weak branches. Growing period to maintain sufficient water, and often morning and evening water spray foliage. Because of the long flowering period of Fusang, every half a month to apply dilute organic liquid fertilizer, supplemented by the appropriate amount of compound fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate, in order to ensure that the flowers and leaves. The pot is too dry or too wet are easy to make the lower leaves yellowing off, and even cause buds, and therefore should pay attention to often check the potting soil. 7 ~ August high temperature season, sometimes a day need to be watered two times. Fusang sprouting force is strong, the growth period must be often timely centering, short cut shaping, to ensure that the shape of the plant full, and increase the amount of flowering. Fusang growth temperature of 18 ~ 30 ℃, before and after the frost in the north should be moved indoors to maintain room temperature 12 ~ 15 ℃, too low leaves are easy to fall off, but the temperature is too high, easy to make the branches grow or continue to bloom in the winter and affect the second year of flowering. Watering can be reduced in winter. Potting Space : Cut buds should be planted in 11cm pots with a fertilizer medium of clay and lime. Space should be 25-30 pots per square meter. Fuchsias Climate Summer temperature: 18+2°C (at sunrise) Winter temperature: 16+2°C (at sunrise). Outdoor temperature: 26°C. The temperature of the heating bench can be 2~3℃ above the air temperature. The lowest temperature refers to the use of curtains at night, otherwise its temperature should be raised. Humidity: Relative humidity should not be too high. Shade: Not required. Cultivation points 1, potted Fusang, need to change pots every spring, and pruning and shaping. Fusang is more tolerant of fertilizer, fertilizer once a month during the growing period, and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 2-3 times during the flowering period. Insufficient light, the buds are easy to fall off, the flowers become smaller, the color of the flowers is dull. In winter, Nanjing must be moved indoors for the winter. Fuchsia flowers (Figure 5) 2, selecting the land to prepare the land Select sunny, warm and humid climate, soil fertile, loose and well-drained weak acidic soil. 3, transplanting seedlings after rooting, potting, potting soil preparation for 4 parts sandy loam, 1 part of dung, mix well, the bottom of the pot through the hole with a tile cover, the bottom layer of the base fertilizer, and then loaded with a mixture of soil planting seedlings, watering, watering once a day, and to shade slow down the seedling, placed in sunny places after 2-3 years of cultivation and then potting, potting time for the end of spring and early summer out of the room to carry out. Fuchsia (Figure 6) 4, field management Outdoor cultivation and indoor cultivation, cuttings after the initial period should be shaded to maintain relative humidity of 85% -95%, the temperature is controlled at 18-25 ℃, to ensure that there is a certain amount of light, half-monthly chasing a fertilizer, the end of October into the greenhouse, the room temperature is controlled at 15-22 ℃, began to pay attention to the ventilation, fertilizer sparingly applied or Pei Shi. Fusang management process temperature is very important, it involves the length of the flowering period and how much, summer flowers are numerous, flowering time is long, low temperatures bloom less, short flowering period. Winter management 1. Fertilizer control. From October to stop fertilizer, to avoid green, greedy flowers, not conducive to physiological dormancy. 2. Water control. During the winter indoors, the potting soil should be dry and not wet, so we should control watering, only to keep the potting soil slightly moist can be, generally 5 days to 7 days to water once, the amount of water should not be too much to prevent low temperatures and high humidity caused by the death of rotten roots. 3. Temperature control. Fusang suitable dormant temperature of 5 ℃ to 15 ℃. If higher than 15 ℃, the Fusang not fully dormant, is bound to affect the next year's flowering, and lower than 5 ℃, it is easy to suffer from frost damage, overwintering failure. 4. Pruning. Pruning can control the unnecessary growth of consumption, promote the organization of full, conducive to the next year re-emerging full shape and vigorous tree. For this reason, Fusang into the room half a month later, generally from about 25 cm height, all branches for short pruning. For the older plants, can be pruned, that is, the base of each lateral branch to retain only two to three buds, will be cut off the upper part. Of course, pruning should pay attention to the internal and external orientation of the buds, in order to reduce the blindness of the development of sprouting branches thereafter. 5. Propagation by cuttings. Cuttings are good propagation material. Selected semi-woody robust branches, cut into 10 cm long spike, with 3 to 4 buds, the best dip before insertion of medical vitamin B12 solution, and then inserted into a pot of soil, watered, covered with a plastic bag, heat preservation and humidity, and then sprayed with water once a day, placed in full sunlight, generally 40 days after the rooting, 60 days can be potted. Fusang maintenance Fusang native to China, distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces, like warm, moist, sunny environment, intolerant of drought, intolerant of frost, the Yangtze River north must be potted, winter must be moved indoors to overwinter. Fuchsia flowers (Figure 7) Fuchsia flowering period is very long, in the temperature 15 ℃ a 20 ℃ conditions, flowering throughout the year. Fuchsia strong resistance, management is more relaxed, do not need special management, maintenance as long as the following principles can grow strong. 1. Potting and pruning Potting soil should be used loose, fertile sandy loam, in early spring every year before moving outdoors, should be changed. When changing pots to do three things: one is to change the new culture soil; two is to cut off part of the dense curly roots; three is to apply enough fertilizer, the bottom of the pot slightly added phosphorus fertilizer. In order to maintain a beautiful tree, with more flowers, according to the Fusang branching and sprouting ability of strong characteristics, can be pruned in early spring before and after the room for shaping, each branch in addition to the base to stay 2-3 buds, the upper part of all cut off, pruning can be prompted to send a new branch, the growth will be more vigorous, the shape of the plant is also beautiful. After pruning, because the ground part of the consumption is reduced, to appropriate control of water and fertilizer. Fuchsia flowers 2. out of the room management Fuchsia positive species, in early May to be moved outdoors in full sunlight, this is also the growing season of Fuchsia, to strengthen the fertilizer, loosening the soil, pulling weeds and other management work. Apply thin liquid fertilizer every 7-10 days, watering should depend on the wet and dry potting soil, too dry or too wet will affect the flowering. Autumn management should be cautious, to pay attention to the late less fertilizer, so as not to draw autumn tips. Autumn tips of young tissue, cold resistance is weak, cold days will suffer frost damage. Promptly into the room Fusang intolerant of frost, after the frost until the winter must be moved indoors to keep warm. Overwintering temperature requirement is not less than 5 ℃, so as not to suffer frost damage; not higher than 15 ℃, so as not to affect the dormancy. Dormancy is not good the next year's growth and flowering is not prosperous. Where the south-facing furniture house with good insulation conditions can be overwintered, when the weather is colder, you can cover the paper or cover plastic film to keep warm. First moved indoors every day during the day to open the window ventilation, pay attention to changes in the potting soil dry and wet, appropriate watering. On the coldest days, watering has the effect of preventing frost damage, but fertilization should be stopped. Pest control The main pests of fuchsias are aphids, chaffers, cotton blowers and mites (commonly known as red spiders). These pests are all prick-sucking pests. That is, with their mouthparts into the plant's leaf surface or epidermis, sucking plant sap. The leaves of the infested plants lose their green color and grow weak, reducing the ornamental value. Furfura and blowing cotton mediator can harm the leaves and epidermis, generally available imidacloprid class of drugs or their modifiers, diluted a certain number of times, in its endangered part of the spray extermination. Serious damage, can be once every 10 days, 3 times can be basically extinct. Fuchsia Botanical Culture Flower Language Maiden's heart, off the beaten track, clean, subtle

Fresh love, subtle beauty.

The structure is quite delicate, as is the delicate heart beneath the passionate exterior. Legend of the flowers Fusang is said to be the legendary "Sun Tree", is a sacred tree. According to the "Great Desert East" records: "...... on the Fu Mu, column 300 miles, its leaves such as mustard, there is a valley, said Wanyuan Valley. Tang Valley on the Fu Mu, a said Fang to, a said Fang out, are contained in the U." , Legend has it that on the great sea in the east, the Fusang tree is composed of two large mulberry trees that support each other. The sun goddess Xihe Great God for her son Jinwu (three-legged raven, the spirit of the sun) drive up from here ...... That is to say, Fusang represents one of the spiritual places in Han mythology. Fusang flowers represent light and good fortune. Fusang Flower (Figure 8) Ancient Poetry The Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen wrote in his poem "Hibiscus Flower", "Miasma is long and warm without frost and snow, Hibiscus is full of red flowers. The flowers are full of red color. I sigh with exuberance at the four times of the year, but I don't know that there is a spring breeze in the blooming and falling of the flowers." It depicts the beauty and color of the hibiscus flower. Hibiscus Ming Li Shizhen "Compendium of Materia Medica - wood three - Hibiscus": "Hibiscus is produced in the south, is the Hibiscus species. The branch is weak, the leaves are deep green, slightly astringent like mulberry. Its flowers are red, yellow and white, red is especially expensive, called Hibiscus vermicularis." Ming-Xu Wei "heard that there are buy Fusang flowers in the poem," one of: "Remembering goodbye to Tangjiang fifty frost, the barbarian flower long remember rotten Fusang." . Qing Dynasty - Wu Zhenfang "Lingnan Miscellany" Volume: "Fusang flowers, everywhere in Guangdong, the leaves are like mulberry and all three small, large red, light red, yellow color, large open pan such as peonies, open and fall, fall has reopened, from March to October never end."
