It stands to reason that it is a natural law for plants to bloom, and only when they bloom and bear seeds can they spread to the next generation. However, some plants rarely bloom, such as bamboo, mint, taro and other plants. In fact, some varieties of these plants can also bloom, and it is normal for them to bloom.
Some plants, however, have not blossomed for a long time, which is just not the time. Of course, there is a reason for flowering. For example, when bamboo blooms, it will be shi. As for taro, I often see it, which is not surprising at all.
There are varieties of taro grown locally that eat flowers instead of underground tubers, and varieties that eat underground tubers instead of flowers. The flowering varieties mainly eat flowers, and the underground stems are hemp and inedible.
The kind of taro that eats underground tubers, but the underground tubers are sand and noodles, with little hemp taste and very delicious. But the flowers of this variety are so numb that they are hard to swallow. The common taro in our market belongs to the variety that doesn't eat flowers.
Because the taro that eats flowers has a strong hemp flavor, it is difficult to buy taro in the market. The taro is usually left by farmers themselves. In our local area, if other people want to plant it, they should ask the growers for it, otherwise it will be difficult to buy it.
In fact, flowers that specialize in eating taro can be eaten and delicious. They can also be pickled into pickles, or they can be eaten with fried noodles. In addition, they can be dried and made into dried vegetables.
We usually eat it fresh locally, and stew it after frying it with eggplant. It tastes fragrant, soft and fragrant, and it is very delicious. This is also a local specialty. This is the season to pick taro flowers for a long time. Fresh taro flowers in the market usually cost five or six yuan a catty, and some people tie them together and buy seven or eight yuan.
However, the taro we eat rarely blooms. This taro mainly eats underground stems, and the stalks on the soil are purple and black. It is planted in my family every year, and I have rarely seen flowers.
There is also a kind of taro, whose stalk is green. This kind of green stalk mainly eats it, and the underground stalk is so hemp that it can't be eaten. We call it dripping taro. The dripping taro can also blossom, and the flowers are yellow, just like the underground tubers, which are hemp and inedible.
Generally speaking, it is normal for taro to bloom. However, some taro rarely blooms, which is mainly caused by many factors, and also related to climate, temperature and environment.
There is a kind of taro in the shade of our local field, which is called Tiger taro. This plant is a kind of taro that usually grows from the side of the mother taro to replace the mother taro, and grows in a circular way. Because of the lack of light, the nutrition of the mother taro directly rots after the growth, so there is almost no flowering.
So, the taro that can really bloom, please see the picture, the stem is red, the same color as the flower, and the one that can't bloom is purple and purple-black. The above are my opinions on several kinds of taro, which are also common in our countryside and planted in my home. If you have different suggestions, please leave a message.
