The wood milk fruit is actually a "quite honest" fruit; it doesn't actually produce "milk" and doesn't taste milky.
The reason it was named "wood milk fruit" by botanists is mainly because a white sap would occasionally ooze from the trunk of the tree.
Characteristics of the wood apple – flowering and fruiting on old branches
The shape of the wood apple is similar to that of a berry, and up close it looks like a wampee. When peeled open, it resembles a mangosteen, and the flesh is similar to that of a longan. It smells like kiwi.
It is not large, only slightly larger than a thumb, with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm and an average weight of about 5 grams per fruit.
When unripe, the fruit is pale green;
In the early stages of ripening, the peel turns orange-yellow;
When fully mature, they are mostly purplish-red, but there are also some red, pink, yellow, white, purple and green varieties.
The flesh is even more amazing.
When broken open, the flesh is divided into segments, usually three segments, but occasionally a few fruits only have two segments, much like garlic cloves.
The flesh is translucent, plump and juicy, and comes in milky white, pink, orange, purple, and even blue.
It is said that the Blue-faced Wood Milk Fruit was introduced to a certain place in the south of China, and the flesh of the fruit shimmers with blue when ripe.
Therefore, eating a wood milk fruit is like opening a blind box; you only know what color fruit you've eaten the moment you open it.
The mutated Wood Milk Fruit is larger, has the effect of replenishing supernatural abilities, and is sweeter.
There is also the balloon fruit, whose flowers are white to pale yellow and have an extremely long flowering period, blooming from autumn to early spring every year.
The fruit is yellowish-green, oval-shaped, and plump, resembling both a fully inflated balloon and an angry pufferfish.
That's why it has the beautiful names of balloon fruit and pufferfish fruit, which are quite unique.
The fruit is hollow except for the seeds. It flattens easily when gently squeezed by hand, but then springs back to its original shape, much like a balloon.
The fruit can burst open on its own when it is ripe. The seeds are covered with silvery-white downy hairs and are shaped like parachutes. They are blown by the wind to various places for sowing, hence the name Windboat Cotton.
There's also the dancing grass, a sensory plant.
It prefers sunlight; potted plants grow to about 70-100 cm tall, while those planted in the ground can reach 1.5-2 meters.
Each petiole has three delicate leaves.
The leaves have numerous linear leaflets on both sides, which are highly sensitive to sound waves.
When the temperature reaches above 25°C and there is a sound stimulus of 70 decibels, especially under sunlight,
When stimulated by sound waves, it swings up and down continuously, like a butterfly fluttering its wings in flight, or a young girl gracefully extending her arms on stage, hence its name.
There are also uniquely shaped and brightly colored red passionflowers, golden cup flowers, double-petaled paper fan flowers, and herbaceous plants such as shrimp-shaped flowers and sunflowers.
Because of the mutation, the flower shape has become more beautiful and unique, making it unforgettable at first sight.
Li Yao not only picked all the edible fruits, like the wood apple, but also transplanted several trees. She didn't miss a single other pretty or medicinal fruit either.
It was completely covered in soil and stored inside the space.
Next, Li Yao went to the Shade-loving Botanical Garden.
The shade-loving plant garden covers an area of 15 mu (approximately 1 hectare) and is a specialized garden for collecting and displaying foliage plants, flowering plants, terrestrial plants, and epiphytic plants.
The collection currently contains approximately 600 plant species (including varieties), with the main groups including tropical orchids, epiphytes (including important bromeliads and ferns), ginger family plants, araceae family plants, and gesneriaceae family plants.
Here you can find unique staghorn ferns, crown ferns, bird's nest ferns, and various shade-loving plants introduced from other tropical rainforest regions around the world.
Here, artificial communities with tropical rainforest structures have been created, and beautiful plant landscapes have been crafted using garden art techniques.
This place truly lives up to its name as the real-life version of "Alice in Wonderland".
Add some more fog, and it'll be perfect.
Common shade-loving plants include Dracaena fragrans, Pothos, Butterfly Tree, Monstera deliciosa, Green King, Lucky Bamboo, Money Tree, Money Plant, and Bamboo Shoots, etc.
Shade-loving plants are those that grow better in low light conditions than in strong light conditions. They mostly grow in damp, shady places or in dense forests.
Other examples of shade-loving plants include beech, spruce, arborvitae, walnut, platycodon, codonopsis, glehnia, cinnamon, and cinchona.
Post-apocalyptic Shade Garden
It's a bit like a chaotic mess; all sorts of plants have mutated, the short ones have become bigger and taller, so the old man-made landscapes can no longer contain them.
Some ferns, like the staghorn fern, can grow to over 3 meters tall. The Boston fern, which was originally 30-80 centimeters tall and was a Chinese bonsai, has now grown to over 1 or 2 meters, practically a small tree.
Li Yao continued flying through the air, and after the system scanned the area, she collected some rarer orchid species and mutated Chinese medicinal herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula, Adenophora stricta, Cinnamomum cassia, and Cinchona barbata into her [Spiritual Spring Space].
For the overly large, high-level plants, Li Yao used [Spatial Cut] and [Spatial Devour] to obtain a considerable amount of crystal cores and skill points.
