In the garden, there are flame flowers, golden-veined coral trees, long-stalked geckos, green jade vines, flame trees, golden phoenix flowers, red paper fans, cannas, and elegant irises, crape myrtles, and pink banana trees.
There are all kinds of oleander, including various varieties of frangipani, soft-stemmed allamanda, purple allamanda, pink oleander, white oleander, as well as red coral, blue luli, red shrimp skin flower, bellows tree, Bauhinia purpurea, gardenia, etc.
The fire flower is very distinctive, with orange-yellow to golden-yellow, tubular corollas. Large swathes of fire flowers bloom on the branches, creating a spectacular sight.
The soft-stemmed allamanda also has a double-flowered soft-stemmed allamanda, and the oleander also has a double-flowered oleander. The flowers are large and bright, with complex petals. They were beautiful even before the mutation, and after the mutation, the flower branches are even taller, and the flowers are the size of sunflowers. They bloom in clusters, which is breathtaking.
Li Yao loved it so much that she dug up whatever she liked in the garden.
Some flowers also have medicinal properties, such as frangipani.
In Banya, China, and some Southeast Asian countries, the frangipani is widely planted as one of the "five trees and six flowers" designated by Buddhist temples, hence its other names "temple tree" or "pagoda tree".
In the eastern coastal areas, white frangipani flowers are often dried and used to make herbal tea.
Frangipani flowers are primarily used to clear heat, promote diuresis, and relieve summer heat. They are effective for colds with fever, lung heat cough, damp-heat jaundice, diarrhea and dysentery, urinary tract stones, and preventing heatstroke. They can be decocted or applied externally. (The above information is from Baidu. Please do not try this lightly. If you are sick, please go to the hospital.)
There were all sorts of red, pink, and yellow frangipani flowers here, and Li Yao didn't miss a single one. She dug them all out, soil and all, using [Spatial Control] and stored them in the [Infinite Space]. She planned to plant them in the Spirit Spring Space later when she had time.
Of course, Li Yao didn't go crazy and dig them all up. She knew that for some ethnic groups who have lived in the mountains for many years, high technology might be unnecessary, but land and plants can truly save lives, so she left a few of each kind.
Li Yao, who inwardly praised herself for being a good person, finished tending to the Hundred Flowers Garden, dusted off her legs, and flew off to the next place on her surfboard.
Arboretum
The arboretum is an important germplasm resource gene bank of the botanical garden and also the largest collection of live specimens.
The arboretum covers an area of 76.32 acres. It has introduced and preserved more than a thousand species of plants from home and abroad.
There's the flame flower native to tropical Africa, ylang-ylang used for extracting perfumes, the sausage tree with its sausage-like fruit, the gracefully swaying cephalotaxus, the giant-fruited gourd tree in the forest, and the rain tree with its massive canopy and beautiful form.
World-famous macadamia nuts and cashews, as well as protected plants such as Terminalia catappa, Parashorea chinensis, and Ficus microcarpa.
The transformed arboretum is now lush and verdant, comparable to a primeval forest.
After reading the introduction at the park entrance, Li Yao had the system scan her and take her directly to the section for macadamia nuts and cashews.
These trees had naturally mutated as well, and their fruits were the size of cantaloupes. The ground was covered with dried fruits, and Li Yao accepted them all without hesitation.
They also dug up more than a dozen cashew and nut trees.
In addition to these, there are teak, mahogany, sandalwood, date palm, coconut palm, rubber tree, tree fern, rosewood, huanghuali, fragrant dragon blood tree, and golden nanmu.
These trees were already decades old before, so after the mutation they became even taller, more lush, and had thicker trunks. If you didn't know better, you would think they were centuries-old trees.
Li Yao naturally accepted all of these gifts with a smile. Putting aside everything else, she really wanted to make a chair herself from huanghuali and nanmu wood.
Since none of these trees were aggressive, Li Yao didn't harvest them and instead went to the next location.
Pagoda Fruit Garden.
Located in the southeast corner of the western area, the Baiguoyuan (Hundred Fruit Garden) covers an area of approximately 90 acres. Its main purpose is to collect and preserve tropical and subtropical fruit tree varieties and their wild relatives from southern my country, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Currently, it has collected and preserved approximately 350 kinds of fruit tree resources (including varieties).
The main groups include tropical fruits such as pomelo, banana, jackfruit, mangosteen, longan, rambutan, avocado, and wampee.
It also features a rue area dominated by rue family plants such as pomelo and citron, a mango forest dominated by mango varieties, a banana plant garden, and a beverage plant area represented by cocoa and kola nuts.
Among them, the banana variety garden covers an area of 19 mu and collects and cultivates 9 species and 66 varieties of banana plants. Among them, the Hekou small banana and Xiangming small banana are local varieties with special characteristics that are difficult to find in their original places and are important breeding materials. They are also available here.
