Plum blossoms, round petals, strong wax texture, fragrant aroma, for the garden variety. Stinky plum is a native wild variety of dogtooth, with narrow petals and long pointed petals, and the aroma is not pure.

Because the petals of the wax plum are shiny as if they contain wax, it is called wax plum. This name was given by Su Shi and Huang Tingjian, two poets of the Song Dynasty, and before that, it had been called Huangmei. Wax plum and plum blossoms are completely different in terms of plant classification, so these two ancients are right.

In addition, because the wax plum blossom period is in the lunar month, it can also be called wax plum.

The wax plum blossoms in the midwinter when the flowers are withering, fighting the cold and arrogance, showing the unyielding character of the Chinese nation in the face of power, giving people spiritual enlightenment and enjoying beauty.

When the middle of winter comes, the traces of a hundred flowers are extinct, only the plum blossoms are broken, and Ling Xue blooms alone." At this time, the plum blossoms in Yanling bloomed one after another. The golden and clear plum attracts countless tourists to brave the cold to go there.
