It's the season of enjoying wintersweet again. Some people call it "wintersweet" because its flowering season is in the twelfth lunar month; Some people also call it "Chimonanthus prunus" because the petals are like wax...

。
Outer petals Most of them are yellow, light yellow or yellow-white, commonly known as "yellow plum", so in our consciousness, yellow is the true color of wintersweet, but today, it's really not.

Vegetarian wintersweet : The overall flowers are larger, the color is lighter, mostly light yellow or yellow-white, and the petals of the inner wheel are pure yellow without variegation, like a pure land that has not been contaminated by the secular world.
Halo-heart wintersweet : The overall flower color is darker, mostly golden yellow or dark yellow, and the petals of the inner wheel are gradually dyed red and yellow, just like the smudge in ink painting, with rich layers.
Red heart wintersweet : The petals of the inner wheel are purple red, just like a purple gemstone, exuding a noble aura.
