Have you ever seen a tree that blooms like flowers? According to a recent report from Guangzhou Lanpu, there's an unusual tree standing about 3 meters tall in the flower bushes of the eastern part of the area. This tree is actually blooming, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like clusters of purple mushrooms, with a beautiful and eye-catching color. The tree has been in bloom for over two months, drawing many visitors who are amazed by its unique appearance.
This rare plant is called "fork leaf wood," native to Mexico. It produces purple flowers that resemble small goblets, blooming directly on the main branches or older trunks. It flowers in summer and into autumn, with only a few blooms in the off-season. So far, only eight species of this type have been identified worldwide, and this is the only one found in China. Due to its unusual growth pattern and striking visual appeal, it has captured the interest of horticulturists and has become a precious ornamental tree in Chinese gardens.
According to staff at Lanpu, although the park is mainly known for its orchid collections, it has been cultivating a wide variety of trees for over half a century. In total, more than 5,000 trees have been planted. Alongside the fork leaf wood, there are also several rare and exotic species, such as the giant Mexican cedar and the red millet tree, which flowers throughout the year. Additionally, Lanpu is home to two Podocarpus trees that are over 200 years old, making them quite rare in Guangzhou. These unique specimens not only add to the park’s beauty but also serve as living examples of biodiversity and botanical heritage.
