Rare and hard to find white safflower flowers in the Northwest mountains
Although safflower has been grown in our country for a long time, not too many people know or see the flower in many places. Perhaps partly because the climate in the North and Central is not the ideal weather for plants to grow. Currently, this flower is only grown in a few mountainous provinces in the North and in the South, so the number of flowers sold in the market is not much.
In addition to the familiar rum name, this flower is also known by many other names such as water lily, Arum lily,… Safflower originated in South Africa, then was popular and grown popular all over the world in the past few years. That includes Vietnam.
Rum belongs to the herbaceous plant, often grows on the edge of the bush and grows in sunny places. The average tree is 1-1.5 meters tall. Leaves are oval or heart-shaped, about 8-12cm long.
It is currently nearing the end of the safflower season, so the price is also higher. The price of each bouquet of safflower is listed for sale from 80,000 VND to 95,000 VND/bundle of 10 safflower flowers with 3 decorative young leaves. This type of flower is not much in quantity, so it is rarely sold at traditional markets, if you want to buy it, you should visit fresh flower shops or online flower market groups.
“Safflower is the least planted place in this North, the flowers she sells all have to be ordered from the mountainous provinces or a few familiar gardeners. This flower is also picky about guests, so fewer people buy it than other flowers with the same price. It’s also high. But those who are familiar with flowers are quite fond of this flower, most of the rum flowers I sell to customers who have pre-ordered almost every year.”Ms. Hoa (Trung Kinh, Hanoi) shared.
In terms of the color of the safflower flowers, the most commonly seen are the white flowers. Besides, this flower also has many other colors such as purple, yellow or even orange, pink and red with bright yellow pistil inside.
Most of our country’s safflower flowers are only white or yellow, other colors will usually be imported flowers. Flowers usually grow tall into buds 15-20cm long.
Safflower is considered a symbol of purity and radiance. That is also the reason why this flower often appears in European weddings. Many European families like to plant safflower in their garden because safflower also symbolizes the return, reunion, and reunion of the family.
To arrange a beautiful safflower vase is not easy. Because the safflower branches are quite large, adjusting the flower shape so that it is soft also requires a certain skill. Safflower usually attached with 1-3 young leaves of the plant will be more beautiful. If you play for a long time, it can be more than 2 weeks, but normally the flowers will be at their most beautiful from 7 to 9 days.
