The Cuiqun is the most representative blue flower family on the plateau. It is clear and elegant in shape. There are more than 100 kinds of Curvy Plants in China, most of which are distributed in high mountains in western Sichuan, northern Yunnan and eastern Tibet.

On the western Sichuan Plateau, you can often meet the blue custard. Their stems are thin and tall, and the wind is passing, and the string of flowers are jumping, just like a group of "Smurfs" who are playing together. They wore sharp hats and danced on the wind on the flower branches, which made people love.

In fact, the large and gorgeous blue "petals" of the blue green bird is five petals -like sepals. The long "bird tail" is extended from the upper sepage. From the front, the two yellow or white "hair" in the center of the flower center looks like two eyes. These are two degenerative stamens. The real petals are very small.

In terms of artificial cultivation, the growth of blue green birds has certain requirements for the soil. I like to grow in sandy soil that is smooth and breathable. When you can use sandy loam soil. In addition, they also like to grow in a sufficient sunshine environment, and the plants avoid the hot climate, and should be transferred to the indoor ventilated place under high temperature conditions in summer.
