Weeds in Wei Zitian

When I was a child, I often went to the farm to weed. What weeds are there on the farm? In fact, there are a lot of Polygonum cuspidatum and some weeds here, such as digitalis, plantain, dandelion, purslane, bark, Datura stramonium and Xanthium sibiricum. These plants only need some fertile soil and rain in the sky to grow normally. They are more tenacious than potted flowers such as hydrangea, jasmine, green algae, tiger orchid, hawksbill bamboo, lucky tree, cyclamen and rose.

In addition, there are some valuable weeds in the farmland. For example, the following "A Wild Grass" has certain ornamental value. The flowers of these plants are purplish red. This kind of flower is called "white pearl", which many flower lovers may not know, but this so-called weed is more precious and more precious. Let's have a look, let's have a look and get to know this plant.

A kind of "weeds" and "purplish red" flowers in farmland have been eradicated in the past and are now very valuable.
