The whole poem of Plum Blossoms Joyfully Filling the Sky with Snow is about snow-laden winter clouds and white catkins flying, and thousands of flowers fading for a while. The cold current is rolling high in the sky, and the earth is slightly warm.

Only a hero can drive away tigers and leopards, and no hero is afraid of bears. Plum blossoms fill the sky with joy, but it is not surprising that flies freeze to death.

The translation is that the heavy snow is pressing down on the winter clouds and the snowflakes are flying, and all the purple and red colors wither in an instant. At that moment when dark clouds are rolling in the sky and the cold current is rushing, a ray of warmth will blow away the harsh winter. When faced with tigers, leopards, and bears, heroes cannot change their will and spirit. Facing the heavy snow in the sky, the plum blossoms were very happy. They were not afraid of the severe cold at all and would only freeze to death those weak flies.

Physiological properties of plum blossoms

Plum plums are small trees, sparse shrubs, 4-10 meters high; the bark is light gray or green, smooth; the branchlets are green, smooth and hairless. The leaves are ovate or elliptical, 4-8 cm long and 2.5-5 cm wide, with a sharp tip and a pointed tail, and a wide wedge-shaped to rounded base. The edges of the leaves often have small sharp serrations, are gray-green, and are covered with pubescence on both sides when young. It gradually falls off as it grows, or only the lower veins and axillary areas have pubescence.

The petiole is 1-2 cm long, hairy when young, falls off when old, and often has glands. The flowers are solitary or sometimes 2 are born in one bud, 2-2.5 cm in diameter, with a strong fragrance and bloom before the leaves.

The pedicel is short, about 1-3 mm long, often hairless; the calyx is usually reddish-brown, but some species have green or green-purple calyx; the calyx tube is wide, bell-shaped, hairless or sometimes short and soft. Hairy; sepals ovate or nearly round, apex rounded and blunt. The petals are obovate, white to pink. Stamens short or slightly longer than petals. Ovary densely pubescent, style short or slightly longer than stamens.
