Maybe you’ve never heard of these expressions (表达) before. Now more and more people fall in love with the delicious flower dishes in Yunnan.
The people in Yunnan have been eating flowers for a long time. After the Spring Festival, March is always the best time to eat the flowers. One popular kind of flower is Tangli Flowers (棠梨花), which can be picked in the mountains. The flower sellers say it is very hard to pick two kilos of these flowers each time. They have to climb up to the tall trees and pick up the flowers carefully. Have you ever tried Tangli Flowers? They taste a little sweet!
The other kind is Jinque Flowers (金雀花). This kind of flower is also used as helpful medicine when people don’t want to eat anything! My grandma can cook Jinque Flowers very well. She says it’s a traditional way to cook Jinque Flowers with eggs. How delicious and healthy!
