When do the locust flowers bloom? The locust flowers have finally bloomed

🌿As a child, I was particularly curious about locust flowers, because I always thought they were a plant from the north. Later, in music class, I learned the song 'When do the locust flowers bloom?' and discovered that it was actually a Sichuan folk song❗️I was shocked by my own ignorance🤣 🌿Later, I consciously sought them out and found that Chengdu also has quite a few locust trees. Even the greenways have them❗️ 🎋The tender green locust leaves paired with the white, stringed locust flowers are truly a delight to the eye. 🍃The well-known phrase 'a jade tree in the wind' comes from Du Fu's 'Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking', where Du Fu uses it to describe Cui Zongzhi's dashing and handsome appearance. Some believe that the 'jade tree' refers to the magnolia, while others think it is the locust tree. 🌴Can you actually eat locust flowers❓❗️At first, I thought there was only locust honey, but after a trip to Shanxi, I discovered that locust flowers can be used in cooking and also in medicine. Truly, every part of it is a treasure❗️ 🌱Now is the blooming season for locust trees, with strings of white locust flowers adorning the branches, and the air is filled with a light and elegant fragrance, refreshing to the soul. 🍀Indeed, it is as they say—'With the spring breeze comes overnight, the scent of locust flowers carries for miles.'
