High Quality Red Flower

Red Flower Aliases: Red Blue Flower, Thorn SAFFLOWER, compositae, safflower plants, dry tubular flower, orange-red, narrow tube, apex 5-lobed, lobes narrowly linear, anthers yellow, combined into tube, above the lobes, the central stigma exposed. With a distinctive aroma, taste slightly bitter. It is better to have long piece, bright red color and soft quality. Mainly produced in Henan, Hunan, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Tibet and other places. It is helpful to treat amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, lochiorrhea, chest pain, stagnation of heart pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, injury, sore and swelling. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dispersing dampness and detumescence, avoiding pregnant women's use, otherwise it will cause abortion.

Characteristics: the Red Flower is a annual plant. Height (20)50-100(150) cm. Stems erect, distally branched, all stem branches white or Pale White, smooth, glabrous. Middle and lower stem leaves Lanceolate, lanceolate or oblong, 7-15 cm long, 2.5-6 cm wide, margin large serrate, double serrate, small serrate and even without serrate but entire, rarely pinnately parted, with needle-tipped teeth, the needles are 1-1.5 mm long, the leaves are gradually smaller upward, lanceolate, margin serrate, and the tooth tip needle is longer, up to 3 mm long. All leaves hard, leathery, both surfaces glabrous without glandular spots, glossy, base sessile, semiamplexicaul. Inflorescences numerous, arranged in corymbose inflorescences at apex of stem branches, enclosed by bracts, bracts elliptic or ovate-lanceolate, including apical needling 2.5-3 cm long, margin needled, needled 1-3 mm long, or needleless, apical Elongate, the needle is 2 mm long and has a labyrinth-shaped needle. Involucre ovate, 2.5 cm in Diam. INVOLUCRAL bracts 4-layered, outer layer harp-shaped, middle or lower with overflows, hanging above foliaceous, green, margin without needling or toothed needling, needling up to 3 mm long, apical acuminate, 1-2 mm long, yellow-white below overflows; middle inner layer dura-membranous, oblanceolate-elliptic to long oblanceolate, up to 2.3 cm long, apex acuminate. Bracts glabrous throughout, glandular punctate. Floret red, orange-red, all for Hermaphroditism, Corolla length 2.8 cm, thin tube length 2 cm, Corolla lobes up to the base of the EAVES. Achenes obovate, 5.5 mm long, 5 mm wide, Milky White, with 4 ribs, ribs projecting from apex of fruit, lateral faces. Hairless. Flowering may-august.

Growing Environment: safflower like warm, dry climate, strong cold resistance, poor tolerance. Drought-resistant and waterlogging-resistant, suitable for planting in well-drained, medium fertile sandy soil, oil sand, purple sand is the most suitable. The optimum temperature for germination is 15 ~ 25 °C, and the germination rate is about 80% . Adaptable, life cycle of 120 days. MOISTURE: SAFFLOWER root system is more developed, can absorb deep soil moisture, air humidity is too high, soil humidity is too large, will lead to a variety of diseases. When the temperature of seedling stage is below 15 °c, the temporary water accumulation in the field will not cause dead seedlings; in the high temperature season, even if the water accumulation is short-term, it will cause the death of safflower. During the flowering period, the pollen was not well developed when rain fell. During the ripening stage of the fruit, continuous overcast rain will cause the seed to germinate and affect the yield of the seed and oil. Although Carthamus Tinctorius L. is drought tolerant, proper irrigation is necessary to obtain high yield in arid climate. Temperature: Carthamus Tinctorius could germinate and grow in the range of 4 ~ 35 °C. The optimum temperature for seed Germination is 25ー30 °c, the optimum temperature for plant growth is 20ー25 °C, and the low temperature at 10 °C or so during the period of bud development results in poor development of flower organs. Illumination: Carthamus Tinctorius is a long sunshine plant. The length of sunshine affects not only the length of Rosette period, but also its flowering and fruiting. Full light conditions, so that safflower well-developed, full-bodied seeds. Nutrition: Carthamus Tinctorius can grow in different soil fertility, reasonable fertilization is one of the measures to obtain high yield, soil fertility is sufficient, nutrient content is comprehensive, the yield obtained is high. Soil: Although safflower can grow in various types of soil, but still deep soil, drainage good fertile neutral soil for the best.

Main function：Promoting blood circulation to clear channels and dispersing blood stasis to relieve pain. SAFFLOWER is warm in nature and pungent in taste. It is a kind of medicine for activating blood circulation and regulating meridians. It is mainly used for the symptoms of Amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, abdominal mass, chest tightness and heart pain, injury and so on. Also used in a variety of varicose veins, peripheral neuritis, poor blood circulation, leg numbness or cyanosis such as congestion. Because safflower is a kind of medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, pregnant women should use it carefully.
