Cosmos (波斯菊), Jungli (中壢), Taoyuan county (桃園).














Saw cosmos in my hometown, Jungli, Taoyuan county. Cosmos be popular in Taiwan just about 7 years. In the past, when rice harvested in Autumn time, farmer they don't grow any flowers, until during the new year. Most they will grow Rape (菜花). Until flower sea be popular in Taiwan, the more and more village they started growing Cosmos, from that time, you can see cosmos in everythere Taiwan, especially from these time to Chinese New Year. But now, things a little changed, farmers they grow Rape, Sun Flower, and Sun Hemp too. You know, be different. :)

看見波斯菊在我的家鄉桃園縣中壢市. 波斯菊受到歡迎在台灣約七年的時間. 在過去, 農人們於秋季將稻子收割後, 是不種花的, 直到快至新曆年. 多數也只種油菜花. 直到花海在台灣受歡迎, 愈來愈多的村莊開始種波斯菊. 自那時起, 您可見到波斯菊於台灣各地, 尤其是這段時間到農曆新年. 但現在, 又有些改變了, 農人們也種起了油菜花, 太陽花, 太陽麻. 您知道的, 就是要和別人不一樣.

碧湖, 如您從霧社前往清境, 您也許會在路上看到. "碧"中文的意思是深綠, 因為湖水看來是深綠的, 由此得名. 碧湖也是個水庫, 稱萬大水庫. 如您經過這, 請慢一點, 有時會有很美麗的風景, 等著您捕捉.

Camellia seed (苦茶籽)















Camellia seed. For old Taiwanese it's a treasure. It can make oil, cleaning supplies, etc...very useful. It were quiet for some time, almost 40years, and now return to popular a little by little. The oil nutrients according to medical reports higher than Olive oil. In some local market, or local specialty center you can find it. Worry about Taiwan's souvenirs what to carry? Camellia oil could be a good choice. :)

苦茶籽. 對老台灣人來說這是一個珍寶. 可以提煉油, 清潔產品相關等...非常好用. 它沉寂了一段時間, 約40年之久. 現在正一點一點的再次受到歡迎. 苦茶油的營養成分根據醫學報導高於橄欖油. 在某些傳統市場, 地方特產中心, 您都可以找到它. 煩惱台灣的手信要帶什麼好? 這可以是一個好選擇.
