Wu Yu Yu Plum Blossom is a traditional plum blossom (Prunus mume) variety belonging to the Zhusha variety group. It is renowned for its deep dark purple-red buds and rich purple petals. The flower form is butterfly-shaped, with about 4 layers of petals that are sparsely overlapping, the outer petals slightly rolled back, the inner petals slightly curled inward, undulating and fluttering. The front side features an intense bright red (deeper than the color of Gu Li Hong), while the back side is ink purple, overall giving a mysterious and noble visual effect. The flowers are moderately dense, usually with 1-2 blooms on long and medium flower branches, a few on short flower branches, with a flower diameter of 1.7-2.4 cm. The flowering period is from late February to mid-to-late March, making it suitable for ornamental plum blossom planting in courtyards or as bonsai.
Buds: Slightly flattened round shape, deep dark purple-red, with a velvety texture; Flower form: Butterfly type, petals about 4 layers, layered and overlapping, outer petals slightly rolled back, inner petals slightly curled inward, undulating and fluttering; Flower color: Front rich purple, back ink purple even richer; Stamens: Light rose red, shorter than or equal to the petals, varying in height, radiating to a clustered flower center. The flowers are vibrant.
This plum blossom is cultivated in places like Nanjing Plum Blossom Mountain and is reputed as one of the rare varieties, often blooming alongside Gongfen, Lü'e, and other plum blossom varieties. It inherits the cold resistance and noble symbolism of plum blossoms, but with a more unique flower color, and the woody part of the branches is dark purple-red (Gu Li Hong characteristic).
