Plants with bizarre names but stunning looks, how many have you seen?

Nature's uncanny craftsmanship has created all kinds of plants. Some plants, such as azaleas, lily of the valley, and baby's breath, are not only highly ornamental but also have beautiful names.

Ghost Blowing Xiao is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with the effects of breaking blood and regulating menstruation, dispelling wind and removing dampness, resolving phlegm and calming wheezing, and promoting urination and reducing swelling.

Human Blood Grass

It is said that one day, when Shennong went out to look for medicinal herbs, he suddenly found blood all over his hands and body. He examined himself carefully and realized he was not injured. Where on earth did the blood come from? It turned out that as he walked, he had broken a plant by the roadside called "Human Blood Grass." Once this grass is broken, it exudes a bright red leaf sap, and because it closely resembles human blood, it is called "Human Blood Grass."
