Never buy this dried flower. Now is the best time to buy flowers before the Spring Festival. Many people will use this time to go to the flower market to buy some beautiful New Year's Eve flowers and put them in Gary. Keeping them at home can add a lot of temperament. Never buy this dried flower.
Never buy this kind of dried flower 1. There is still more than a month before the Spring Festival, and many citizens have begun to buy flowers and dried flowers to decorate their homes. At this time of the year, wildlife conservationists can find wild Rhododendron Hinggan on the online platform. It is worth mentioning that the wild Rhododendron Hinggan is a key protected wild plant in Daxinganling area, and picking and trading are prohibited. Once illegally felled, it will cause great damage to the local ecology. Even so, when the reporter of New Yellow River conducted an investigation on the e-commerce platform, he still found that some merchants sold it at the price of 18 yuan. ......
18 yuan can buy 30 rhododendrons in Xing 'an.
"Some people sell Rhododendron Hinggan on the Internet", "The so-called Rhododendron macrophyllum is sold as always, and there is no change", "There are still so many people buying it every year" ... Searching for the keyword "Rhododendron Hinggan" in Weibo, you can see the demands of many wildlife protectors.
Netizens spontaneously called for the protection of Rhododendron Xing 'an.
According to public information, Rhododendron Xing 'an belongs to Ericaceae, with a height of 2 meters and many branches. The flowering period is about April and May every year, and it is the city flower of Yichun City. It is distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, eastern Inner Mongolia, eastern mountainous areas of Liaoning and large and small Xing 'an Mountains.
Wild Rhododendron Xing 'an is often sold online as a "living flower" because of its beautiful appearance and not afraid of cold, especially around the Spring Festival.
"Business will be harmful. Wild rhododendrons in Xing 'an, Northeast China have been cut down on a large scale. "A wildlife protector told the New Yellow River reporter that Rhododendron Xing 'an was not artificially propagated, but due to its growing environment and cycle, most of the low-priced Rhododendron Xing 'an sold in the market in recent years were illegally cut down. Under the supervision of the media and garden departments, the number of businesses selling wild azaleas in Xing 'an has gradually decreased in the past two years, but some people still "steal to sell".
On the afternoon of the 28th, the reporter of New Yellow River searched for the words "flowering in water" on the e-commerce platform, and found that there were indeed businesses secretly selling Xing 'an Rhododendron. The flower displayed on its home page is snow willow, but in the shopping cart column, you can see the option of "dry branch flower", and its picture is Rhododendron Hinggan. 18.8 yuan can buy 30 branches. When communicating with the merchant, the other party admitted that they were selling rhododendron in Xing 'an. Regarding whether it is' wild', the merchant said, "Haha, some questions can't be answered directly, understand?"
It is illegal to sell wild Rhododendron Hinggan, and the industrialization project has now started.
The reporter of the New Yellow River noticed that as early as 20 17, Huzhong District, Daxinganling, Heilongjiang Province issued the Notice on Prohibiting the Collection and Sale of Rhododendron Xing 'an, which started the "Defence War" of wild Rhododendron Xing 'an. In September, 20021,the National Forestry and Grassland Bureau and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs published the list of national key protected wild plants, and the wild Rhododendron dauricum has been listed as the second-class national key protected wild plants.
According to Article 344 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), those who endanger plants under special state protection, illegally cut or destroy plants under special state protection in precious trees or other countries, or illegally purchase, transport, process or sell plants under special state protection in precious trees or other countries and their products shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control, and shall also be fined; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.
According to the report of Heilongjiang Daily on February 25th, 65438, the first rhododendron ecological industrialization project in Xing 'an was officially signed in Huma County, Daxing 'anling. "It is estimated that after the first year of production, 2 million rhododendron seedlings can be produced, which can alleviate the market demand to a considerable extent."
In this regard, wildlife conservationists said that the project is of great significance to the protection and utilization of wild Rhododendron Hinggan. "We also expect that the artificially cultivated Rhododendron dauricum can replace the wild Rhododendron dauricum in the market. Before that, I hope everyone will stop buying wild Rhododendron Xing 'an, and don't let it be slaughtered because of its beauty. "
Don't buy this dried flower. Now is the best time to buy flowers before Chinese New Year. Many people will take this time to go to the flower market to buy some beautiful New Year's Eve flowers and put them in Gary, which is not only very ornamental, but also adds a lot of temperament to the family. It looks very beautiful But now the flower market is mixed, so if you want to buy beautiful flowers, keep your eyes open. Some flowers are not recommended. Why? Because Huahua can't bear to see it, I believe that after explaining the reasons, Huahua's friends will have the same idea as Huahua, so we can discuss it.
Rhododendron drynaria
I believe that if many friends who like to grow flowers often pay attention to some horticultural bloggers, they will definitely see that the content often published by these horticultural bloggers is "No buying and selling azaleas". So what is the reason?
Mainly because the plant Drynaria fortunei was originally a wild rhododendron growing in Daxinganling. We often hear that Jindalai flowers and Rhododendron Hinggan refer to Rhododendron drynaria. This plant, which was supposed to be stolen all the year round, has now become an endangered plant. The pink flowers that used to be everywhere have become sparse and ugly.
If the flowers of Rhizoma Drynariae grow naturally, it will take many years to grow. Why is it cheap? Because unscrupulous merchants have no cost at all when harvesting, this kind of zero-cost logging is cheaper to sell, and there are few cultivated azaleas. Why? Because the cost of artificial breeding is too high, who will invest so much money and finally sell it for only a dozen dollars? In fact, this kind of flower is not very beautiful when it is bought home and inserted in water. Very sparse. Only what belongs to nature is the most beautiful. Therefore, Huahua appeals to everyone that if you see this dried rhododendron in the flower market, flower friends should not buy it. If you don't buy or sell, there is no piracy!
Don't buy more than three dark branches when you meet this kind of dry branch flower. After soaking in water for a week, the buds will bloom and the flowers will become colorful ... As the Spring Festival approaches, many people may buy some flowers or dried branches to decorate them, so as to add festive atmosphere to their homes. As we all know, the so-called dried peaches and plums sold on some online platforms are actually Rhododendron Hinggan, a national second-class protected plant in Northeast China. The online price is as low as 80 cents.
In order to curb the increasingly crazy piracy, the relevant state departments have listed the wild Rhododendron Hinggan as a national second-class key protected plant since September 20021. Popular science writers and plant protection experts call on consumers to keep their eyes open and not to buy azaleas by mistake. Lawyers said that those who illegally collect sellers can be investigated for criminal responsibility if the circumstances are serious. The network platform also needs to take the responsibility of management.
Survey: The "dry flowers" sold by the three merchants are all azaleas.
"The dried azaleas sold online are all cut on the mountain, so don't buy them. In recent years, piracy has greatly reduced the resources of wild Rhododendron Hinggan, and there is no piracy without buying and selling. " Plant protectionists stressed.
Zhai Mengmeng is a popular science blogger. He constantly disseminates relevant plant protection knowledge from the media platform through the Internet. According to his tips, the reporter searched for the keyword "Rhizoma Drynariae" on multiple e-commerce platforms, and did not directly find relevant results. However, when searching for words such as "plum blossom" and "plum blossom", we can see some phenomena of selling real azaleas under false flower names.
Subsequently, the reporter selected a store from each of the three platforms to inquire about the situation, and the bid was about 1 yuan per branch. When they learned that they were going to buy in bulk, the merchant offered a discount, with a minimum of 80 cents. As for the length of flowering, the store said it was 10 to 15 days.
When asked if they could provide flowers in kind, the three stores were unwilling to provide them directly. When the reporter asked for it again, two of the merchants provided a "real shot map" and the other merchant directly called "no shot".
When asked about the source of the dry branches, all three stores said they cultivated them themselves, but none of them was willing to provide pictures of the base.
Dramatically, the reporter of Beiqing Daily directly consulted the merchants whether they were selling dried flowers, saying that they wanted to wholesale a large number of dried flowers in the store, but they were worried that more people would cause trouble. The attitudes of the three stores are completely different.
The first merchant immediately said, "Don't place an order, you don't need it". In the face of doubt, the merchant directly replied "Don't contact" and blacked out the reporter.
The second store replied "there are red berries" and "there are dried plums" after understanding the concerns raised by the buyers. When the reporter asked whether the "Snow Willow Fresh Branch" to be filmed at present was a cuckoo, the merchant admitted that it was a cuckoo, but claimed that it was "cultivated by ourselves" and assured the reporter that it would not be illegal. In the comments below, most customers are satisfied with the goods and don't realize that they bought azaleas. The most common words in the comment area are "good quality and low price", "beautiful" and "really blooming".
Another merchant made it clear to reporters that they were selling dried bougainvillea, but many customers in the product comment area reported that "what they received was different from the picture, and what they sent was dried bougainvillea, not red bougainvillea". When the reporter asked if it could be put into the store, the store promised to be "safe". Will not be reported, and will not break the law. "
Appraised by knowledgeable people, all three businesses sell azaleas.
Piracy: Illegal collection and sale of wild Rhododendron Hinggan is suspected of violating the law.
Every winter, near the Spring Festival, a kind of dry branch flower that claims to be a dead tree and witnesses a miracle will secretly appear on major online sales platforms. Merchants have given it many names, such as dried rhododendron, dried flower, dried plum blossom and dried peach blossom ... but they dare not use its real name-Rhododendron Xing 'an. Even on the product details page, you can't see its true colors. Go to the buyer's comment area to see its true colors.
Zhai, a popular science blogger, introduced relevant knowledge about Rhizoma Drynariae before being interviewed by the reporter of Beiqing Daily. Zhai said that the purpose of doing this is obvious, because they know very well that it is illegal to illegally collect and sell wild azaleas in Xing 'an.
After more than ten years of deforestation and predatory destruction, the wild rhododendron in Daxinganling area, which was originally rich in resources, finally exceeded the limit that species could bear, and its resources decreased sharply. On September 7th, 20021year, the wild Rhododendron dauricum was listed as a national second-class key protected plant in the new List of National Key Protected Wild Plants.
Zhai Mengmeng said that Rhododendron Xing 'an is mainly distributed in high-latitude cold regions such as Heilongjiang, Jilin and Inner Mongolia, and the annual growth period is only over three months. It blooms in May and June and bears fruit in July, during which new branches sprout and grow. By September, the flower bud differentiation ended and began to enter a dormant state.
"From seed germination to plant flowering, Rhododendron dahuricum has to wait for 4 to 5 years under good artificial management." Zhai told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that since 20 17, the media has been concerned about the theft of Rhododendron in Xing 'an, and the network platform has been adjusted accordingly to block related keywords, but some sellers still quietly sell under the banner of other branches. "If it is really an artificially cultivated plant, there is no need to hide it when selling it."
A few days ago, Zhai saw someone selling two kinds of dry branches in a flower market, one was snow willow with dry branches, and the other was azalea with dry branches, and he recognized them at a glance. "The seller of the booth doesn't necessarily know Du Fu. It is said to be the same name as plum blossom. After I reported it, the market supervision department intervened in the investigation and the goods were removed. "
Zhai said that at present, rhododendrons in other parts of China have not been found to be sold as dry branches, and the cost of artificial breeding is high, so it is impossible to sell them at extremely low prices.
Regulation: Wild Rhododendron Hinggan has been listed as a second-class protected plant.
Jin Jiannan, a lawyer of Beijing Huazhitao Law Firm, believes that according to Article 344 of the Criminal Law and the administrative regulation "Regulations on the Protection of Wild Plants in People's Republic of China (PRC)", the former stipulates as follows: "Whoever illegally cuts and destroys plants under special protection in precious trees or other countries in violation of state regulations, or illegally purchases, transports, processes and sells plants under special protection in precious trees and their products shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and fined. "
Other national key protected plants in the regulations refer to the species listed in the list of national key protected wild plants. Moreover, the "Electronic Commerce Law" clearly stipulates that e-commerce operators may not sell or provide goods or services that are prohibited from trading by laws and administrative regulations.
According to the above regulations, the wild Rhododendron Xing 'an is listed as a second-class protected plant in the List of National Key Protected Wild Plants. It is illegal for merchants to illegally collect and sell wild rhododendron in Xing 'an, and those who are serious will bear criminal responsibility; E-commerce platform operators have the responsibility to review whether the operators in the platform have the main qualifications and whether the goods sold are legal. For the goods prohibited from being sold in some countries, if the platform is not blocked or disconnected, it will bear corresponding civil and administrative responsibilities.
Finally, Mr. Jin reminded not to buy wild azaleas. No business, no harm.
Memory: Over-collection of Rhododendron dahuricum led to rapid population decline.
Gu Lei, an associate professor at Capital Normal University and a doctor of botany, said in an interview that Rhododendron Hinggan is a relatively common species, mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia and other regions in China, as well as Japan, North Korea, Russia and Mongolia.
Rhododendron in Xing 'an is a semi-evergreen shrub, that is, some leaves will be lost in winter, but not necessarily completely. Some leaves will remain and buds will bloom in early spring. Because the buds were bred before the leaves fell in the previous autumn, there will be a phenomenon that dead branches can bloom when they are picked back and soaked in water.
Gu Lei introduced that in recent years, some people hope to rely on Xing 'an Rhododendron to get rich. Because of its bright color, it is popular and has a huge market sales, but the lack of artificial cultivation poses a serious threat to the wild population of this plant.
"When we judge whether a species is endangered and needs protection, we should not only look at the size of its existing population, but also look at the trend of its population change." Gu Lei said that due to over-collection, the population of Rhododendron Xing 'an decreased significantly and rapidly. "In order to curb this phenomenon, everyone suggested that it be included in the national list of key protected wild plants. After the new catalogue comes out, it is necessary to strengthen the management of collections and transactions. "
Regarding the statement that some merchants claim to be artificial breeding, Gu Lei believes that artificial breeding, even if it exists, is small in scale and cannot reach the level of large-scale supply market. If wild azaleas can be sold, who will spend money and energy on artificial cultivation? It takes a long time to breed woody flowers, and there is no return in the short term, so the cost will be high. Online platforms or markets often 10 go to 20 yuan to buy a large bunch, which must be from other places, and there is no cost. E-commerce platforms generally block keywords. In fact, it is difficult to stop those businesses that only pay attention to money and sell them with another keyword. "We also call on relevant departments to strengthen the crackdown, so that bad businesses dare not adopt and dare not sell."
