Ornamental value

Wolfberry is a perennial plant. At high altitudes, it is generally in the Thymelaeaceae family. This flower is red before it blooms, but the flowers that bloom are white. One plant can have 10 to 20 flowers, each with 5 petals. Each flower is about 0.5 cm long, very small, but very cute. In high-altitude areas, because its branches and leaves were poisonous, herders discovered that it was given a name that was very inconsistent with its beauty. Since it is a herbaceous plant, its leaves are alternate and its flowers are very beautiful, so it can be used for appreciation.
