In the north, spring temperatures fluctuate unpredictably.
The flowers on the roadside trees have already bloomed; magnolia and cherry blossoms have revealed their beautiful forms.
For those who love eating wild vegetables, the flowers on these trees are also a major focus, as some can be eaten as a fresh delicacy.
There's one unforgettable flower that looks like a "caterpillar." It can startle people when it falls from the trees, but once it drops, many will wait to gather it and make delicious, large steamed buns.
This flower is the poplar catkin.
In the north, people like to call it "busy for nothing."
This is because it's always swaying in the wind, looking very busy, but in reality, a gust of wind is all it takes to make it fall. All that busyness for nothing.
Although the name has a slightly negative connotation, it's a delicious wild vegetable from the trees.
