#1284 — Pink blaze 野杜鹃的火焰
About this episode
Wu Fei performs a guzheng solo improvisation inspired by the wild pink azalea, highlighting its beauty and toxicity.
Good morning, afternoon, and evening, Today, I recorded a guzheng solo improvisation inspired by the wild pink azalea in the forest near my home in Nashville. They look innocently beautiful and smell incredible — but here’s the twist: the wild pink azalea is highly toxic to humans and animals, including the honey made from its flowers. This “mad honey” can cause poisoning if consumed. So, as lovely as they are, it’s only safe to admire them from a distance :) Hope this piece brings you a moment of joy!
