Rarely seen Buddhist Udumbara flowers, which blossom every 3,000 years, was found under a washing machine in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi province, China Photo: REX

The Udumbara flower was found in the home of a Chinese nun in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi province, China.
The rare Youtan Poluo or Udumbara flower, which, according to Buddhist legend, only blooms every 3,000 years, measures just 1mm in diametre.

 

Miao Wei, 50, was cleaning when she discovered the cluster of white flowers under the washing machine.
At first she thought the barely-there stems were worm eggs, however, the next day she discovered that the stems had grown 18 white tiny flowers on top and smelled "fragrant".
Local temples believe the mini blooms are specimens of the miraculous Youtan Poluo flower - called "Udumbara" or "Udambara" in Sanskrit, meaning "an auspicious flower from heaven."

罕见的佛门奇花优昙婆罗花，每3000年才得见一次，开放在江西庐山上一台洗衣机下  图片来源：China Photo: REX

在江西庐山一位尼姑家里的洗衣机下，发现了优昙婆罗花。据佛教传奇记载，优昙婆罗花每三千年一发，花朵直径仅一毫米。
50岁的妙微Miao Wei在打扫卫生的时候，发现洗衣机下有一簇白色花。
起先她以为那些茎条只不过是虫子的卵，可是第二天她发现茎条顶上开出了18朵白色的小花，闻起来“很香”。
当地寺僧认为，奇妙的优昙婆罗花就是这样小小的白花——梵文的发音为“芜杜姆巴拉”或“乌达姆巴拉”，意为“来自天堂的吉祥之花”。
