I have long admired the cherry blossom garden in Changguan, but because of too many trivial things in the daily life, and I don't know the exact location of the garden, I slowly forgot about it. Suddenly, I heard that the Poetry Society organized the activities - a group tour of the cherry blossom garden, then secretly excited. My God! Many days of desire is finally going to be realized!
Cherry blossom garden is located in the west section of the People's Road, sitting in the car, far away from the garden door can be seen, above the brilliant as the cherry blossoms of the signboard font especially eye-catching. Tour bus in the garden right turn left turn has been to the depths of the drive. Outside the car window, into the eye is a clear color of "green" - dark green, light green, yellow with green. Where are the cherry blossoms? I leaned on the car window carefully searching, looking forward to that "a little red among the green bushes" to bring the stunning, looking forward to "colorful" to bring the shock.
The garden can be really big ah! The car drove a few minutes, the driver master has not slowed down the intention. Tired of looking at the green leaves will want to close their eyes and think: Is it cherry trees are planted in the winding paths to the quiet place? At this time, the car of an elder took the initiative to do the introduction: "everyone see: this all the way to the road on both sides of the planting are cherry trees, but the flowering period has passed, can only wait for next year again. This garden *** there are more than twenty kinds of cherry blossoms, about more than 80,000 plants, is the province's largest cherry blossom planting base. Divided into early cherry blossoms, middle cherry blossoms and late cherry blossoms, early cherry blossoms have varieties such as 'China Red', 'Red Pink Beauty' and 'Sunshine Cherry Blossoms', which blossom in the second half of February and the first half of March in the solar calendar; middle cherry blossoms mainly have 'Someiyoshino', which is the most famous cherry blossom in the world. There are 'Someiyoshino cherry', 'Edo Pikisakura' and so on, which bloom in the middle and late March; late cherry mainly has 'Puxian Elephant Cherry', 'Red Leaf Safflower Cherry The late cherry blossom trees are mainly 'Pohon Elephant Cherry' and 'Red Leaf Saffron Cherry', which bloom from late March to mid-April. So many cherry blossom trees open one after another, and when the blossom period falls, billions of falling cherry blossoms fly, constituting a magnificent landscape of blossom clusters. It's a pity that we came a few days late, I don't know if there is any kind of late cherry blossom waiting for us ......" The words of the elders let me rekindle hope, even if there can be one or two trees can slightly make up for the regret.
The car stopped in a small square. I circled around the square, looked around and did not see the cherry blossoms, the heart is quite lost, then follow Mr. Li a few people to the left side of the square to the path.
? "Wow! There are purple acacia flowers? Inflorescence is still so long, can also eat raw?" I remembered a bunch of half-open acacia flowers handed to me by my two traveling companions before I got on the bus. At that time, I put on the tip of the nose gently sniffed, the flowers are not yet fully open, the aroma is not big, then picked two buds into the mouth and slowly chewed, suddenly felt full of fragrance, that is a kind of additive ingredients, the most real flavor ah! My mind turned: Can I eat the purple acacia flowers? Brain and suddenly flashed out of the red, pink acacia flowers, that is somewhere in the green belt to see, and then sighed: this acacia flower color can be really much ah!
Fellow teacher Li glanced at me and said softly: "This is not acacia, it is wisteria ." Instantly, I was ashamed of my own ignorance, and no longer dare to say one more word, not to mention not dare to touch a small flower.
? This is the wisteria? I instantly recalled the learned text "Wisteria Falls", the text of the sentence is still clearly remembered: "The large purple banner, flooded with dots of silver light, like bursts of splashing water. When you look closely, you realize that it is the palest part of each purple flower, teasing each other with the sunlight ...... Here, in addition to the luster, there is also a faint fragrance, the aroma seems to be light purple as well, dreamy and gently enveloping me ......"
Originally thought that wisteria is the flower in the book, it only exists in the story, open in other people's world, I have no chance to meet in this life. It turns out it's all around us, so I really should get out more.
This is my first time to see the real wisteria, look around, the long inflorescence hanging on the vine, in the breeze, like purple tassels in front of the eyes slightly trembling, extension, purple splash, so that people's hearts are also for the tremor. Today there is no sunshine, there is no chance to see the mischievous little flowers that tease the sunshine, to see a strict tutelage, hands and feet are exquisite flower girl.
The director of the garden is our hometown of Miaozhai town, he patiently introduced: "Our garden is mainly cherry blossoms, unfortunately the late cherry blossom period has just passed, and now the garden is about to bloom flowers is the wisteria. There are many varieties of wisteria, from the color: white, purple, red; from the length of the inflorescence, there are short and long. You see, above our heads these inflorescences are shorter, is the local varieties, many have not yet bloomed; there are some varieties of inflorescences longer, about sixty or seventy centimeters, hanging down like a waterfall, when in full bloom looks especially spectacular, especially beautiful!
Listened to the gardener's introduction, can not help but doubt in mind: wisteria flowers have other colors? They are not named after the color? So before I thought the red acacia flowers will be a kind of wisteria?
It is really what you think what, in the neighborhood actually saw the acacia flowers. I carefully observed: white acacia flowers hanging in bunches on the tree, inflorescences about a dozen centimeters, small buds simple, clean and elegant. Each blooming flower, slightly curled, reserved, but exudes a refreshing fragrance. Then look at the acacia tree, its branches and trunks stubbornly stood. Suddenly I blamed myself. The acacia tree is a great general of wind and sand, how could I treat the acacia flower as just a small flower that embellishes my life? I confirm: I used to see the red acacia flower, because of its branches and trunks - it is a tree, but also a loyal guardian of dust and sand, defending the home.
Turning back to the wisteria, the purple flowers are arranged in an orderly fashion, hanging down like the fluffy shoulder-length curls of a young girl in flower. The key to the difference between wisteria and acacia is the word "vine". The branches of wisteria climb and twist, like a slender dancer twisting her soft and slim waist. Wisteria flower color noble, blooming piece of atmosphere, it is the flower of the noblewoman! It is the messenger of beauty to dress up life!
Mr. Li said:? Wisteria flowers can be both medicinal and edible, it has the effect of detoxification, pain relief. As a gourmet, wisteria flowers and acacia flowers are similar to eat, you can blanch and cold, can also be steamed; do porridge or soup, are very delicious; stir some batter, sprinkle into the wisteria flowers, made of flower cakes, color nice and delicious ......
Speaking of food, led to the stomach grumbling echo. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and you'll be able to eat them. The flowering period of the wisteria has just begun, and more people will come here to recognize the wisteria and fall in love with the wisteria, and thus love our beautiful home - Changyuan!
