One summer evening, from the balcony of my house, I caught the sound of a blossom opening. The buds of the blossoms had taken shape two or three days earlier, and the buds were getting bigger and bigger, drooping like spindles at the end of the branches. That night, I guess it will open, then in the balcony all night guarding, patiently waiting, waiting. Nearly midnight eleven o'clock, that wonderful moment finally came in anxious anticipation. Its buds slowly bulging up, as if the original dried balloon all of a sudden into the wind, and then, I heard a "poof" sound, that is the sound of my long-awaited blossoms open. I saw the stamen, which was made up of many long, white petals, open quickly and brilliantly. Fascinated, as if in front of the eyes jumped out of a long-sleeved dance of the Qianlong, only a moment, will be ashamed of the sky that half a summer moon, the beauty of the flame of light, spread to the city streets, so that the canyon of the night for the glittering bright.
In addition to the blossoms, I also really hear the sound of the camellias opening. Camellia opening is not the kind of "acute", as early as in the summer, its buds in the branches and leaves began to nurture, the beginning of only a grain of rice that size, and the shape of the leaf buds are almost indistinguishable, after a few days, its embryonic form is only slightly revealed, and then a few days, it's the solid. A few more days, its firm body and the loose body of the leaf buds are clearly distinguishable. Camellia bud growth, is a long process, like a long-distance traveler, walked through the summer, and then walked through the fall, to the winter, the head of the pointed oval bud, the petals such as scales heavily wrapped in the bud, only finally show in front of you, but from the opening is still some days. I planted in the balcony of the plant camellia, called "five treasures camellia", branch **** have more than a dozen buds, as if there is a pact between them, who opened first and who opened later. That day is a day off, I finally saw the first ready to open the buds are a little different, it is slightly trembling, trembling, as if it is a sleeping beauty, sleeping on the balcony for a long time, for a long time, only now in the dark green branches and leaves between the awakening, drowsy eyes, fluttering eyelashes, slightly open, open. The sound of the opening is the complete opposite of the "poof" of the blossom, it is so subtle, so soft, soothing. The sound of the blossom opening is short, the sound of the camellia opening is long, no matter short or long, are so beautiful, so charming. From this, I decided: the sound of flowers is one of the most beautiful music in nature, or a kind of heavenly music!
Flowers like this, all the beautiful things in the world is not so. When it suddenly appeared, there will also be a different kind of information, a kind of sound similar to the blossoming of flowers, that is a kind of civilization of the sound of the flower opening. The good thing of the conception, germination, maturity, there is a gradual process, perhaps in the middle of a wave of twists and turns, by some kind of repression and confinement. When it "breaks out of the cocoon" or "breaks through the wall", there will be a big shock wave ah, that moment of bright impact, to bring people an infinite surprise. This kind of sound, you only keep a pure, white heart, in the smallest place can be heard. For the beautiful things, do not have a sense of detachment, to put it under their care, with their wings and body temperature to incubate and catalyze it, so that you can hear another "heavenly music" in time.
For a long time, I have been fascinated by the sound of various flowers blooming. I have always believed that in this world, talking is a way, listening is also a way. A person can hear the sound of flowers blooming is very happy, because the moment the flowers bloom, will be the most fully unfolded things inside and outside the beauty, will bring you an aesthetic pleasure and emotional satisfaction.
