There is a pot of jasmine on the balcony of my house. Although it is not as noble as a rose, not as fragrant as a narcissus, not as gorgeous as a peony, and does not have the charm of a lily, it is in bud and ready to bloom, with a pleasant fragrance and full of beauty. A simple beauty, fresh and elegant.
When jasmine is not blooming, the green leaves on the branches look full of vitality. From a distance, they look like clusters of emerald green pom-poms. Its leaves are oval, green and lovely. In the early morning, many shiny water columns rolled on the green leaves. Under the sunlight, the leaves were green and shiny, like new lives trembling. Strips of flowers stretch out of the pot, and the tops of the flowers are green and tiny new leaves. The leaves are working hard to grow, accumulating strength for next year's flowering.
Among the green leaves, there are small and snow-white jasmine flowers. Its petals are extremely small and have delicate yellow stamens, which are bright and attractive. On the tender branches, jasmine reveals its shy little face from the cascading green leaves. Its snow-white petals tremble slightly in the breeze, filling the air with a light fragrance. Look, the green leaves of the jasmine flower are holding the small buds, exhaling a charming fragrance, like a shy girl. They are hiding among the green leaves, as if they are playing hide and seek with me! Each flower is more beautiful than the other, and each flower has its own posture. Some flowers only unfold two or three petals, some are fully unfolded, and some are still flower buds! A breeze blows, and the jasmine flowers sway in the wind, exuding bursts of light fragrance, which is refreshing and intoxicating.
Jasmine always blooms from June to October, with the largest blooms in July. Bone buds the size of millet grains grew out from the top of the green flower buds. The flower buds grow bigger and bigger, as big as corn kernels. The next day, among the green leaves studded with budding flowers, there were three or two white flowers, which were delicate, delicious, and layered on top of each other. Looking at the little flowers, I feel happy. The bigger and more jasmine flowers bloom, the more fragrant they become. At the beginning of summer, jasmine flowers hang buds in batches and bloom in batches. What a warm and fragrant jasmine flower. The connotation of jasmine flower is colorful. What I give you is a delicate fragrance with profound charm, and the snow spots, hanging flower buds and blooming snowflakes are also very restrained. It is really fragrant, beautiful and refreshing. The jasmine in my heart is slender and delicate, elegant and fragrant, and otherworldly.
Because of its white and tender snow, people have given it many beautiful names, such as white angel, snow elf, etc. It seems that before every name, it is either white or snow, and snow also belongs to That kind of holy white, indeed, Jasmine is the white that deserves the name.
Jasmine has no magical story, nor any beautiful legend. It is just an ordinary citizen of the plant kingdom. Its small petals surround the stamens, forming a small and exquisite jasmine flower. The white jasmine blooms on the thin branches. From a distance, the jasmine flowers look like fairies in plain clothes, often attracting bees to dance around them.
The jasmine flowers are even more beautiful after the storm! When the wind stops and the rain stops, the dark green leaves of jasmine are green and the flowers are in bud. When the flowers bloom, the fragrance fills the entire house, making you feel intoxicated and as if you are in a paradise. I deeply inhale the fragrance it emits. Although it is not rich, it is very fragrant; although it is not noble, it is also elegant.
Jasmine likes to bloom quietly at night, never attracting attention. Her bloom made no sound, because it was afraid of waking up the sleeping people and disturbing their sweet dreams. Late at night, with stars twinkling in the sky, it quietly stretches its body, slowly and gently. The moment the sun rises above the horizon in the morning, it greets the rising sun with the most beautiful posture and the brightest smile and releases the fragrance of the whole body, giving people a fresh morning, invigorating and refreshing.
From germination to withering, the life of a jasmine flower passes insipidly. Just like a cicada, in order to continue life, it must live well. When it unfolds its pure petals, it purifies the air for people. , when it withers, it uses its trunk to make the best enjoyment for people - tea. Soak the jasmine flower in the water. It slowly opens and bubbles keep popping out. Just now, the tea leaves were still bunched together. Gradually, a multicolored lotus-red fruit appears in the steaming boiled water. In the middle is the soul of tea - jasmine. It is stretched into two straight lines. Driven by the water, the 10,000 lotus red fruits and the tea leaves are completely brought together in one line, just like a butterfly dancing gracefully. .
Jasmine has been quietly dedicated to people throughout her life, which is cherished and admirable! In the changing weather, it did not fall down weakly. Instead, it regarded the changing weather as the nutrients given to it by God, so that it could bloom more flowers and beautify the world. Isn’t that what we humans should be like? Consider the setbacks at this time as God's test for you. Because flowers only have sunshine and no wind and rain, and they cannot bloom beautiful flowers!
This is really a unique floral fragrance. It is fresh and elegant, remote and quiet, not sweet at all, and it is not evasive or looming. There is a poem from the Song Dynasty that says: One flower can fill a room with fragrance and make your skin feel cold in the summer. The best thing about jasmine is that a sprig of jasmine can fill a room with fragrance. There are too many flowers in the world. Some are similar to each other, so they are unknown; some are hidden by the beauty of flowers and are often ignored. From this point of view, the fragrance of jasmine is outstanding, it is unconventional; the fragrance of jasmine is also lucky, it sets off and complements each other with flowers.
