Fairy flowers

2010.6.14 Monday Cloudy

Look forward to, waiting, finally flowering cactus on the balcony was.
Woke up at six o'clock this morning, I remembered the immortal flower, thought, and the second flower that opened it. Yesterday it started up a large bud, pale, and I fear it overnight then fade. Yesterday morning was a blooming, night shrunk.
I quickly went to the balcony, see tis immortal flower is half open, it is like a blush with anger the Americans, the tender lips and half-Kai, smile Ying Ying. It is a long piece of cactus in the highest top, gives a sense of stand out. That jiaohuang thin onion petals, flower petals from a flower tip of each department in the end, by the light yellow, dark yellow to orange, the color gradually deepened. That yellow is so pure, so dazzling, flashing my head. I was reluctant to touch it, just bend over and looked quietly, and would like it speech. I watched it, feel it is also looking at me, a silent communication between me and immortal flower delivery. Moved me.
I counted, the total of 12 petals, inner and outer layers. Wrapped with many slender petals in the flower, the top is a small flower pollen, the middle is the root rough style. I seriously looked at, and then ever more like it, actually pinned up, I do not know how to place it. So I took sheets of toilet paper, to grow on cactus bowl cleaning several times, too dirty, I brought scrub with a wet towel. After that, I brought a bowl, moved there from here, and from top to another pot on the floor, too low, and I took a high stool, the cactus on the position of being the living room, so I walking from the living room, one can see the rise of immortal flower.
Never felt, covered with cactus so cute! So the delicate! Because of that two flowers.
Cactus to my house for over three years. That the unit, a female colleague from their own windowsill, move the pieces of cactus, ready to throw away. I saw this, asked her: "You throw it?" "Too much longer." She said, "keep the cactus guys, just a plug to the basin can live." I believed her, and to the piece of cactus, take it home, found a crack of the bowl, put some dirt, casually inserted inside the cactus. It is actually lived, and in my home stay for years on end. It is up to both sides from a stretch, actually grew up more than 20 pieces.
Moved into a new home, I kept a lot of flowers, some on the room, some on the balcony, but most have died, except cactus, on the balcony outside the shelf survived miraculously. Throughout the year, it is undisputed spring, not afraid of hot, not afraid Qifenglengyu, not afraid of ice and snow. Thus in the open air, the silent growth, germination, flowering.
The first time I saw immortal flower in the year before last, that day at noon, I hold the quilt to the balcony to dry, accidentally discovered the immortal flower opening, I made a deep surprise. I really did not expect, covered with cactus able to make such a beautiful flower! Since then, I loved cactus. But the kind of unique beauty to bloom, it has to accumulate a month, or even the strength of the spring, but its flowering period is too short, newly sprung from the flower buds to wither and fall, just one day.
Each flower has a bloom of the reason, every flower to show their beauty. No applause, no wait, even if efforts to reach the broken, it should be hard to open. Therefore, every life is worthy of reverence; every one bloom, are worthy of pause. Like this little fairy flowers.
Life, some beautiful and fleeting, as long as we are to capture, then the U.S. will be grid into eternity. So, I took out my camera, aimed immortal flower, Kacha, Kacha, kept shooting up. I know that cactus will bloom next year, but then the flowers and this year has been different.
As long as I want, I can make every day are full of poetic, life can be every detail of the process, the design of some beautiful, pure number. Like this insipid summer morning, because nostalgia a fairy flower, this day have a special significance.
