The season has entered the summer, and more than ten moons located on the east side of the courtyard and on the left side of the hall house have bloomed amazing flowers. You see the lovely flowers that are red like fire, pink like xia, white like snow, flowers, bushes, and pieces of branches. Against the backdrop of delicate green leaves, it is more and more colorful, and the small courtyard is dotted with purple and red, which is beautiful.

These more than ten plants were bought from the market three years ago during the "May Day" holiday. When it was first planted, the little seedlings were listless, like children who left their mother's arms without smiling faces. I wasted no time in watering, fertilizing, and loosening the soil, and the seedlings soon recovered their growth, but I did not expect to bloom at the end of the month, and the colorful and colorful flowers were intermittent and entangled like autumn rains that accompanied me from early summer to the depths of winter. Fortunately, I planted two plants in the pot when the weather was warm, and the room was heated in the winter, so in the middle of winter when the snow was flying and the north wind was cold, I could still enjoy the fragrance of the moon flower, together with its fragrant fragrance, and suddenly I felt like I had walked into a warm and melting spring, and the happy and joyful mood was overflowing.

In the Hundred Gardens, the moon season may not be called an elegant and precious variety of flowers and trees, compared with the rich peony, the fragrant osmanthus flower, and the proud chrysanthemum, the thin moon season will be slightly inferior, so the media newspapers and periodicals sing the poetry and songs of the moon season are very few. But I want to praise the moon season aloud, for its flowers bloom for four seasons, cold and summer do not change. The moon flowers are like a couple who have gone from youth to old age, and they do not abandon each other and embrace each other warmly. It interprets the loyalty of love and the beauty of life.

This spring rainy, spring and early, just after the New Year father cut off the dead branches of the moon season, now these months have grown out of the ground a meter and a half high, the branches and leaves stretch out in all directions, wide and fat leaves thick green and shiny, like a girl who has just entered puberty. I love the moon season, and the reason for that, as its name suggests, is that the moon blooms. From spring to winter, beautiful four seasons, fragrant for a lifetime. The eternal and long-term flowering period makes our life warm and poetic, no wonder the great poet Su Shi of the Song Dynasty is so obsessed with the moon season, after comparing the temperament and quality of the hundred flowers, the poet praises the moon season: the flowers bloom and fall uninterruptedly, and the spring to spring is not related; although the peony is expensive, the spring is only the beginning of summer; only this flower blooms tirelessly, and the year is long for four o'clock in the spring. This is a high portrayal and summary of the lofty qualities of the month and season of diligently blossoming, not counting poverty, and not envying the rich and noble. It is precisely because of the spicy nature of the moon season that the urban countryside and the courtyard of Quemo can be seen everywhere. It is precisely because of its tenacity, luxuriantness, and elegant appreciation that it is widely cultivated and loved by people.

It is a blessing to think that life is accompanied by months and seasons. When I dragged my tired body into the house, the sympathetic moon flowers would nod their heads to greet me, and the flowing fragrance instantly dispelled my fatigue; when I was misunderstood and snubbed, the moon flowers would bloom like a lover with a feminine smile, soothing and healing me and dispelling depression, and my mood soon returned to the strong optimism of the past.

With the company of the moon and the season, my mood is as bright and brilliant as the sunshine; with the care of the moon and the season, my life becomes springy. It is "different months and seasons are different red, and one branch and one leaf are always concerned."
