Mother Zhao's family has lived in the East Temple Street of old Kunming for generations, an authentic Kunming Guandu "cavity", now more than 80 years old, and has been the same mother for four generations. The old man's favorite thing is to slowly move to the guixiang bridge and persimmon bridge, bathe in warm sunshine, and walk under the plum blossoms, peach blossoms and osmanthus flowers.
For people who often come and go, the persimmon bridge in winter is a good place to rest, after nine o'clock in the morning, a few warm rays of sunlight through the branches and leaves of the persimmon tree, through the pink with purple woody orchids, fluttering to this somewhat "antique" brick bridge culvert, but also reflected the river water flooded with a little sparkle.
Flowing along the small bridge, there are a few blooming peach blossoms and a few green plums in the small forest next to the persimmon bridge.
Qin'er likes the flowers next to the Guixiang Bridge and the Persimmon Bridge, the Chicken Singing Bridge, and the river that flows quietly in the moonlight.
A few days ago, it happened to be the traditional Lantern Festival, the bright moon of Yihong Garden was reflected on the clear water, and even a few strands of dark green aquatic grass in the river loomed, which made Qin Er quite surprised and happy, and she was even more reluctant to leave such an unforgettable night beauty.
For some elderly people who like to bask in the sun on the Guixiang Bridge, the white plum flowers that have bloomed between the groves and the several distant egret birds under the bridge are also delighted, especially when they see the egret spreading its wings and flying over the river and picking up a small fish.
Generally speaking, plum blossoms are blooming after the first month, before the Lantern Festival, every day will come to Guixiang Bridge to bask in the sun, by the way to see the beautiful winter of the plum, peach blossoms, plum blossoms Uncle Zhou told Qin'er, this year's plum blossoms, plum blossoms bloom slightly earlier than in previous years, but also much more beautiful.
There are nearly a hundred plum trees blooming with small white flowers on the riverbank, I remember that about 15 years ago, the 85-year-old father "specially" came from the East Station to see the plum blossoms of the Persimmon Bridge, and accidentally saw a little girl picking plum blossoms, so he rushed forward to stop it.
According to the old father's saying to the little girl picking flowers at that time, how many plum fruits can be produced in each plum tree depends on how many flowers can bloom on the tree. And this year,these plum trees have particularly beautiful and special flowers, and perhaps in a few months you will see the large and round purple plum fruits of the tree.
In addition to the white plum blossoms, emerald green plum blossoms, and red dazzling peach blossoms, there are several new green locust trees on the riverside, which can't help but remind people of the verse "Suspected of dark incense".
