Kit Kat, I love water lilies, completely because of the silly distinction between lotuses and water lilies, often corrected by friends, a saying "lotus is a lotus, water lilies or water lilies" also makes me dizzy. Therefore, I pay attention to the characteristics and growth of water lilies to avoid embarrassment again.
After searching on the Internet, I found that although water lilies and lotuses belong to the same water lily family, they are different genera, so water lilies are not lotuses.
Through the appearance, we can also find some differences between water lilies and lotus flowers. First of all, you can look at the position of the flowers. The flowers of the water lily are very close to the water surface, which can be said to grow close to the water surface. The flowers of the lotus flower are at a certain distance from the water surface, and the branches are slender and straight, as if to push the lotus flower as high as possible. Like a delicate maiden, her toes lightly stepping on the surface of the water, dancing in the breeze. Secondly, the shape of the flower can be observed. The flowers of the water lily are not very exaggerated when blooming, and the water lily blooms to a limited extent due to its close proximity to the water surface, and the petal compactness is relatively high, which is more subtle and gentle.
I gradually fell in love with water lilies, which are indispensable in summer. I woke up from a dream with water lilies. A leaf and a duckweed, a dream and a water lily. Water lilies, wake up from wonderful dreams every morning. Life is like a dream, the smoke and rain are misty, and when you wake up, the dream has become empty, and you have run to the west and the east. However, I have a "water lily dream", but I can't forget it outside the dream, just like an old friend who is silently accompanied, bathing in the sun with me, accompanying me to joy and sorrow.
Rose opened her smiling face, and Water Lily woke up from her dream. Water lilies in the water are the colors of nature. Critic Vadoi commented on Monet's later work" Water Lilies: they capture spring in the gallery, light blue and deep blue water, golden water, reflecting the sky and the unpredictable water on the shore of the pool, pale water lilies and rich water lilies blooming in the reflection ...
The Yuan Dynasty poet Zhang Yanghao wrote in "Sending Water Lilies": "Ben is a pink immortal in the heavenly garden, and he is in love with the dust. The proud bones sighed through the wind and rain, and they were willing to sleep in the human world. Zhen Qian wrote in his work "Wing Lian": "Yanran drifts in the water, and the greenery reflects the blue sky." It is not the lotus in the leaf that is unique, but because it is more delicate than the flower. ”
Therefore, I have to say that the aesthetic picture presented in the work "Water Lilies" and the philosophical words of critics and poets touched my heart and inspired my thinking. When admiring water lilies in the future, they will deliberately look for the elemental symbols of spring, or there is a kind of spring flavor that surrounds their hearts. When retaining water lily images, attention is paid to the same frame as "spring" and lingering with "spring".
Water lilies generally begin to bloom in the early morning, and then gradually close with the sunset, as if entering a dreamland, every day during flowering, just like our circadian rhythm - sunrise and sunset, hence the name "water lilies".
In the early morning of summer, the water lilies that wake up from their sleep bloom delicately in the morning fog, showing their posture. Scorching lotus fragrance, pavilion out of the water, a stem of green, two shadows together dividends. Thousands of delicate flowers, deducing the cool charm and ten thousand styles in the hot summer.
When people praise the purity and strength of the water lily, they can't help but admire its calmness and beauty, but its delicacy is not dressed up by clever hands, but the result of time precipitation and continuous internal cultivation. Because it knows how to retract freely in the night and the wind and rain, and to accumulate energy in loneliness.
"In this life, I would like to be a lotus, out of the mud and not stained, to smell the dew and wake up, to sleep by the green wind." On this warm summer day, the beautiful and elegant water lilies in the pond with its unique posture and brilliant colors stand in the lake, calmly blooming, and decorating the pond like a dream.
