Small hours of the day
Yesterday, I found that the diligent sanitation aunt cleaned up all kinds of weeds next to the steps that went up and down the community every day, and wiped out all the flowers and grasses.
Only the "clean" gray steps remain on this section of the steps, and there are no usual small flowers and grasses under the feet, no beating bugs, and no warblers flying swallow dances that come looking for flowers.
When we were on the steps, the crevices were full of flowers and plants, but unfortunately they were not photographed, and they would remain in our lives
This kind of "cleanliness" made me a little uncomfortable, and Dou Bao and I could not point to a Pu Gongying on the side of the steps as usual and say: This dandelion seed is really round and really beautiful, and I gently touched it with my hand to see the seeds scatter with the wind.
Nor can you point to the little bugs that stick to the inflorescence of a certain grass and smile: Look, they are enjoying a rich lunch of flowers.
Dandelions and yellow quails by the steps
On this road, there are many small flowers and grasses, which rise and fall, and become one of their own.
When spring comes, the purple ground is in full bloom, small, sticking out tongue-like petals, and we walk around it, afraid to step on these little cute ones.
In the summer, many small yellow flowers bloom, in addition to the delicate dandelion flowers, there are a variety of chrysanthemum plants, such as yellow quail, wild bitters, are barrel-shaped yellow flowers, they grow in the stone crevices, under the steps, when we go to school in the morning, their flowers are still holding their mouths and closing the flower tube, as if sleeping.
When I came back at noon, all of them were blooming yellow petals like small suns, and there were various insects jumping and flying on them, and when they returned in the afternoon, some of the flowers were closed again.
Ferns grow on the crevices of the rocks next to the steps, they are a scene of their own, I don't know what they reproduce by, they have no seeds, and the breeding robes come from and grow little by little in the crevices of the rock with only a little bit of mud, and I really see fern leaves that are only the size of fingernails growing in the crevices.
In summer, such a lush season, there are abundant plants growing on the rock walls on both sides of the steps, the most powerful of which are thornberries and honeysuckle.
A few weeks ago, just walking down the steps, I smelled a burst of fragrance floating in the air, with a trace of fragrance I searched all the way, and finally saw the honeysuckle string hanging down from the steps, I picked a branch and put it in the vase of the flower home, full of fragrance. Later, I saw someone picking their petals that were about to fall.
There are also long thorny wild berries, I don't know where the seeds fall in the crevices of the rocks, and then grow, a few years can grow into a puff, the vitality is very strong, and then the spring blooms white little flowers, the summer begins to bear fruit, more than two months, now it began to be red, today I saw a young mother picked down for the little girl to put in the mouth, I said not yet ripe, mature wildberries are black and dull, soft and sweet in the mouth.

In the past two days, I found a white flowered folded ear root in a pile of weeds, and I have never seen a flowering folded ear root since I was a child. In order to confirm, I also picked one and smelled the smell of the folded ear root, and the flowers with a special fragrance felt cool! That's right, how come I didn't find its flowers so cute before, and how did they reproduce, growing on rock crevices? Isn't the root propagated by the root?
There are also sorrel flowers, I think the sorrel flowers are propagated by seed balls, but they can be seen everywhere in the steps, since March, there has been a non-stop bloom of pink flowers, I am curious, how they reproduce, I carefully studied their seeds, found that in the flower tube, the naked eye can hardly see the seeds, but these plants that grow in the stone crevices, numerous, scattered, should be spread by seeds, it is impossible for their own seed balls to run.
Ear roots and sorrel grass
Recently, it has been raining for several weeks, and as a result, the moss on the ground has grown long, and a pattern has grown to connect into a bear paw print, and Dou Bao has to look at it every time he is out of school, sometimes he puts his own paws in the past, and compared to see, the bear paw print is much larger than her paw (sneaking laugh).
Fo jia grass also likes rain, there is a news is a domestic university planted a large number of fo ke herb on the roof to maintain indoor temperature. The Buddha's beetle grass I saw growing on the steps, a yellow patch, was very cute.
The picture above is the Buddha's beetle grass, and the various small flowers in the picture below are self-contained and beautiful to watch carefully
There are also many unknown flowers and grasses, even if no one pays attention, they grow freely in a corner, and life is vigorous.
I even brought home a number of flowers and herbs and successfully introduced them.
For example, the honeysuckle branches I folded were successfully inserted into the flower beds of my house. There are also sorrel grass (but even the germs have followed back, and the back of each leaf of the sorrel grass is infected with yellow mold), and even the seeds of wild celery (wild celery is also extremely fertile), winter cold vegetables, and ear roots (but my family's ear roots do not have white flowers),
After seeing these flowers and plants, I really understand the sentence in "The Garden West and the Carpenter": After the gardener sows the seeds, as long as the soil is rich and the space is safe, the rest will grow freely by them, and the flowers and plants can respond to changes in the environment in various ways that you cannot expect.
Parenthood is a gardener planting flowers, and the essence is love.
We have witnessed the gardener of nature in different seasons, witnessing these free-growing flowers and plants, flourishing, full of vitality, layers of blooming, beautiful and rich.
