In the green belt at the entrance of the building, I don't know when a few "pink bean blossoms" appeared. Sure it wasn't greening, because it grew recklessly and timidly. This spring, I saw a few plants that had just sprouted, which were uprooted and dried by the master who trimmed the green belt. But I didn't know that her vitality was so tenacious, and the one that grew later grew vigorously, drilled out of the hedge, and spread a large area, which made people can't help but look sideways.
Today, small flowers are fading away. Blooms in the afternoon and "closes" the next day before noon. I have never figured out whether the ones that bloom in the afternoon are the ones that "close the flowers" in the morning. Looking closely at it today, I suddenly found that the sepals where the flowers fell were covered with black seeds. She's starting to make beans!
Pink bean flowers for me, like the dahlias mentioned earlier, are also the flowers of my childhood memories.
When I was very young, I heard the old people say that powder beans can produce starch, which is also a medicine. I remembered that when I was about eight or nine years old, that is, when I was in the second and third grades, I began to be enthusiastic about growing this flower myself, as if I had heard that where to buy the black seeds, it was still very valuable, so many of our classmates planted them at home. Adults don't take it seriously at all, but among the children, there are stories about who makes a lot of money by growing flour beans, with names and surnames, noses and eyes. So who among the classmates at that time had a handful of black beans was a thing worth showing off. Many classmates will gather around to beg, and they only give themselves friends who look up to them or classmates who have benefits for themselves. Powder beans are not careful, they have achieved a lot of "small fans", hehe ~ everyone is often better than who plants, whose pink beans have more colors and flowers. In the summer and autumn, it is bigger than whose flour beans bear fruit earlier. This has been popular for a year or two.
Later, although everyone harvested some seeds, I remember that I harvested a "military pot" at that time. There is an old military pot that has been knocked off the paint at home, and a souvenir of Dad's demobilization as a soldier. When I first remembered it, it was quite new, and my grandmother used it at that time. There will always be a trick to pour out "fried beans" and "fried peanuts", which is the "treasure gourd" of my childhood. Later, when the family separated, my grandmother gave it to me, and I usually used it to hold my beloved gadgets. Before the powder beans were loaded, there were colorful glass balls, sugar paper, red-headed ropes and so on. By the way, there are a lot of steel crashes. But in the end, it is not careful, and it will often bump into it. However, it still loses its status as a "treasure gourd" in my mind. After harvesting the beans, it becomes a place where I treasure the beans. Until the military pots were filled with flour beans, no one came to collect them, and I didn't hear who really sold for money. The wind soon stopped. I don't remember where the beans I harvested ended up at that time. In memory, pink bean blossoms still bloom in front of and behind the houses of each family, and no one needs to deliberately plant them. Her roots, her seeds, seemed to follow the wind, and out of nowhere they would flourish into a bush. We also saw how strange it was, and turned a blind eye.
I picked two seeds and a leaf and walked toward the elevator, silently looking at it and reminiscing. Waiting for the elevator to be empty, I suddenly remembered to check what the scientific name of the pink bean flower was. Is this black pink bean really a legendary Chinese herbal medicine? The results looked up, and it turned out to be much more than that!

Pink bean flower, it turns out that there is also chastity, simplicity, exquisiteness, timidity, cowardice, mature beauty of the flower language!
Pink bean flower, childhood flower, I ignored you for decades, and now you have given me so many surprises!
So, I carefully collected the two seeds and tapped the keyboard to write down my feelings. In the spring of the next year, I must sow the black seeds with my own hands, so that the pink bean flower, the flower language and function of purple jasmine, will be praised in my Hongmeng world, singing under the blue sky and white clouds, and spreading to the hearts of more people.
