Asparagus does not have a pretty face or a strong body, but it has won people's love for its softness and elegance. It is not just any ordinary flower or plant to me, because I have a special emotional connection with it.
Actually, I got to know it because of my daughter. At that time, my daughter had just been born and I was troubled about what to name her. Since my daughter is born with the character "文" (文), I have always wanted to use this character in her name. Later, I heard someone say that there is a kind of flower called "asparagus". When I heard the name, I fell in love with it. So, I immediately went to the flower market and bought a pot. The moment I saw it, I was attracted by its fresh, elegant, quiet and graceful temperament, and I immediately decided to name my daughter this name.
After moving it home, I took good care of it more like taking care of my daughter. Slowly, the Asparagus bamboo sprouted new young strips from the original sparse branches, and dense layers of fine leaves grew on the young strips. Every time I look at it, it's like watching a daughter growing up, and the joy in my heart is beyond words.
One day, my mother came to my house as a guest. She heard that her daughter was named "Wenzhu" and she didn't agree with it very much. She said that if she pronounced it according to the local dialect, it would be easily misunderstood as "Wen Zhu" by others. What an unpleasant name for a girl! Listening to what she said, and reading it carefully, it is indeed the homophone. So, after much consideration, I decided to change my daughter’s name.
Although my daughter is no longer called "Asparagus", I still like her just as much and take care of her as before. How can it change all of a sudden when it has been filled with infinite emotions? But for some reason, it didn't take long for its leaves to slowly turn yellow, and eventually it would inevitably die.
Later, I moved to a new home. In order to purify the air, I went to the flower market and bought some green plants. When I saw asparagus again, I was attracted by its charm and bought a pot home without hesitation.
This time, I bought a flower stand and put it on the balcony. I put asparagus and flowers that like sunshine on it, and flowers that like shade in the house. When watering is needed, move them to the balcony and water them together. Then, according to weather changes, the positions are swapped in turn so that each potted flower can receive nourishment from the sun without being harmed by the scorching sun.
The pot of asparagus also began to grow new branches and buds. I happily carried it to the desk in the house, wanting to see more of it. Unexpectedly, within a week, the leaves of asparagus began to turn yellow, and they fell to the ground with a gentle touch. I'm a little flustered! Worried that it will leave me like last time.
I quickly "moved" it to the balcony and poured some rice water. A few days later, the branches that had lost their leaves turned into dead branches. However, I was surprised to find that a new branch grew from the bottom of it, which was straight and straight, with full stamina. It seems it has been given a new lease of life. I immediately found scissors and trimmed off the dead branches to leave more room for new branches to grow.
Sure enough, Asparagus did not disappoint me. Three or four new branches grew out one after another, and began to branch out and form leaves. The needle-like leaves were stacked on top of each other. , covering the entire flower pot. Looking closer, it is lush and green, like overlapping blue clouds. Viewed from a distance, it looks like the welcoming pine in Huangshan Mountain, with graceful posture, toughness and erectness. This kind of tenacious and unyielding vitality really shocked me.
Whenever I am in a bad mood, I will go and take a look at asparagus, and all my worries will disappear and I will suddenly feel enlightened. A few days ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find that many small white flowers bloomed on the Asparagus bamboo, ah! It turns out that asparagus also has a flowering period! This is the first time I've seen it. It has gone through the reincarnation of seasons in our house, and even "narrow escapes", and finally bloomed its most beautiful appearance, and it also allowed me to appreciate its most noble quality.
"Once upon a time, it was difficult for the sea to be water, but except for Wushan, it was not clouds." Asparagus is my favorite flower and plant in my heart, and my feelings for it will never change, and its Noble quality will also affect my life.
