Last autumn, my mother bought me a pot of chrysanthemums. After my careful care, they bloomed this autumn.
This pot of chrysanthemums is very beautiful. The flowers are golden yellow and very bright, with petals overlapping in layers, like fluffy shuttlecocks.
Its leaves are dark green with serrated edges, looking like a small slap. Its flowers originally bloomed towards the sun, that is, out of the window. I felt that it was uncomfortable to look at the flowers, so I turned the flowerpot so that the flowers bloomed towards the house. But within a week, its stem turned a corner on its own, and the flowers faced the sun again. Later, I experimented several times, and the results were the same as the first time. I thought: People long for light, and chrysanthemums may be the same as people, always pursuing light.
Chrysanthemums are particularly lively. Once, I accidentally knocked off one of its flower branches. I was very sad. My mother said to me: "It doesn't matter. You put this flower branch in the pot. After a few weeks, it will become a chrysanthemum." "I followed my mothers instructions, inserted the flower branch into the pot, and poured water on it. After half a month, the flower branch was really alive." Others say that roses have strong vitality, but I think chrysanthemums have the strongest vitality. From then on, I consciously arranged flower branches like this. In less than half a year, one chrysanthemum became five or six. When my friends want chrysanthemums, I give them to them so that they can share my happiness.
I like chrysanthemums because they are not afraid of wind and frost and can still bloom proudly in late autumn when almost all the flowers have faded. Although peonies are called the "king of flowers" because of their beauty, and jasmines are famous for their fragrance, they can only bloom in the warm season and wither in autumn before they are fragrant. Although chrysanthemum is not as beautiful as peony and not as fragrant as jasmine, it can withstand the test of severe frost, which is far inferior to other flowers. Therefore, since ancient times, I don’t know how many poets have written poems to praise its character!
I love the bright colors of chrysanthemums, and I love even more its spirit of always pursuing light, its character that is not afraid of wind and frost, and its tenacity. vitality.
