Morning Shanghai Volunteers
In March, Shanghai is graceful, beautifying the streets, all thanks to hundreds of flowers. The impression of a modern city is not only skyscrapers and highways, environmental protection and green forests have also become standard features of a harmonious and livable city.
Spring is a day when flowers bloom. Shanghai has started blooming flowers since early spring. The representative flowers are jasmine, plum blossom, camellia, magnolia, cherry blossom, rapeseed, tulip, cherry blossom, peach blossom, pear blossom, apricot blossom, peony, peony, etc.
Which flower is in bloom now? That is azalea, also known as azalea. my country is the country with the largest distribution of azaleas, with more than 530 species. There are many types of azaleas, with gorgeous colors and beautiful flowers and leaves. They are suitable for both ground planting and potted plants. They are one of the top ten traditional famous flowers in China.
Unlike many flowers that are favored by ladies, azalea is a flower commonly cultivated by ordinary people. It is commonly found in streets and alleys, in front of and behind houses, along rivers and ditches, and in roadside fields. Some people say that azaleas are cheap, easy to grow and easy to grow, and they shine brightly when there is a little sunshine. The vitality of the azalea is indeed tenacious. Perhaps, somehow, its temperament is similar to the fate of the people at the bottom.
The author traveled in spring and saw azaleas in full bloom in many places. The flowers all over the mountains and plains are astonishing to imagine. A patch of purple-red turns into red clouds, and patches of falling red take away the greenery. The background of green leaves is a velvet carpet, like a naturally carved quilt, and the red flowers are swaying in the breeze, full of wildness.
The petals of azaleas are mainly purple-red, but also interpret different colors, such as pink, magenta, orange-red, lavender, yellow with red, red with white, white with green, ever-changing and full of surprises. The shapes of petals are oval and umbrella-shaped. Sniffing carefully, a light fragrance floats into the heart, making people intoxicated.
The branches of the Rhododendron are rough, the branches are light green, and the leaves are dark green. They feel very smooth, without a single hair, and are very comfortable and soft. The green leaves set off the red flowers, which are very beautiful and charming under the sunlight. From a distance, the azaleas look like a group of colorful butterflies flying in the air. The flowers looked like they were made of pieces of red paper, and they looked particularly bright. The red color as bright as clouds was particularly eye-catching.
In the flower season, the lush branches and leaves are covered with red flowers. From a distance, they appear in clusters of three or five, like clusters of burning and jumping flames; from a closer look, some flowers are in bud, some are half-open and half-closed, and some are buds. The blooming petals are as delicate and beautiful as silk satin, and the edges of the petals are curved like the hem of a fairy's skirt. Rhododendron looks like a graceful girl. No wonder people call her the "Beautiful Beauty among Flowers".
Wandering on the bluestone path, the breeze passed by, my heart beat with the fiery azaleas, and I felt particularly comfortable. At this time, I would think of the lyrics in the movie "Sparkling Red Star", "If you want to look forward to it, the Red Army will come, the mountains will bloom, and the mountains will be filled with red..." In a trance, I could vaguely see the mighty Red Army troops marching out. coming.
I was once an educated youth, and the nature of Azalea may be exactly the same as that of an educated youth. Therefore, azalea is my favorite flower, not only because it is warm and unrestrained, not competing for beauty, nor delicate, but what is even more amazing is that azalea does not have high requirements for the living environment. No matter whether the soil is fertile or poor, she can grow it. It grows vigorously, blooms in the cold weather, and the mountains are red, as bright as the clouds, gorgeous and moving.
