In the country of the early years
Chicken crown flowers are also a very common flower。
It's like the phoenix
People are often planted in courtyards or in gutters under the roof。
This flower, which originated in africa, the americas and india, has a long history of cultivation in our country. It is documented in chongming-ben's earlier county log. Although a year-old herbal plant, chicken crown flowers are extremely viable and not demanding for cultivated soil, as long as they do not accumulate water. Seeds that fall from the first year of planting tend to grow in situ in the second year of maturity. The islanders often plant it with pixie flowers. The flowers bloom in the summer and the chicken crowns bloom at the beginning of the late summer and fall, and they continue, so that the people's courtyards may flourish. As its flowers are mostly red and have chicken crowns, they are called chicken crowns, and in the vernacular they are read as chickens。
And because the chicken crowns are blooming, and they are drugged, they are popular. A lot of poets from past generations wrote poetry for it。
Like dondéro's poetry cloud: "a thick one against the autumn light and a twirling wind. "what's this
Song dynasty zhao zong yi yun: "autumn lights and the eye are fascinating, and she's a pheasant. It's so exciting, and it's just a sound."
Yao wen zheng, yuan, “where is the white light? After the fall of the pyalayas, the blood of the independence kiosk remained dry.”
Ming dynasty: "how about today's light makeup? It's only for five, but it's still full of cream.”
Zhang zhang zhang zhang, "the wind of fighting is red twilight, the moon is silent" and so on。
Deep in memory, the great-grandmother of the family planted chicken crown flowers at the roots of the yard where she lived, and i often went there after school to watch. The leaves of the chicken crowns are narrow and long, and some are light and green, some are pink, lacquered, very rich, reflecting a running passion and a vibrant life. When chicken crowns bloom, they are mostly shaped like chicken crowns, or palms, or fanships. They come together to show their vitality up. Each flower has a small white wool, and it is a flower with red fire upon it, and it is full of joy. It's in the yard. It's full of energy。
The seeds of chicken crown blossoms will grow black and mature when the time comes. The matured fruit is smaller in seed than mustard seed, and the shell is dark red, smooth and bright. The great-grandmother will carefully harvest them, wrap them in cow paper, and keep them in the barbed wire. We were curious to ask her what it was for, and she always said vaguely, "the children's house, what they were asking for." and then the mother told us that her old man was often diarrhea, and somehow the secret formula could be cured with chicken crown petals or seed. It's good to try it, so it's only been a year since i planted the chicken crown. When neighbours know about it, they often seek seeds from their great-grandmothers for chicken crown flowers during diarrhoea. Ah, it's still good。
For some reason, the number of families growing chicken crowns in the countryside has become smaller. It's just one or two, and it's not very lively。
