Second, when I was meditating, suddenly a kapok fell in front of my eyes. It didn't scatter a petal and completely fell to the ground. Like a heavy sigh after painstaking efforts, it is also like a decisive farewell when I leave my mother when I grow up. It is such a beautiful farewell when I turn around. I stepped on the ground and let my thoughts flutter in the evening breeze. I bent down to pick up a kapok plant and put it in my hand. Its shape is a bit like pomegranate flower in the north, but it is much bigger than pomegranate flower. Kapok petals are thick, and huge flowers are full and juicy. When kapok fell on the ground one after another, the trees were full of fire and became colorful. At this time, I remembered Gong Zizhen's poem: "Falling red is not a heartless thing, but turning into spring mud protects flowers more." Isn't this a true portrayal of the kapok tree?
Third, in February and March, Jiang Lai was crossed, and thousands of trees blossomed. Kapok, a unique tree species in the south, is the city flower of Guangzhou and a kind of tree that strives for the upper reaches. It has five petals and a strong curve, surrounded by a cluster of dense yellow stamens, with distinct layers and thick texture. It is gathered in a compact receptacle, and the flowers are almost as big as rice bowls, spreading downward from the top of the tree against the sun. Kapok is a spring flower. It blooms in February and March every year. When kapok is in full bloom, it doesn't need any green leaves to set off. It is arrogant, exclusive, unabashed, grandstanding and affectation. With its unique personality, it opens its own unique style and blooms its most brilliant face.
Fourth, spring and March are another season for kapok. I know the kapok tree because I am in Yunnan. In the early 1980s, I went to Yunnan from the Great Central Plains, and there were several tall kapok trees next to the stadium in the camp. Although it belongs to the subtropical zone, I was deeply impressed by the rows of tall kapok trees. There is not a leaf on the whole branch, and it is as bare as a tree in winter in the north, which is really rare in the warm south.
Under the kapok tree, I saw an old man collecting fresh petals falling from the kapok tree. According to him, flowers can make porridge and soup, and pedicels can make tea to lower blood sugar. It is also said that kapok can be used as medicine from flower to skin to root, and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, dispelling cold and removing dampness, and relieving pain and healing. I see that every year when kapok blooms, some boys and girls who love beauty will string the picked kapok around their necks or tie it around their waists to continue the beauty of kapok.
6. After the leaves of kapok flourished, kapok disappeared. Because spring goes deep, just like the beauty's youth, it has passed, which makes people feel sad. Love is deep, can you still see it?
Seven, kapok tree is its scientific name, the local name is Panzhihua. It's early spring, and the kapok tree hasn't grown new leaves yet. The bare branches are swaying in the wind, and its branches are covered with spiral thorns. When I first saw the kapok tree, compared with other leafy trees around it, it looked a little depressed and a little old. Perhaps because it is different, but also because it is similar to the trees in my hometown, which ignited my beautiful homesickness.
In the years after I met Kapok, I enjoyed the happiness it gave me every year. Perhaps kapok trees are not as graceful as willows, but as rough and straightforward as men; Perhaps kapok is not as fragrant as osmanthus trees, but it is just as enthusiastic; Perhaps kapok is not as fragrant as plum blossom, but it is as persistent and firm; Perhaps the kapok tree is not as broad-minded as the banyan tree, but it is as broad-minded and affectionate.
I pushed the car and walked on. After turning a corner, I arrived at a quieter place. A small dirt road and a row of kapok trees stand upright in the wind. The tree is full of passionate flowers, all so red, I can't help but ask mischievously: Why are the flowers so red? When I lamented these fiery lives, I also saw flower of life lying on the ground, which had been warmed red. I pushed the car near the kapok umbrella. The afternoon sun shines softly under a series of oblique light and shadow, touching the sunny leaves at the top of the tree; And I'm still under kapok, enjoying the quiet moment she brought me.
In winter, the old man was angered by the kapok tree. It led "an army of thousands of horses", such as thunder rolling, such as the sound of drums, with thunderous force, rushed toward the kapok tree. The kapok tree stood proudly, just shaking its head and standing firmly. The old man had no choice but to lead the beaten army to retreat, and the kapok tree roared with victory.
Eleven, looking at the residual flowers on the ground, and then looking at those flowers that are still burning in the branches, there seems to be something swaying in my heart. I picked up a kapok, which should have just been adjusted, because she is still as fresh as the top, and there is pollen on the core. Slightly tilted, there was a bang behind me. I made a sharp turn and there was nothing. I think maybe the flowers are tired again.
I know that kapok trees have their own characteristics. The colder it experiences in winter, the more brilliant it blooms in spring. In the blooming season of kapok, although there are no green leaves, it makes kapok more desolate and Leng Yan. In fact, kapok is not as beautiful as green leaves at this time.
Thirteen, before long, I won't see so many kapok. Where she used to be, there may not even be any fragrance. Suddenly, my heart hurts. Thinking about the hope when the flowers are in bud, the enthusiasm when the flowers are in full bloom, the loss after the flowers are adjusted ... and thinking that I can pick up her enthusiasm if I want to pick her up, I completely stayed there, at a loss. Flowers fall, like a heart, and some enthusiasm melts into the soil. Can it still have the previous temperature?
14. Standing under the kapok tree, I looked up at the tall and straight figure of kapok. Against the background of a splendid tree in full bloom, I feel as if I were drunk. Red is drunk on my face, and I am drunk in the blue sky and white clouds. In that gorgeous sunset, I suddenly saw the perfect dance of Kapok and Xia Guang. They danced like two elves hugging each other. Slowly, my heart joined the dance of Kapok and Xia Guang. Suddenly, I found myself slowly turning into a kapok tree, emitting the energy I had accumulated for a winter, and quietly blooming in this unexpected spring and this colorful season. Open a crimson flower and show your beauty between heaven and earth. You see, the colorful figure swaying with the wind seems to tell people that spring is coming.
15. March is another kapok season. Walking by the river in the town, I feel happy and satisfied. Unlike busy cities, mornings in small towns are always so leisurely. The warm sunshine shines on the river, as if gold and platinum are floating, which makes people ecstatic just looking at it. On both sides of the road, those tall and straight kapok trees, the cold wind just blew away their dead leaves after flowering, and the trunk ushered in spring. In front of them, a piece of red glow reflected through the horizon. I saw the bare branches of the kapok tree, which were covered with a large dazzling and bright orange-red flower sea overnight. The branches were covered with dense orange-red and bright red flower bones, and some of them showed buds.
