From: "Xie Judge Planting Flowers in the Valley" Ouyang Xiu [Song Dynasty]
Light, deep, red and white should alternate, and must be planted repeatedly.
Bring wine at four o'clock, and don't want to spend a day without flowers.
The valley is full of flowers, and the flowers planted at intervals are charming and pleasant, regardless of spring and summer. I want to go there with wine to enjoy the flowers at any time, and don't let the flowers bloom for a day!
