Are there any legends or stories about cactus?

I suddenly remembered a story I heard when I was a child. On a quiet night. So I remember clearly. But I can't remember where I heard it.

Cactus used to be charming and magical. When Wu Zetian ordered flowers to bloom in winter, she refused not only peony but also cactus. But why not mention cactus? It is said that because the beauty of cactus was not inferior to peony at that time, everyone recognized her as peony.

But cactus seems to be out of place, and often makes sarcastic remarks, which makes the flower god very disgusted. But there's nothing I can do about her.

There is a Hua Xian (whose name I forget), who is clever and resourceful, is better at reading words and minds, and gives some reasonable suggestions to Flower God at the right time, which is very popular with Flower God. So the flower god asked her for advice on how to control cactus from falling into people's hands.

That year, it was fashionable for Hua Xian to support desert construction, and some Hua Xian went to harsh environment one after another. The flower god has the heart to let the cactus go to the hardest place, but the cactus is also a distant relative of the queen mother. In case ... so I hesitated.

Then Hua Xian smiled quietly: "Let her take the initiative to ask to leave." . Two people whisper coup.

It is said that the cactus later encountered all kinds of troubles. Suddenly, many despicable rumors came out. Honest and simple, she can endure harsh environment, but can't stand unprovoked slander and contempt. She finally asked to leave.

The flower god smiled happily in his dream.

Finally, the time has come.

Cactus migrated to the desert.

Day after day, sandstorms eroded her beautiful face, and the Millennium drought cracked her skin like jelly. Accompanied by her, except for the sandstorm, she lost her former beauty in the scorching sun every day.

Losing her beauty, she was reborn in a cruel environment. Thick palms are covered with fine thorns.

Those flowers returned to the fairy tale garden for some reason. Only the unrecognizable cactus is left quietly spying on the cruel world in the desert.

It is said that the thorn on her body is transformed from the injustice in her heart.

I said it was her silent cynical cry. Her flowers in brief and beautiful are her deep love and cherish for life.

Bad environment can change the appearance, but it can't change the honest and frank mind.

A temporary demotion may make you feel gloomy, but it can't kill your sincerity and pursuit of life!

Cactus was originally an ornamental plant. In Africa, it is the darling of nature. The vast desert, together with its camps and abandoned islands, is its paradise. In the dead zone of spring breeze, it stubbornly rooted its roots into the barren soil, grew a plump body, and reported the news of spring with a green smile. In the gray northern world in winter, if people can plant a cactus indoors, green creatures will bring happiness to people.

Australia introduced it as an ornamental plant. However, it later proliferated in Queensland and New South Wales and spread everywhere, occupying an average of 320,000 hectares of land every year, so that tens of millions of hectares of fertile land could not grow pasture and crops. All kinds of cacti can be seen almost everywhere. Some places have become cactus forests, and a cactus is as high as 10 meter and weighs tens of thousands of kilograms! Let the roaring wind break its arm and let the downpour and thunder cut its waist. They are still spreading, spreading and never stopping, which has angered Australian farmers. In Australia, cactus is called "devil". Therefore, although people in this country love flowers and plants, they have never seen Australians raising cacti at home. Every year, farmers and herdsmen spend a lot of effort to dig out the cactus that has spread to their farms and pastures, dry it, put it on the shelf, ignite a raging fire and send it back to the west.

This strange phenomenon tells people a simple truth: everything will go to the opposite side. Ecological balance is particularly noteworthy. Destroy at will, blindly "introduce", and ultimately lose yourself!
