Flowers bloom is the prose of that childhood.

These flowers and plants, which grow on the Yuan Ye, are all flowers of my childhood, although they bloom finely and lowly! When we meet 30 years later, they are still fragrant!

-inscription

That day, I read a diary with pictures in my friend's space-"Good Times in the Battlefield". Those familiar and warm flowers and plants, those strange and unique names caught my heart, and the feeling of surprise was beyond words. They are full of poetry in my heart ... these wild flowers and plants were used when life was a little bitter.

I still remember when I was a child, every time after school or on Sundays, I would meet my friends, carry baskets and shovels, and spend my childhood in my hometown of Yuan Ye, fields, Woods and rivers in the name of pulling rabbit grass and pig food. At that time, we had plenty of time and things to do, such as boys climbing trees, going down rivers, picking wild flowers, digging wild vegetables, looking for cicadas and monkeys, sticking cicadas, catching small fish, touching loaches and catching mussels ... At that time, we met Xanthium sibiricum, morning glory, plantain, kid fork, barnyard grass, green bristlegrass, noodles and mother-in-law.

Only today did I know that they all have their own unique and lovely names. Looking at the familiar faces, I suddenly remembered the class reunion a few years ago. At 15, there were many people except a few familiar faces, but I can't remember their names. When we sit together and chat slowly, a subtle feeling rises in my mind, just like developing photos, in developer, so slowly. That kind of surprise is beyond words; That kind of feeling, irreplaceable, is a memory, aftertaste, revisit and arouse after a long separation.

Haha, isn't this the "kid fork"? It has such a lovely name-Popo Needle. It's really "mysterious." No matter how careful you are, it can always hang your shoes, socks, trouser legs and sleeves with its tiny thorns without being noticed ... until it itches, you suddenly find that boy, full and dense, with "one milk" all over his body, so sit in the warm sunshine and take them off carefully with a smile. The most wonderful thing is that, unconsciously, you have done a beautiful thing for others: the place you lost is the new home prepared for it by its clever and careful mother.

Soft-weak-point-planting-grass, I read a strange name and looked at the picture with wide eyes. There seems to be a fine layer of fluff on the slightly weak leaves, and the top is a dreamy little flower looming in light blue. Yes, that's it, the toe cover. It has such a long and awkward name that a nursery rhyme quickly rings in my ear. When I was a child, as long as we saw it, we would pick a few leaves, crush them with our hands, pat them on our palms three times and put them on our noses to smell them. Suddenly, the fresh cucumber smells delicious, very attractive!

Loquat was called Lan Qi in ancient times. Such an elegant name, in the eyes of our rural children, is the "buffalo gourd ladle" that we can't put down. When we were young, we didn't care, as long as it was good for us, we all liked it. What we like best is its white silky seeds. Peel off the burnt gourd-shaped unsmooth seed coat, which is full of white soft velvet seeds. Hold your head high and blow gently with your mouth. White umbrella-shaped tidbits float, fall, fall, fall gently in front of your eyes ... several children blow together, and the beautiful fairyland-like scene fascinates us so much. But its floral fragrance is a bit strange, and we don't like it very much. In addition, the broken stems and leaves will emit sticky milky white juice, which is not easy to clean. Therefore, when the ladle is immature, we generally don't touch it easily.

"Sambucus", as soon as I saw its special appearance, it was like seeing an old friend, and I immediately called out its name. Its scientific name is Cao Jie, also known as Japanese Equisetum, which is similar to our name. This is the strangest thing. No matter its stem or leaf, it is a line with different lengths and thicknesses. What's even more amazing is that it is like a mosaic toy that children play with now. Each segment can be gently pulled out and then put together. That was our favorite game when we were young, and we always played tirelessly.

Haha, this kind of grass is too familiar, but its shape is not easy to distinguish from other grasses, and its name is not clear. It turns out that there is such a local name-Bermuda grass! Someone said, "When I was a child, I played with the seeds of this grass: I put one on the back of a corn leaf and made a' continuous' sound at it with my mouth. This grass seed will crawl like a bug, probably because its fine hair is similar to the fine hair on the back of corn leaves. " So we kids call it' conjoined lice'. "It's a pity that we didn't find this kind of play when we were young. See you later, I have to make up this lesson, but I don't know if I can see you again.

"Millet grass, leguminous millet grass, annual creeping herbs, also called choking. Three compound leaves with clear veins and parallel lateral veins. " I covered the photo with my hand to guess who it was. It must be it, but it didn't have a name at that time, and we were careless. We never thought of giving it a name. Sure enough, its small oval leaves, you don't say, are really like the bean-shaped eyes of a chicken. When we were young, we were most willing to tear its leaves to play. It always protrudes outward in a triangle, and the other half is concave. Such beautiful leaves are very attractive to us. If you don't observe carefully, you will confuse another kind of grass with it, that is Euphorbia humifusa (Euphorbia humifusa). We call it "Xia Nai Tree". Pull it gently with your hand, and milky juice will emerge from the fracture. Their leaves are almost the same in shape and size, except that cornflower feels like "air-dried" milkweed. Because milkweed is juicy, it is the favorite of rabbits.

Rabbits also like to eat beef tendon grass, also called cricket grass, which is called "small squat grass" by us. Its green and tender appearance is very popular. Its root system is very developed. When I was a child, I always wondered if it was named because it grew almost flat on the ground. Now that I think about it, it should be called "small shield grass", right? It is so strong that even if you break its leaves, it is difficult to pick it up. No wonder it also has a name like "Niujincao". Now I know that decocting all the grass with water can prevent Japanese encephalitis!

"Eragrostis", such a beautiful name, turned out to be our favorite "small vanilla", which grows in other weeds and would not be easily found if it were not for its wonderful faint scent of grass and flowers. Its small flowers give off a unique fragrance of grass, which we like to smell best and rabbits like to eat best.

When we were young, in the eyes of adults, our task was to pull up rabbit grass and pig food. Rabbits don't eat much, but pigs are different. A basket of weeds will soon be eliminated. Because of the gray vegetables and amaranth, even heavy tasks have become easier. Because they never grow alone or sparsely.

Gray vegetables always grow in fields, fields and ditches, which often makes us ecstatic. So, we put down the basket, one person and one territory, and we can finish the task just after sweating. We are sincerely happy to see piles of trophies neatly placed there. The most successful thing is to bring in bundles and put them neatly into baskets, and finally there are so many that we can't press them. Next, it is the happiest time for us. Find a flat clearing, put away the basket, take out the shuttlecock and skipping rope, or find a "grass-saving" tree to play with. In a word, there is a lot to play. It was not until the smoke rose in the village that we picked up our baskets, carried songs and laughter, and went home in the sunset glow. Seeing our red faces and red arms tied by baskets, my mother is always distressed, and we don't have to worry about quarrelling at all. Grey cabbage, a common wild vegetable, was called Chenopodium album in ancient times. Chenopodium album is a drought-tolerant and barren plant. Despite its low status and poor living environment, it can always survive tenaciously. Isn't Chenopodium a portrayal of the poor? The original word of Chenopodium album is "Li", and "there are many people who are Li." Benefiting the people means the people and the common people. Therefore, just like the people who benefit the people, gray vegetables are still emerging in an endless stream with their tenacious vitality today when various herbicides are widely used! !

Long time no see. As soon as I saw its photo, I called its name. We call it "shovel head". When I was a child, I never understood how her thin and delicate appearance could be associated with the broad and square shovel head. Now I think it should be called "Iron Amaranth Head". That's the favorite weed in the corn field, and it's always close. When I was a child, we searched everywhere with baskets on our shoulders, picked the fattest one, drilled into the corn field and smashed the ground in handfuls. Just like Chinese cabbage, its flowers are so humble that you can't feel its existence.

Strangely, the flowers and plants that impressed me the most were all related to eating. Now that I think about it, when I was a child, we were so fond of eating and bold. Is it because of lack of food or children's nature?

Seeing it, several trees nestled between mature wheat seedlings were "sour" and the joy was beyond words. It's usually not easy to find. As long as you find it, you will definitely pick some young leaves, rub them with your hands, and put them in your mouth when you blow them with your mouth. Even so, we should pout, squint and frown. Others call it "toothache", and you can know its temper by its name. I just know now that it used to have such an orthodox name-Mianmao Suan Mo Ye Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, also called Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. I haven't seen it for many years, and I miss its taste very much.

Delicious food, there are many more.

Are you familiar with it? It is not easy to say I love you. Its colored peas are our favorite. They are not only beautiful, but also edible. Although the edible part is only a thin layer of skin wrapped around the seed, its extremely beautiful color, handsome appearance and sour taste still attract us. However, it is difficult to prevent barbs from spreading all over, but it makes us dare not do it easily. It used to have such a special name-barbell return, also known as barbell return. I heard that there are allusions in it, so I have to check them when I have time.

I am very excited and excited to find it. We call it "Qing", but the pronunciation is the same. I don't know which word it is. Tall and big, I feel that this word is the most appropriate. In my memory, it is a kind of hemp. When it grows up, adults peel it off, twist it into thread and use it to collect the soles. But in the eyes of children, what we like best is its bulging buds and newly grown fruits. The taste and color were rare delicacies at that time. The buds are golden yellow, chewy, sticky and fragrant; The seeds in the fruit are white and tender, crunchy and sweet when chewed in the mouth. In the summer afternoon, a few of us got into the support much higher than our heads, picked a big leaf, rolled it into a cone along the petiole and began our delicious picking. That kind of happiness is beyond words. Now I know it's called "jump" and "vault".

When I was a child, purslane was called "grasshopper". At that time, it was really childish and cute. I often think, why is it called this name? Do grasshoppers like it? Sometimes when I see a grasshopper squatting on it, I am no longer confused. Now I know it should be called "horse-toothed horse". Look at its leaves. Isn't it like a horse? There is another reason to remember it. When I was in primary school, my teacher would use it to cook buckets of soup for us to drink. It's really delicious. Its vitality is extremely strong. If it is uprooted and exposed to the sun for a few days, it will still come back to life when it encounters water and soil. Today, when all kinds of herbicides are widely used, many grasses are extinct or rare, but it has great energy to maintain the momentum of that year. Using it to make soup has medicinal value and tastes bad. However, washing and ironing with hot water is liked by everyone.

Water chestnut, also known as water chestnut, water chestnut and black taro, was a rare delicacy when I was a child. Was it cooked in a pot or burned in a fire? Now that I think about it, I miss it very much.

There are also some flowers and plants that are inedible and not fun, but they are deeply imprinted in our hearts with their unique charm.

It, with its slim figure and flowery leaves, can be described as a beauty among weeds. Who would have thought that it has such a name-smelly grass, which is extremely disproportionate to it. What is even more incomprehensible is that it doesn't smell, and its name is smelly grass for no reason. Are you worried that you will be jealous if you have a nice name?

It's called Cao, what a vivid name. We only remember that it floats on the water, and its tender and slippery appearance is really beautiful. We don't know its name, but we have never explored it. I just think it should be duckweed. There are four leaves at the top of the stem, so it is also called four-leaf clover, and it was called apple in ancient times. "The Book of Songs Picking Apples": "What about picking apples? Nanjian coast; Where can I go to mine? In that line. " The apples in the Book of Songs are probably this kind of grass.

Stellaria, also known as Polygonum aviculare, is a very humble herb. Among many flowers and plants, it is so delicate and the stem is hollow; The leaves are so thin that they can't enter our eyes; This flower is so small that you have to open your eyes and count how many petals it has. Like Artemisia capillaris, the leaves are as thin as silk thread. When I was born, it was quite like salsola. It looks very special. We noticed it when we were young, but we just thought it was not fun if pigs didn't eat it and rabbits didn't smell it. So we don't have any special memories, and we don't pay much attention. But seeing him today, I still have the kindness of "meeting an old friend in another country". Like many people, no matter how ordinary he is and how much you don't care about him, he is always there. Similarly, it also has its own justified name-goose intestines.

God, it used to be called ox grass! Just like goose intestines, we children look down on it, but it turns out to be the famous Ranunculus! Psalm 5l, verse 7 records that King David found himself guilty and begged God, "Please clean me with hyssop, and I will be clean." . Could it be a kind of grass with decontamination function? It turns out that hyssop is a traditional sacred grass in Judaism, and it is a custom to eat it to purify the body. This should refer to the purification effect of this plant on plague, leprosy and chest pain. In fact, because of its deodorizing performance, people often use it to purify sacred altars and temples, so hyssop has always been regarded as a sacred plant. John 19 also records in section 30 that people tied a sponge soaked in vinegar to a bunch of hyssop and handed it to Jesus to drink. Arabs still call hyssop "sacred grass".

Are you familiar with it? As long as you are idle and wet, you will never be alone. There are many troops and dense layers, vast expanse. Because its plants are taller than ordinary grass, it is called "horseshoe" by us. Today, we know that it has such a nice name-Xiang Si grass, also known as Tang Ye Artemisia, which belongs to Chrysanthemum, which belongs to Compositae Liquor. At this time, I remembered that it has a forked top and will open many A Man Called Autumn Flower. Remember, every rainy season, thousands of frogs and toads will hide in the puddle between them and sing songs day and night!

When I was a child, I had casual eyes in the graben and ridge. When the stem or branch is broken, the white juice immediately gushes out. Maybe this juice is poisonous, so adults won't let children play with this plant, so they make up songs to stop picking or playing with it. The words "careless, careless, bumping into pots and bowls" seem to remain in my memory. My heart always bumps when I see them.

Look at Mai Niang, what a lovely local name! Ditches can be seen everywhere in summer. When I was a child, I was told that I didn't live enough in the countryside. When I was born in the wheat field, I couldn't get rid of it. Very sad. Listen, it's all bumpy, remember? We call it "toad", but it also has its own elegant and dignified name-litchi grass, also known as snow grass, frog grass, toad seed and toad grass.

Who can this handsome man be? What a pity! I don't remember what we called him when I was a child! However, her lovely and extremely handsome appearance makes it hard for me to forget. She was born in the wheat field in the flowering season. Beautiful, beautiful. We always take it home and put it in a bottle. If we have something to see, our hearts will be as bright as it is. It is called "Mai Cai Lan", also known as Vaccaria seed and Dianthus caryophyllus, and its seeds are used as medicine, which has the effects of promoting lactation, relieving stranguria and dredging menstruation. In recent ten years, with the extensive use of herbicides, many herbs have been extinct. Wheat bottle vegetables and wheat blue vegetables bear the brunt. Once a common weed in the wheat field, the wheat bottle vegetable has disappeared. Finally, we call it "foreign noodle dish". Sure enough, they used to be a family, but she is many times more handsome than noodles, and she is not sticky, clean and refreshing, and more lovable like noodles. )

The delicate and lovely appearance of this small jasper, this elegant and plain color, is too familiar. At that time it was so humble that it didn't even have its own name. Now we know that its name is dog doll flower, which is really "people as their names suggest". It's called Inula, a little more gorgeous and plump than a dog doll. It is familiar with its handsome appearance, as if it has never left my mind, but I can't remember its original name. Every time I see it, its original name has a feeling of being vividly portrayed. I firmly believe that I will remember! When I was a child, I was called "Mouse Flower". It even has such a local name-Mi Pocket, also called sweet Dictya. Iacomi Pocket is a perennial herb with iris in Leguminosae. The taproot is conical, the stem is short and clustered on the rhizome. The whole plant has white fluff. Polygonum hydropiper, also known as dogtail flower and pink flower, is called Aquarius flower in my hometown and Youlong in The Book of Songs. The so-called "there are dragons in the mountains" is also true. Often born at the water's edge, in midsummer, the spikes are swaying, like a dog wagging its tail, so people call it dog tail flower vividly. Dry land is also raw, not as tall and lush as that born by the water. "The leaves of Polygonum cuspidatum are full of sorrow, and the frost on the stem is heavy." Polygonum cuspidatum in the poem probably refers to Polygonum cuspidatum. Its spikes are extremely beautiful in color and should be beyond the reach of other wild flowers and weeds. So far, it is gorgeous in my memory. It is called Ophiopogon japonicus, also known as Ophiopogon japonicus, Ophiopogon japonicus, Liliaceae herbs. It was once kept in a flowerpot as the most common orchid. In the flowering season, it always grows long, faint purple spikes. Now we know its name is Ophiopogon japonicus, which is also called Ophiopogon japonicus, Ophiopogon japonicus and Ophiopogon japonicus. It is actually a kind of lily. According to legend, Zheng Xuan, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote a scripture in Xueshan Temple. There is grass in the temple, and Zheng Kangcheng uses its leaves to tie books or bamboo slips. Therefore, this plant is named Shucao. Is this book with grass winter wheat? We call it "mother-in-law Artemisia" Who knows it also has such a name-Descurainia sophia, commonly known as Artemisia scoparia, which is common in wheat fields. Is it named like this because of its growing team? Seeds are used as medicines instead of seeds. Humulus scandens, we call it "the seedling from the corner", and it is also called "the larval seedling". This guy is very annoying. When you pass by, even if you are careful, you will leave a red mark on your bare skin, which makes me retreat three feet.

The whole plant is covered with short glandular hairs. It touches my soul most. It is called "noodle dish" by us, and its seedlings are very fat, like delicious noodles rolled by mom. After growing into a plant, the familiar figure, beautiful and lovely, opened a small, pink-purple, single-layer five-petal flower at the top of the lantern, which felt sticky and dragged the time to 30 years ago. No wonder, when I told my son about my childhood, I wanted to talk about the hardships of life at that time and let my son know how grateful he was. Who knows, the son said enviously, "I want to go there when you were a child." My son's words made me deep in thought, yes! Although life was hard at that time, we didn't have high-end toys and snacks that children can easily have now ... However, for our relaxed, happy and carefree childhood, they can only dream. Unfortunately, I can't remember what we were called at that time, but her delicate appearance is deeply engraved in my heart. Compared with today's children, I am extremely lucky!

In the gap between doing farm work with my parents, I will quietly appreciate those wild flowers surrounded by clusters. At that time, I didn't know the taste of life, let alone the blood relationship between literature and life. Just remember to look closely, there is always a sweet taste flowing in my heart. Look at these wild flowers. They are more comfortable and moral than potted plants. Pure colors and delicate petals combine the most natural and beautiful pictures one by one. At that time, I often thought that these wild flowers were definitely angels left by God, and their beauty dimmed the light of all enchanting flowers! Now think about it, their mission is to give people who love nature some joy in life and a spiritual conversion. In fact, this is a luxury gift from the creator!

In addition to the flowers and plants in the countryside, there are two kinds of flowers that have been in full bloom in my childhood. Impatiens, which the villagers call nailing peaches, are impatient when taking medicine. Impatiens, it is the most common flower in ordinary people's homes. It is said that snakes are afraid of it, so almost every family will carry a few trees. It is named because its corolla can dye nails and its capsule looks like Momo. Seeing henna, I have an inexplicable intimacy. It is the most beautiful flower in my memory and the most common flower in the country yard. I remember when I was a child, it was just a time of food and clothing. When I came back from the movie at night, I picked a lot of henna of various colors. I was drunk when I watched it ... I was able to watch a movie and hold such a big bunch of beautiful flowers. I felt so rich and satisfied. Zinnia, also known as zinnia, is climbing step by step, and its status is comparable to henna in the farm yard. Its gorgeous colors and auspicious name make it win the honor of staying in every ordinary people's home.

Today, I realized that they filled the best time: Euphorbia fischeriana, Radix Astragali, Thrushcross, Caoshu, Mainiang, Popo Needle, Rice Pocket, Goose Intestine, Cornflower, Dog Baby Flower and Wheat Bottle Grass. ...

These flowers and plants scattered on the Yuan Ye are the biggest artistic catwalk in my childhood. Each lobule tells a gentle story; Every little petal sings a sweet song.
