How time flies. Lesser Heat is approaching and summer is coming. All I can see is a stronger hue than the forgiveness color.

For more than half a month, the rain in Zhongshan almost never stopped, and it was quite heavy and rapid. As a result, in addition to their own rose did not have time to cover up and once again caused pests, the city is full of lush appearance.

The wind is occasionally a little cooler, and the clouds and air on the road are still carrying moisture that has not yet completely evaporated. In the sound of cicadas, the blue orchid blossoms fragrant and the petals fall more, while crape myrtle takes advantage of the interval of the shower to keep spitting stamens, and the lotus leaves in the tree garden are close together, in which the lotus blossoms proudly.

The mud under the pond is surging secretly, and the withered yellow lotus leaves begin to be stained with stains, only the new green and delicate red in the vitality, still with a fresh and unstained. Its leaves are so large that it stretches out a whole pond, and the water droplets in the leaves are like wine in a bowl, tilting and shaking in the wind.

When it comes to the crisscross of withered yellow and new green lotus leaves, everyone will call it a gentleman. Zhou Dunyi wrote in "Ailian Shuo": "the only lotus comes out of the mud but not dyed, Zhuo Qinglian but not demon, Zhongtong is straight, no vine is not branched, incense is far and clear, and the pavilion is pure planting, which can be viewed from a distance but not desecrated."

Whether from the plant morphological characteristics of the lotus, or its image characteristics in literature, these sentences do write the essence of the lotus.

However, the sentence "can be viewed from a distance but not to be played with" makes me feel a little less of fireworks, and seems to have the meaning of keeping people away.

The lotus leaves stand proudly in the lotus leaves, by contrast, I prefer the Han Yuefu "Jiangnan": "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaf he Tiantian. Fish play between lotus leaves." There is also the Xizhou Song of Yuefu in the Southern Dynasty: "picking lotus in Nantang autumn, the lotus flower is over the head. Bow your head and make the lotus seed as clear as water."

Because such a lotus, more fireworks smell, but also more amiable and lovely. Of course, people want to play with the lotus. Throughout the ages, where there is a lotus, there are more girls picking lotus, there are boating and carrying wine, there are gulls and herons, and there is the happiest moment in summer.

The lotus is the lotus, when people talk about the name of the lotus, people often don't know the meaning of the two names. In fact, the lotus is officially called lotus in Chinese Flora. So the lotus is actually equal to the lotus. It was once classified under the Nymphaeaceae. Later, with the development of plant taxonomy, it became the lotus family independently.

Lotus is a perennial herb of the genus Nelumbo nucifera. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors had records of its cultivation and consumption. Erya, China's first dictionary, also gave names to various parts of the lotus, such as "lotus root", "lotus whip", "petiole", "leaf", "bud", "lotus seed", "lotus seed", and so on.

In addition, the lotus has two famous ancient names, "Furong" and "hibiscus". "Fu" is the same as "Fu", that is, standing upright, to describe its posture. "Fu" is the same as "canal", that is, broad, refers to the lotus leaf; "Rong" with "capacity", that is, container, refers to its flower shape like a bowl-shaped container.

Whenever a crooked lotus flower blossoms in spring, the dormant lotus root buried in the underwater mud feels the arrival of the growing season and begins to develop continuously. The sharp small lotus gradually came out of the water for photosynthesis. Usually the first 3-4 leaves are floating on the water.

With the continuous improvement of water and thermal conditions, lotus leaves began to be unwilling to float on the surface, but straightened their petioles, one higher and the other bigger, slowly covering the pond.

A petal falling on a lotus leaf every leaf above the surface of the water has a flower bud at the base of the petiole, which is likely to grow into a bud. That is, every leaf that stands up will produce a lotus. Every summer, the bud will drill out from under the lotus leaf, slowly dye the red from the green, and then bloom quietly in the early morning.

One after another bowl-shaped flowers, with beauty and fragrance, many pollinators will scramble to come to the flowers to suck nectar. In the afternoon, the flowers gradually close, trapping the insects in the flowers and pollinating themselves. The next day, the flowers will open again and let the insects leave with pollination, which in turn enables cross-pollination.

A closed lotus is so reciprocating that the flowering period of a single lotus is about three or four days, and then it can no longer be closed. After all, it is very tired. Because the pistil of the lotus is free, it is buried in the inverted conical spongy receptacle, and the receptacle has many scattered honeycomb holes on the surface. Once pollinated, it will expand into a lotus pod, and each hole produces a nutlet, that is, the lotus seed.

At first, the lotus canopy, which had just fallen off its petals, was still yellow and slowly turned green. After that, he hung his head like dead wood. This is also a very interesting place, either the lotus canopy droops and then falls off, taking the lotus seed farther away with the current, or the lotus seed falls directly into the water because of its own gravity and the opening of the lotus hole. As long as a suitable time, it can grow new plants.

The two successfully pollinated lotus pods are right, by the way, water lilies that are often confused with lotus flowers.

From a cultural point of view, the lotus is a very oriental flower, from south to north, whether it is a famous scenic spot or an unknown country pond, it can become a good place to appreciate lotus, but this is very rare in the west. On the contrary, most of the pictures of western celebrities are water lilies.

The lotus carries too much oriental emotion, too much ancient city charm, lively, noisy, lonely, literati, market …... So when we see the lotus, we feel naturally kind.

Two lotus flowers are bathed in the sun, but in terms of plants, the difference between the two is still obvious.

The leaves of the lotus are completely round and shield-shaped, the leaves usually protrude high above the water, and there are many small thorns scattered on the pedicels and petioles. After years of cultivation, there are more than 2000 varieties.

According to the different uses, it can be divided into Hualien, lotus root and Zi lotus, which, as the name implies, does not explain. According to the different flower patterns, it can be divided into single, semi-double, double and so on, mainly the difference between simple beauty and complicated beauty. According to the posture of flowering, it can be divided into dish-shaped, cup-shaped, bowl-shaped, flying-shaped, stacked ball-shaped.

The flower leaves of the lotus usually protrude high from the water surface as for water lilies, their leaves are dimorphic, floating leaves float on the water surface, the base is deeply divided into horseshoe-shaped or heart-shaped, and the leaf margin is undulate or dentate. On the other hand, the submerged leaves are thin and weak.

To put it simply, the leaves are not above the water, and the leaves you can see usually have a V-shaped gap, and there are no small thorns on the pedicels and petioles.

The flower of the lotus and the lotus canopy, of course, the most important part of the distinction is the center of the flower, the water lily does not have a raised structure like the lotus canopy. Because lotus is superior to ovary and water lily is inferior to ovary.

Finally, while summer is still summer, if there are no chores, you might as well hold an umbrella and go out with the village flowers to see the lotus flowers. After all, the avatar still has to be changed.
