light life 林清玄 331Words 2018-03-18
My nephew from the countryside came to Taipei for summer vacation. At that time, the jasmines I planted were in full bloom, purple and white. When I saw the jasmines in full bloom, I would feel their eloquence, thinking that they were arguing in the wind with bright colors—— ah!Not a debate, but a recitation of some kind of poetry. These jasmines are grown from the seeds that my nephew picked for me on the top of the ancient mountain in my hometown in the summer three years ago. Therefore, he was very happy to see it and kept saying to me: "Uncle, there are some jasmines on the top of the ancient mountain." It has already mutated, and some flowers can bloom in three colors. When you go back, I will take you to pick the seeds."

When I went back to my hometown, I went to the top of the ancient mountain with my nephew to look for the color-changing jasmine.Sure enough, some jasmines became two-colored, and some had three-colored ones.The seeds were planted in pots and they are now blooming, just like their parents, also changing color. Why does the color-changing jasmine change color?Why does it change color from generation to generation once it changes color?Why do plants even have habits?I can't find the answer, but I feel that these questions are not only for Jasmine, but also for people, and people will have the answers!
