Chapter 44 moon flower

Xianggu is indeed planting flowers. She was secretly trying to grow a flower, which was a very strange flower, and she had been growing it for four years.In the past four years, she has tried countless times... She feels that she is close to success, and the flower is about to be cultivated. Before planting flowers, she looked through a lot of books and historical classics, and suddenly found that this is a very suitable land for planting flowers.The soil here is moderately acidic and alkaline, and the climate is moderate. As early as the Ming Dynasty, this place used to be a distribution center for flowers from the south to the north.At that time, all the flowers and trees growing in the southern country could only move north after they had grown here for a period of time... During the most prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty, this place was once known as the "Flower Station", the station of flowers!This discovery surprised her, and she was extremely excited.Especially, when she discovered the "Crown of Flower Station" in the classics, she was even more delighted.The so-called "Crown of Flower Station" is actually just a term for flowers.In the county chronicles, there are only a few short lines of introduction.It was a kind of flower that was bred by a flower official in the local area by grafting during the process of the flowers moving from south to north.According to history books, this flower is grafted from Artemisia annua, and it looks like a wisp of green smoke in the daytime. Fades, the purple is silvery, and the silver is white, until midnight, the purple and blue fade away, crystal clear as snow, as bright as a fairy undressing... This flower is extremely rare and famous in the Nanyang flower market for a time!

Yes, back in the day, the floats were coming with fragrance all the way... Then, when and what month did this flower station disappear on the thousand-year-old road?It disappeared so completely that there was not even a trace left in time.Is it war?Is it the plague?Is it a flood?or something else?Nobody knows. However, it was the few words on the old paper that attracted Xianggu's eyes.So, for several years, she successively used the single female parent of Artemisia annua to carry out grafting experiments... She knew that she was planting her dream.She thought, people have to have dreams, if people don't have dreams, how can they live?

Artemisia annua is wild and can be said to be everywhere.Artemisia annua is also a plant she likes. She likes its lightness and peace, its flexibility and uprightness.Besides, it is also a plant with the lowest cost per plant.She selected the best Artemisia annua in the field as the female parent of a single plant, and grafted 24 kinds of flowers by grafting: magnolia, iris, rose, freesia, and tricolor There are bellflowers, crape myrtle, hibiscus, banzhilian, and mirabilis... During the days when she was in contact with flowers, her heart suddenly calmed down, and flowers made her peaceful.At night, she would often get up from the bed to see the growing buds. She would lie down on the ground for a long time to see the dreamlike growth, the incomparably miraculous growth.It's amazing that a bud, a little bud, can grow beauty and a wonderful world of flowers!Sometimes, she was drunk, intoxicated by the miraculous conception.During the day-to-day observation, she even felt the pain of the flower in her heart. She knew that the flower would hurt. When she cut off a small bud, she felt the pain of the flower. She could really feel it. .Flowers also shed tears, and plants are also life, and they also shed tears, and the pain was continuous, and she felt it.She said, "Don't cry. I'm making you beautiful."

Grafting is a new birth, which means the birth of another life form.In her observation diary, there are often some unexpected discoveries: March 16 A knife can't hurt a flower. When grafting, the knife must be cleaned, the knife must be cleaned, and there is no hesitation. If you hesitate for a moment, the flower will cry.At this time, it was not the knife that hurt the flower, but the hand, or the clumsy hand that hurt the flower.The knife is too hard, and things that are too hard can't hurt the flower.On the contrary, water can hurt flowers.The water is too soft, the water is softer than the flower, the heart of the flower is hard, and the flower also has bones, the bones of the flower are stored in its genetic signal, only a knife can wake it up.In a sense, flowers love knives.

Flowers are also the most bony. March 27 Soil has a heart. Soil is the softest thing.The soil is soft in "pick up".Earth knows hot and cold best.Soil needs to be kissed, and if you kiss it, it will become hot.If you warm it, it will be hot.You protect it, and it protects you.The soil is loving, the soil wants to protect the flowers, and the soil nourishes the flowers.But soil is vulgar, but flowers are elegant.The soil must be vulgar, and the soil produces five grains, how can it be not vulgar?There is also cold air in the soil. When it is too dry or too wet, the soil will hurt the flowers.According to the book, as flowers move from south to north, ferrous sulfate must keep up.Although the acidity and alkalinity of the soil here are moderate, the alkalinity is still slightly higher, which must be neutralized by ferrous sulfate.Otherwise, the soil will hurt the flowers.The soil hurts the flowers slowly, it makes the flowers wither slowly, but it is fatal.The strange thing is that the soil can also sweat?Really, when the soil is sweating, it is when the weather changes, and this is a signal.It is a miracle that you hold the earth in your hand and you know the things of heaven!

April 8 Flowers grow in dreams. Really, flowers recharge their batteries at night and grow in dreams.During the day it sucks the radiance of heaven and earth, but breathes it out at night.Its deformation is mainly done at night.During the day you can't see anything, during the day it is silent.At night, if you stare at it, you will find that the flowers are harvesting little by little, very slowly; then, when it is close to dawn, it will be released again, and it will quietly complete the mutation in the process of retracting and releasing.The body of the flower never sleeps, the flower does not sleep, it lives for the splendor.

April 17 Flowers scream too. One morning, I literally heard the flowers screaming. Flowers also have emotions, and flowers have a "magnetic field".Emotionally, you can't tie it down.When grafting, you have to let them try each other to see if they can "kiss".If they are repelled, they cannot be grafted together, otherwise, it will die immediately.One morning, as soon as I walked into the flower shed, I heard the screams of flowers.This flower was grafted the night before, and I only let them stay for one night, but when I walked in, at that moment, there was a "hiss", all its leaves fell off, and it was dead The dryness of the heart!

May 2 When flowers are thirsty, they will sweat instead. The aroma of flowers is volatilized from "sweat", and flowers use blood as sweat.The scent of flowers is strongest during dry seasons.Flowers also have personalities. Generally, flowers with strong fragrance are strong flowers, just like women. When watering, you will hear the flowers sucking, the sound is very subtle, one "squeak" and one "squeak", and when it stops "squeaking", it is enough.Flowers are fattened by water, but flowers are afraid of water.The water can neither be too big nor too small. What it wants is moistening, not flooding.Flowers are most afraid of flooding the roots, and the flower roots will rot after being soaked in water.It is said in the book that wet should be soaked and dry should be dry, which is what it means.

South flowers marry north, it has an improvement period and an adaptation period, in a specific area, there are also water quality problems.The well water here is hard and cold, so the water in the deep well has to be basked in the pool to get rid of the cold, and then watered... May 14 For flowers, bowing their heads is death. ...the flowers are too delicate.Perhaps, flowers are delicate, and its character determines its delicateness.Beauty comes from nourishment, you have to nurture it with your heart.In the flower shed, what I am most afraid of is that the flowers bow their heads, and flowers never bow their heads.As soon as the flower bows its head, its death is approaching.

Strelitzia, produced in South Africa thousands of miles away, is also a herbaceous plant.It should be said that it is a migratory flower and a flying flower, a flower suitable for transformation.I really like the way it's about to fly, it's so nice.I did a maternal experiment with it, a dozen times in total, and finally I had to give up... because, every time after grafting, its head drooped within an hour.Once the raised head is hooked down, it can no longer be straightened up. So, I understand that flowers cannot bow their heads.Hua Ning would not bow her head. June 21 Leaves are always the foil of flowers.

The leaves are flower-supporting.But if the leaves are thin, the flowers will be thin, and if the leaves are fat, the flowers will be fat.What is the relationship between leaves and flowers? The base color of plants is green, but green can turn into red, into blue, into yellow, into purple...how amazing!A small plant is a world.Probably, flowers also have their internal signals, and internal ways of "telling"?Who gave this mutation?Ye'er is a kind of preparation for life, it prepares for flowers, gathers for flowers, and waits for the day...the flowers will bloom.Is the leaf the mother of the flower?The leaves are proud of the flowers, and they are withered for the flowers. In the days when the flowers are in bloom, the leaves are also working hard to stand tall, and it is very hard to line them up. "One prospers all, one loses all." Such a sentence probably came from Huamu (?).They must have spoken.What was said between them? June 25 During the flowering period, you want it to eat better. Do flowers have stomachs?How delicate is the stomach of a flower.Flowers also need food. It needs to eat different things in different periods.Bean cakes and sesame cakes are Hua's "fine food".Both bean cakes and sesame cakes have to be soaked in water in advance, and can only be applied after fermentation... The fermentation time is preferably seven days, and it will be fine when the fermentation bubbles.Plant ash is the stomach medicine of flowers, and it can play a role in disinfection.These "foods" must be formulated in advance, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are indispensable.These should be made into "nutrition bowls" for the flowers to absorb slowly. ... February 8 Flowers are also contradictory. When grafting, some must be grafted on the "skin", while others must be grafted on the "flesh".Sometimes, the "skin" repels each other, sometimes it's the "meat"... If something is wrong, it won't connect.According to the book, "door joint", "cross joint", "splitting joint", "lean joint"...all have been used.But flowers have their own language codes, you have to act according to the language codes of flowers, you have to understand the temperament of flowers, and find the best grafting method through exploration.This is just like people, temper and personality must be congenial.Flowers are more picky than people, so it's really difficult to match their temperaments without the slightest mistake! The tears of flowers are heavy.When the knife is cut, the pain makes you tremble. March 17 Should we give up Artemisia annua? There are things in the classics and written records, so should we believe it? You have experimented with grafting many times... Sometimes, as long as it grows, the flower wilts and dies, dead for no reason.You look at the dead flower for a long time, and your heart hurts.Grafting again and again, failing again and again... Whenever the grafting fails, you feel distressed.You looked at the flower distressedly, not knowing what was wrong.You really want to ask it: why haven't you appeared yet?How long do you want me to wait? But you don't want to just admit it.You say, start over. Change to a male parent, change to a female parent, and start all over again... May 8 Flowers are spiritual. Flowers and nature are so closely integrated, the moment when flowers are gorgeous in time, just like the code docking in life, suddenly they are brilliant and brilliant.The stretching seems to be calm, but at the moment of opening, it seems that there are thousands of years of signal reserves! You are getting closer and closer to the flower, you are with the flower day by day, and you feel that you are inseparable from the flower.At night, holding a lantern, squatting in the flower shed and watching the flowers grow, it feels so good! …Flowers, like people, need to adapt to the environment, and the birth of life also needs a process, which cannot be surpassed. You can't rush, you have to take it step by step. May 21 Another failure... Flowers are about quality.The character of flowers should be selected first and cultivated secondly. In the evening, Jiahe came to the flower shed.It was the first time for Jiahe to come to the flower shed. Jiahe said that once I entered, I couldn't breathe because I was too turbid.He also said, I really want to touch it with my hand, but I dare not. If I touch it, the flower will be dirty.Jiahe just looked at the pots one by one, and after looking at the grafted varieties, he suddenly asked: "Does flowers have a father? Who is Hua's father?" He was very stunned.After a while, he said again: "Flower must have a good father." I said, you go out.He said, good.Then, he tiptoed out. But for Jiahe, if you taste it slowly, it will be interesting.Think about it, maybe there is something wrong with the father? March 5 It's spring again. I decided to update the parent.Graft the hybrid male parent of iris, crape myrtle, bellflower, and wood hibiscus with the female parent of Artemisia annua, which is a hybrid of three generations of quality... I hope it will be successful. Jiahe came again, and he brought a pot of hot tofu.He said softly that the tofu was hot. I know that at night, he is guarding outside the flower shed... May 7 They combine! Truly, I see them combined. Jiahe said outside the flower shed, I heard you laugh.Really, laugh at your footsteps.So, is there hope? Home and this sentence is really touching.I said to myself, look.In the experiment, you have failed so many times, you no longer dare to have any illusions... How quiet the night is! I said, Jiahe, come in.Jiahe came in and sat at the door of the flower shed.We are waiting, we just waited all night! June 8 Flowering. The No. 2 pot bloomed first, but it hasn't changed; the No. 3 pot hasn't changed either; tonight, I'll just look at the No. 1, No. 4, and No. 5 pots... Pot No. 1 bloomed at ten o'clock in the morning, and pot No. 4 bloomed in the afternoon. It bloomed really well, blue with purple, like a wisp of green smoke, ethereal, which is a good sign. Jiahe said, eat the tofu.I said, don't eat.He said that after eating the flowers, they bloomed.I still haven't eaten.I think, wait until you succeed before eating. However, at midnight, the color of the flowers has only faded to gray and white... Pot after pot is like this, and they never fade.What is this?Failed again. At dawn, the rooster crowed, and I felt hopeless.When I was determined to give up, looking at the flowers that had failed grafting, I couldn't help but picked up a pot, dipped some water in a handkerchief, and wiped every petal of the flower bit by bit... However, Unexpectedly, a miracle appeared at an unexpected time.The next night, at midnight, when I walked into the flower shed again, it was unbelievable that the pot of flowers that had been wiped with water was in full bloom. It had completely faded from the purple-gray, white and tender, like an ancient book Exactly the same!I rushed forward at once, lay down on the ground, and looked at the flower for a long time. I saw the flower smiled, and Jiahe also smiled, a tearful smile.I said, "I finally got you here." Jiahe said, "Are you talking about me?" June 17 Yesterday morning, I did the same thing, quickly ran to get a bucket of clean water, and carefully wiped all the flowers one by one... But, one night passed, and the miracle did not appear; another night passed, The miracle still hasn't happened.In this way, for three nights in a row, the miracle never happened again, not even once.No matter how many times I wiped it with water, the flowers of this variety never bloomed as I expected... For a while, I was really helpless, there was nothing I could do.What's going on here?Where is the problem?Could it be that the God of Flowers did it specially to take pity on me?Otherwise, why only that one "undressed"? June 24 A miracle happened, it was the family and the flower that saved me. One day, when Master Jiahe was walking through the village, he heard Mrs. Tofu shout from afar, and Mrs. Tofu said, "Where's the basin? My basin." Jiahe said, "Basin? What? Basin?” Standing in front of the door, Mrs. Tofu shouted loudly with her hands on her hips: “Basin! The pot that holds the tofu.” This sentence was like a spark of calcium carbide, which woke Jiahe up, and Jiahe murmured: “ The basin? Oh, the basin—that’s the basin!” So, without saying a word, Jiahe turned his head and ran away, running away!Mrs. Tofu looked at him in surprise, not knowing what happened, so she said "basin", and just asked casually, why did this crazy guy run away? !Mrs. Tofu chased after her and shouted: "Where is the dog chasing the rabbit? What are you running for? ——That's a broken pot." Jiahe ran over quickly, panting and told me: "Basin!" I looked at him and said, "Basin? What basin? What's wrong with the basin?" Jiahe gasped and said, "That basin, that's the one. The basin, the water in the basin is the water for holding tofu!" Hearing what he said, I sat down on the ground!Got it, I finally figured it out, oh my god!That night, the water I wiped the flowers was not clear water, but the water from which tofu was boiled.That's a small pot of hot tofu brought to me by Jiahe... That flower is made of the water used to cook tofu!At this time, I saw the pot, which was still on the flower trellis. It was an empty pot-it was also a broken pot. Therefore, "Lanyan'er" - "immortal undressing" - Moon Flower, from the day it was reborn, has a secret that outsiders will never know... This is really shocking!
