Love a flower

Is there any flower color more brilliant than bougainvillea? I think not. Because bougainvillea is brilliant and blooms a lot, competing with each other to show off its beauty. When one flower withers and falls, another one replaces it, thus maintaining that color for a long time.

Under the scorching March sun, the bougainvillea sways and smiles in the wind, revealing its fresh beauty against the backdrop of young green leaves full of life. While everything seems to be gradually withering under the sun, the flowers are still so full of life, truly admirable.

I have loved the color of bougainvillea since I was a little girl. My father planted a bougainvillea trellis in front of the porch. In the dry season, the plant blooms beautifully, the porch is bright red. The flowers make my house glow, from afar you can see the bright red color. The flowers silently witnessed my sisters and I grow up, then silently said goodbye to us when my parents decided to renovate the house. I could not say goodbye to my childhood friend because I was studying far away from home. When I returned, I saw the porch had been renovated, the dead plants were piled up in the garden waiting to dry and burn. I silently said goodbye to my friend, a sadness crept into my heart.

Since then, I dreamed of building a small house, planting a bougainvillea trellis in front of the yard. Every sunny season, the brilliant flowers made the house stand out under the blue sky. Every morning, the flower corpses fell all over the yard. Looking at the yard filled with red flowers, the sunlight dancing with the flowers, it was so pleasing to the eye. Oh, what kind of flower is so brilliant from the moment it blooms until it fades and is still brilliant. I regret that beautiful picture but can’t bear to sweep it away, and then someone will definitely feel uncomfortable looking at it, judging the owner of the messy, lazy house. Never mind. They don’t love flowers like me, so they don’t know how to regret it.

Until now, I have not been able to realize that small dream. The small house has been built but the bougainvillea trellis will forever remain a dream because he does not like bougainvillea. He said that some flowers are thorny, not good to grow, not suitable for feng shui. I can only sigh. The distance between a dreamer and a realist is very far. Well, I have to admire other people's flowers, love other people's flowers.

Also because I love the flower of the sun, I always pay attention to find and admire houses with bougainvillea on the gate. Nowadays, bougainvillea has more colors than before. People plant many plants on the same trellis, so it looks very beautiful. Every time I pass by someone's house with a trellis of bougainvillea blooming thickly on the gate, I admire the homeowner. They invested in making a trellis on the gate, and meticulously shaped the flowers to climb along the round arch, which looks very beautiful. Some houses also carefully coordinate the flower colors to make them beautiful, pink combined with white brings a gentle and poetic feeling, red mixed with orange makes the house more brilliant and outstanding, some homeowners even combine all five colors pink - orange - yellow - red - purple, although beautiful but a bit confusing.

In the coastal city where I live, there is a famous bougainvillea cafe. The cafe is sought out by many people not because it is big, beautiful, or luxurious, nor because the drinks here are delicious, but simply because the cafe has a very beautiful bougainvillea trellis, and an impeccable view. The cafe is located right at the intersection, near the port, a small cafe but somehow it looks so beautiful in pictures. Perhaps the bougainvillea trellis has created a famous beautiful view for the cafe. So in the pictures posted on Facebook, the bougainvillea cafe appears quite a lot.

I love bougainvillea partly because of its fragile, brilliant beauty and partly because few flowers have such a strong vitality as bougainvillea. Just cut a section of the stem, plant it, and a new green sprout will sprout. The plant grows very quickly, crawling according to the owner's will, blooming in a few months, the flowers last for a few months. Plant a bougainvillea trellis in front of the porch, providing shade, shelter from the rain, and flowers to admire for months. And the flowers do not need any care. They just grow and grow, crawling together to form a wide canopy. In the dry season, just watering a little bit every now and then is enough. Yet the flowers are brilliant, the leaves are green as if the plant drinks the air and the night dew to live.

Nowadays, people grow bougainvillea into bonsai. During Tet, on the streets, besides apricot, peach, marigold, lily... there are also colorful pots of bougainvillea. Each root is as big as a fist, meticulously and elaborately bent, creating beautiful shapes. People buy bougainvillea for Tet partly because it is beautiful, has many colors, and partly because it lasts and is easy to care for. I look at the bonsai pots of bougainvillea, I like it but I don't love it. Suddenly I feel a bit strange. Like a lost young girl in the city. Bougainvillea is a vine, it must be allowed to climb up a trellis to show off its beauty. Putting it in a pot, shaping it, creating a style, I feel so sorry for it...
