A potted plant

Hot 1697 views. 2017-7-9 21:50

 Yesterday evening my husband and I walked around the night fair. It was not comfortable to walk through the crowded people on such a hot summer day .Later , we decided to leave . When we were about to go home , we passed by a stall. On the shelves , there were various potted plants. All of them were so verdant. And one of them was so cute . The name of the flower was Baizhang(Spathiphyllum floribundum N.E.Br. cv. levlandil ).In fact , I think I can only take care of Lvluo which seems easier to survive .    

  Baizhang ,with a plastic support frame ,was growing in a round glass vase ,with water ,small stones and two tiny red fish . It cost about 30 yuan . I wanted to have it at the first sight . The vendor agreed to sell it at the price of 25 yuan . Yet , my husband still thought it was too expensive . He said it was better for me to take good care of another two plants at home . It was very obvious that he doubted about my enthusiam and ability . He thought I would forget about the plant very soon .And in fact ,he seems right .Once my son and I took home a small rabbit .But we just liked to play with it at the beginning and no one was willing to do the cleaning for it .There was no doubt that my husband had to take over all the task. And I seldom think of watering flowers . I dragged him and tried to persuade him to buy the plant,but I failed . On the contrary , I was dragged away .On the way home , I advised him that maybe next time he could send me a gift like that plant . Both of us laughed .

  Now , on the second day ,I think of the plant again . I still want to have it . Yet , it is raining outside and there will be no night fair tonight .

  I know it is very easy for me to see the similar plant again . And it is not a bit difficult for me to have it . Yet , it is a good experience to find something beautiful. And it is nice to have something for me to think about and expect for .

  Maybe it is not bad to go to enjoy the plant again instead of taking it home and leaving it aside. Only if it grows well , I will be happy no matter if it stays with me .

This situation happens all the way. In most cases, we are to buy something because of impulses, such as a good book, a nice cloth, and many other interesting adgets. After that, we just dump them when the focus of zeal gradually declines. And then we find we just read few pages of that book, rarely wear the cloth, and almost forgot all the things we once bought.

Besides, to raise some plants indoors is a hobby requires patience and great enthusiasm. We have to regularly water them, trim their twigs, make sure they have enough sunlight and also keep a proper temperature. All makes it a huge project and costs much energy.

Yes, it is not bad to enjoy the plant when we meet it. We do not really have to buy it if we can not guarantee that we can take of it. Sometimes, let it go and witness a thing's growth aside is also a good choice.

You can write as well as I do, and if you study harder, you can even write better than I do.
