宁波 - 石浦海鲜 (2004.10.3)

  周六签了买房合同,结束了苦恼疲劳的看房拉锯战,从此负债经营,一脚踏进了上海楼市,坐在了大泡沫上。时间是海绵里挤出来的水,钱是指缝里流走的沙子。从此俺有水没沙子了。
  到处玩的事情全砍掉。嗯,可以在家清书堆了,还有成堆的文档可以学习,认真研究吃饭赚钱的把式。
  
  

这天目标非常明确,我们一整天都想着晚上的一顿美食,基本没干啥。黄昏坐车去到石浦,想想不能这么直奔主题,心猿意马爬到海岸围墙上掐了几张,管它拍啥,满脑子都是吃的。

Shi Pu is the famous fishing port in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. In the dusk, we arrived there for seafood.

  
  
街上还有‘开渔节’的横幅,当地很重要的日子,刚过去不久,海湾里渔船在夜幕里归来

 原来你在宁波找补回来海鲜了。
  贝壳类的我和nino最爱!!
  狂吃各类海产的今年夏天阿! 还在流口水阿。。每当我和nino再一次再一次说起时候。。掐者手指头数:竹节虾,,软螺,,海砺子,,扇贝,,蛏子,,蛤蜊,,OMG,,都翻着眼珠无限怀想。。。
  螃蟹自然有的,但我们都嫌烦不吃。
  那个长相奇特的“将军”,只有老爸会读,我听了几遍还是没记住。不好吃吧?
  有仔的会好吃么?口感不好吧?
  
  另外,似乎该是conch, mussel,
  再另外,这次nino收集了各色贝壳,对照他的知识图片一一叫出了响亮的名字.so,以后注意你吃完后把壳带回。呵呵 (evidence)

  谢谢好色,总算认识了。:)
  嗯,这个大帅哥不很好吃,很一般
  
  是啊,海鲜真好吃。江浙这边也就石浦了,但总还是比不上南方又多又好。
  我觉得海瓜子真好吃,新鲜又便宜,炒一盆下酒正好
  住在海边真幸福啊
  作菜很容易,根本不用动脑子,方正不是蒸就是炒,不用干吗都很好吃
  
  对了,最近公司两次组织聚餐都是吃日本餐
  清酒和梅酒
  清酒非常淡,我觉得和淡米酒非常相似,应该有些什么香味吧,反正我也不懂。第二次我觉得基本就是米酒。
  梅酒很好喝,酸酸甜甜,偏黄色,梅子的果汁味
  宁波的那边的应该叫杨梅酒,就是泡在酒里几个大杨梅,也挺好的,味道不错
  生鱼片就三文鱼、北极贝比较好吃
  日本组的都极力推荐生海星,没觉得哪里好
  觉得烤海鱼(半片)很好吃,忘了什么名称
  日本人很舒服啊,老吃海鲜
  
  好,以后收集壳。

  This post is like a lesson in marine biolology for me :)
  The 'shoe bottoms' must be a Mollusk (Snail) from the class 'Polyplacophora', maybe Chiton. I remember them from zoology and palaeontology lessons but haven't seen them by myself. It is astonishing for me to see them in a dish... In German they are called 'Kaeferschnecken' (beetle snails).
  I'll try to find out what the animal between the two shells is. Very interesting.
  
  The cat seems to be very satisfied with the sea food. No surprise, it looks delicious.

  I showed your pictures to my colleagues at university. They were very surprised that limulus (the crab with the long tail) and polyplacophora can be eaten.
  They said, the 'sea cucumber' is a kind of polyp; sea cucumbers look different. But none of them had an idea what the green thing between the shells ('sea animal living on sea rocks') could be. We finally agreed: it must be the claw of a dragon! ;)

  哈哈,这下有结论了:
  Limulus:
  鲎 hòu
  鲎鱼。亦称中国鲎、东方鲎 [horseshoe crab]。剑尾亚纲,特别是鲎目节肢动物的通称。有一个宽的新月形的头胸甲,在背面有一对大的复眼及两单眼,腹面生出六对步足,中部具一口,有一短小的腹部,腹部与头胸甲有关节相接,腹节愈合成一片,游泳足上附着扁平叶片状鳃,有一长而硬的可动关节的尾剑。如:鲎帆(鲎鱼的脊背);鲎杓(用鲎壳制成的杓子);鲎媚(鲎鱼的别名);鲎樽(用鲎壳制成的酒杯)
  [方]∶虹的别称 [rainbow]
  
  鲎
  (鱟)
  hòu
   ㄏㄡˋ
  节肢动物,甲壳类,生活在海中,尾坚硬,形状像宝剑。肉可食:~帆(鲎腹部甲壳可以上下翘动,上举时,称“鲎帆”)。
  〔~虫〕节肢动物。俗称“水鳖子”、“王八鱼”。

Thank you, Denise. We have some problem about how to write the Chinese name of Limulus. As you may see, that word is very complicated. :) Now, mapping back from Limulus, I get a long long description in dictionary.
Yes, it can be cooked. Almost each seafood shop provides it. And said it is very good to health.

Actually I also dont think it is sea cucumber, but I just cant recall what it is the name. Em, my brain power all focuses on eating at that time. By the way, it is delicious.

The 'shoe bottom'. I think it looks like bettle very much in the first glance. One small common bettle is almose the same style, it likes to roll into a ball whenever in problem, we call it 'watermellon bettle'. But when the seller said it is called shoe bottom, I agreed at once. Because if look from the abdomen, it just like a shoe bottom. :-D
Yes, it is edible. And is expensive, the same degree as the one living on rock. I suppose it is hard to collect them.
But it is troublesome to eat, you should get rid of the shell, clear the outside line arround the shoe bottom (muds arround the shoe), then it is ready for eat. Em, it tastes so so, in our opinion, comparing with the trouble to make it ready.

About the one on rock. Now I think I should take more detailed photo for it, such as the shell opened, the internal. I saw it living on sea side rocks before. So I didn't pay too much attention to it.
We called it: Fo Shou, that is the hand of Budha
Actually there is a fruit also with the same name: Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis Swingle. It is a yellow hand of Budha with fragrance.
This sea food one also called: hand of tortoise, calligraphy brush support (the green mountain like shape similar to the brush support)
the brown part beneath the green shell fixes itself hard into the rock slot. It is very powerful. The island people told us it is a expesive sea food. So I tried to pull it out, no luck. Very strong musle it has.
I tried to search out the English name for it, but, all information is good suggestion to taste it if you go south China seaside. :)
Well, it is a kind of Cirripedia
It looks like shell kind, but said it is more close to crab and shrimp.
The green part is 2 shells. This pic maybe more clear.

  Thanks for your information about the 'hand of Buddha'. The most important hint was: Cirripedia. That was Sebastian's and my suggestion, but my colleagues didn't agree.
  Ok, now I know we're right :)
  Searching the web for 'Cirripedia' I only find pictures of barnacles. They are very common (e.g. in North Sea), sitting on rocks or shells.
  Oh, interesting: searching for 'Fo shou' I find lots of sites (also in German) about Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis. It seems to be a very popular herb.
  
  Yesterday in my zoology course the students were dissecting crayfish. I couldn't help thinking about how Chinese cooks would prepare it. And, of course, how it would taste...

  Crayfish....
  Do you mean this one?
  
  
  Bingo, you are right, we cook it. :-D Well, Chinese eats everything, almost.
  For your information, it is a very deliciouse spicy food:
  
  Very popular recent years.
  
  The problem is:
  this crayfish (if it is crayfish) eats all dirty things and living in probably poisonous environment, especially when polution goes more. It will bring the accumulated poison to people, possibly. So it is alway a dilemma: Eat it or not?
  
  
评论人:乱看 评论日期:2004-12-2 17:12


  Yes, very similar to that one. We had Turkish crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus). The colour is greenish brown or blue.
  
  In the past Europeans used to catch and eat crayfish. We have brooks called 'Krebsbach' (crayfish brook), and crayfish can be found on old paintings. Our European crayfish (Astacus astacus) lives in clean water, so it is no problem to eat it. Because of water pollution it became very seldom in nature.
  There are restaurants in Germany who offer crayfish (raised in clean water), but I've never eaten it.
  
  Recently different species like Turkish or American crayfish are settling in European rivers and brooks. They don't mind dirty water. I guess it wouldn't be healthy to eat them.

  what is Cirripedia in Chinese?...@-@?
评论人:linz 评论日期:2004-12-3 16:12


  allow me to try a translation (as i allow you to laugh)
  
  zhi(1) jiao(3)
  
  the expression relates to to the twig like extremities the animal uses to filter its food out of the water.
  
  actually it is not twig (which is wood) but more a very strong but flexible kind of twig, like blackberry plant. so i suppose zhi(1) does not exactly catch the meaning...
  
  cirripedia is derived from latin:
  cir (tendril) (did not find "tendril" in the dict)
  pes, pedes (foot, feet)
  
  sorry that i still do not master my input method - need to keep with pinyin.
  
  many regards from sebastian

  Thank you Sebastian. better understanding now. :)
  
  Let add some Chinese information get from net:
  
  甲壳纲(crustacea)
  
  通常头胸部背侧有头胸甲(背甲),具有2对触角的节肢动物。现存约3万种,绝大多数水生,少数栖于陆地或寄生。
  
  根据背甲的形状、附肢及身体分节等特征分5亚纲。
  
  1.鳃足亚纲(Branchiopoda) 大多为淡水小型浮游动物,以悬浮于水中的微型浮游生物为食,背甲或有或无。身体的形态以及附肢等变化较大。如丰年虫(Chirocephalus)、鲎虫(Apus)和水蚤(Daphnia)等。
  
  水蚤是淡水中常见的种类,属枝角目(Cladocera)体侧扁,背面与身体相连、腹面游离。腹部小,常弯曲在胸部下方,无附肢。雌雄异体,常行孤雌生殖,雌性有一孵育囊,夏、秋繁殖最盛,为鱼类天然饵料。
  
  2.介形亚纲(Ostracoda) 是淡水近底部的动物,在海洋中则为大洋浮游生物的组成成分。体小,分节不明显。头部两对触角都很发达。孤雌生殖普遍。如介虫(Cypris)、海萤(Cypridina)等。
  
  3.桡足亚纲(Copepoda) 大多自由生活,为海洋和淡水浮游生物的重要组成成分。少数寄生。体多呈圆锥形,头部往往与胸部体节愈合无复眼,体表一般无背甲,腹部无附肢,借头部与胸部附肢动物,如剑水蚤(Cyclops),为各种淡水水域最常见的种类;华镖水蚤(Sinocalanus)是海洋常见的种类。寄生的种类如寄生鱼鳃和皮肤上的中华鳋、锚头鳋(Jernaea)等,对鱼类危害比较严重。
  
  4.蔓足亚纲(Cirripedia) 全部海生,成体固着生活,背甲变成含石灰质的外壳,包被体或全身。头部不明显,一般为雌雄同体。如藤壶(Balanus)、石砌(Pollicipes) 等。寄生于蟹腹部的蟹奴(Sacculina)整个身体极度简化,形成一无分节的囊,以根状突起伸入宿主内吸取营养。
  
  5.软甲亚纲(Malacostraca) 身体一般较大,体节和附肢数均有一定。头部与胸部或一部分胸部体节合成头胸部,通常具背甲。绝大多数水生,淡水、海水均有分布,如虾、蟹、虾蛄 (Squilla)、糠虾(Mysis)等等,少数过渡到陆栖生活,如鼠妇(Porcellio),也有极少数寄生种类,如鱼怪 (Ichthyoxenus)。
  
  常见的虾、蟹大多属软甲亚纲、十足目,不少具有很大的经济价值。
  
  如对虾 (Penaeus orientalis)为十足目(Decapoda)、对虾科(Penaeidae),体大,侧扁。表面光滑,甲壳薄。头胸甲有触角刺、肝刺及胃上刺。腹部有纵脊。尾节末端尖。前3对步足钳状。后2对步足爪状。体青蓝色,胸部、腹部肢体略带红色。生活于浅海泥沙底。以小形甲壳类、软体动物的幼体或矽藻为食。产卵期4月至6月。夏初孵化至秋末,体长与亲虾相似。分布于中国黄海、渤海及东海海域。
  
  许多甲壳类是重要的浮游生物组成部分,如丰年虫、水蚤、剑水蚤、华镖水蚤等为鱼、虾的饵料。
  
  中国的虾、蟹种类很多,其中最著名的如对虾和中华绒鳌蟹等,已进行人工养殖。
  
  I think you mean '枝脚’
  I agree this one sounds more dirrect. But maybe for some historical reason (for example, the first translator prefers), the technical name is '蔓足’(man zu), tendril/vine foot (see! exact tendril! :))))
  
  Em, now I see why people say this insteresting one is cirripedia...
  after open the two green shell, inside there are a lot of feet/hands.
  It is interesting, the shell looks like a plant (like green bamboo shoot). Then when found out it is not plant, actually a shell. But it is not belong to those shellfish. Actually a cirripedia!
  Very cool.
  
评论人:乱看 评论日期:2004-12-4 10:24


  you are right, those (枝脚) where the ones i wanted to write.
  
  still i think '枝' is not really OK, and '蔓' expresses the idea better.
  why? well, you can expect twigs to break, but not tendrils. and when you look at the legs of cirripedia, you will find they are not stiff, but kind of flexible. more like tendrils indeed.
  
  concerning foot - what is the difference between 脚 and 足 ???
  asks sebastian, the curious.
评论人:dropin 评论日期:2004-12-4 16:57


  and some more totally suporfluous information.
  when seeing 十足 i thought of the other animals with 10 feet. because i like 'mo(4) you(2)' better - as a dish....
  
  sebastian (who else)
评论人:dropin 评论日期:2004-12-4 17:28


  Actually we never say '蔓足’in daily life. So when I hit this word after searching, I can't get any idea about what does it mean and thought: well, it is a professional noun, so it's as in-understandable as possible. No sense to think more about it.
  But after some discussion about cirripedia, and check '蔓' in dictionary, I am astonished: it is so strictly mapped! So, the one translated that really worked hard at that time....
  
  About 脚 and 足,actually there is no difference if you mean 'foot' for them. The only tricky is, 脚 is for daily life using, oral, informal. And 足 is formal, for essay usage. As 'cirripedia' is a technical name, so it is translated into 足 to have a scientific air, more solemn. If translated into '蔓脚', it will feel a little like a nick name (well, actually no such hard nick name at all).
  
  But as most of Chinese words, they each has different meaning if you use it in other sense.
  So actually in daily life, 十足 means 'very much', to emphasize.
  十,ten, in chinese ten means full, perfect. for example, 十全十美,as perfect as possible (ten full ten beautiful)
  足,means fully filled, enough.
  so 十足 means very much, for example 神气十足,means showy/pround/swollen-headed/stuck-up very much.
  But for Decapoda (十足目), 十足 just means ten feet word by word.
  
  By the way, is there difference between poda and pedia? Why some is poda, some is pedia?
  
  Em, do you mean ‘墨鱼’for mo you?
  It should be mo4 yu2 (actuall, u should with omlet), cuttle fish.
  Yes, 泡椒墨鱼仔 is a delicious dish...
  The direct translation of the dish: soaked (with salt) chilli cuttle fish babies. ( :-! seems cruel, babies... I should use small cuttle fish) Em, it is a very good dish.

  嗯,好色说的鸳鸯鱼是对的:
  
  鲎的长相既像虾又像蟹,人称之为“马蹄蟹”,是一类与三叶虫 (现在只有化石)一样古老的动物。鲎的祖先出现在地质历史时期古生代的泥盆纪,当时恐龙尚未崛起,原始鱼类刚刚问世,随着时间的推移,与它同时代的动物或者进化、或者灭绝,而惟独只有鲎从4 亿多年前问世至今仍保留其原始而古老的相貌,所以鲎有“活化石”之称。

  每当春夏季鲎的繁殖季节,雌雄一旦结为夫妻,便形影不离,肥大的雌鲎常驮着瘦小的丈夫蹒跚而行。此时捉到一只鲎,提起来便是一对,故鲎享“海底鴛鴦”之美称。

  鲎有四只眼睛。头胸甲前端有0.5毫米的两只小眼睛,小眼睛对紫外光最敏感,说明这对眼睛只用来感知亮度。在鲎的头胸甲两侧有一对大复眼,每只眼睛是由若干个小眼睛组成。人们发现鲎的复眼有一种侧抑制现象,也就是能使物体的图像更加清晰,这一原理被应用于电视和雷达系统中,提高了电视成像的清晰度和雷达的显示灵敏度。为此,这种亿万年默默无闻的古老动物一跃而成为近代仿生学中一颗引人瞩目的“明星”。

  鲎的血液中含有铜离子,它的血液是蓝色的。这种蓝色血液的提取物——“鲎试剂”,可以准确、快速地检测人体内部组织是否因细菌感染而致病;在制药和食品工业中,可用它对毒素污染进行监测。

  此外,鲎的肉、卵均可食用。
  
  鲎,属节肢动物,肢口纲。在3亿中前的泥盆纪末期,鲎就问世了,堪称海洋里的远古遗民。鲎是用鳃呼吸的节胶动物,目前世界上仅有4种:中国鲎、美洲鲎、马来鲎和圆尾鲎。
 鲎的外形酷似一把秦琴,全身分为头胸甲、腹甲、剑尾3部分。剑尾酷似一把三角刮刀,挥动自如,是鲎的防卫武器。鲎的嘴巴长在头胸甲的中间,嘴边有一对钳子似的小腿,帮助摄取食物,嘴的周围长有10条腿。雌鲎的4条前腿上,长着4把钳子,而雄鲎却是4把钩子。原来雄鲎总是把钩子搭在雌鲎的背上,让雌鲎背着它四处旅行。鲎的胸腹甲交接部长着一片片像桨一样的腹肢,用来游泳,同时,也是它的呼吸系统。鲎一旦被逼离开海水,要经过好几大才死,比蟹类有更强的生命力。
 丑陋而懒惰的鲎,对“爱情”却很专一,雌雄鲎一旦结为“夫妇”便形影不离。肥大的雌鲎背驮着比它瘦小的雄鲎,蹒珊爬行,它们成对地在潮间带浅滩上筑巢做窝。雌鲎从两个生殖孔中同时排出数以万计的绿豆大小的卵,这时,雄鲎也开始排精,使鲎卵在体外受精。受精卵在沙地借助太阳能,日渐发育成熟,四五十天后,小鲎便被卵而出,然后像螃蟹那样,随身体的发育一次次把旧皮脱去。这是一个艰难的生长过程,要经过好几个寒暑,一只拇指大小的幼鲎才能长为一只成年鲎。
  
  


说它有四只眼,我一只也没看到。。。 :(

Said Limulus has 4 eyes, I saw none of them...

  谢十足
  (although i have the strong feeling this is again incorrect....)
  
  the difference between "pod" and "ped". this one is tricky, and many people are not aware of it. 'pod' stems from the greek language (pous, podos), 'ped' from latin. in the western scientific tradition, both languages are used to give names. in older times both languages were regarded to be essential for every scientist, so these were used as common reference each scientist will understand.
  of course times have changed, and sometimes people want to give scientific sounding names, not knowing exactly that there are two different (real) languages behind the (virtual) "scientific" language. and then it happens - a non-word is created, mixed from both languages.
  a very famous example is: "hexadecimal"
  hexa is greek, meaning six (6, 六)
  decimal is derived from latin referring to ten (10, 十)
  
  putting them together is actually simplpy wrong -- correct would be "sedecimal" (latin) or "hexadekadic" (greek). but people got used to the "wrong" one in the meantime.
  
  limulus has 4 eyes, but they are very very small. let's wait for denise to explain it in more detail.

  The 2 compound eyes on the sides are bigger and easier to find; the 2 ocelli are very small and close together at the front of the head.
  A compound eye is the highly developed eye of arthropods (crabs, insects). Here is a site with a good explanation:

  An ocellus is a very simple eye, it only can distinguish between light and dark/shadow.

  Thanks, sebastian and Denise.
  Em, next time I will check the eyes if I meet it somewhere again. Interesting.
  
  No, 谢十足 is not correct.
  Emm, I didn't tell you actually 十足 has a very slight negative sense. And it is used with some fixed words. So it can't be used just as 'Thank you very much'.
  Instead, you can use 多谢 (Many thanks) or 十分感谢 (very much thank you)
  The negative sense can see more apparent in the following example:

清洁工在罢工!

  楼里的阿姨都跑到一楼静坐了,大家举着牌子:我们要工资!我们要吃饭!
  所有洗手间的卷筒纸都收干净了。:-D
  
  呼啦啦,我们都把自己在MSN上的名字改成了‘支持XX楼清洁工罢工’
  大家都很高兴。
  都是劳动人民嘛。资方太坏了,居然拖欠清洁工三个月工资。
  
  话说我们和打扫卫生的阿姨们还是很有感情的
  当我们早班时间因冬令时挪后以后,终于碰到了清早在打扫洗手间的阿姨。
  阿姨很同情地看着我们:挺可怜的,这么早来上班,和我们一样。
  另一个阿姨不屑,说:他们还算好呢,楼下,早上三点多就来了。
  
  那个倒霉的楼下的阶级兄弟是汇丰数据中心,可怜劲儿啊~,我们无比唏嘘。

  Thanks sebastian, everyone in the building feels angry. That's too dirty, didn't pay cleaners for about 3 months.

  maybe escalating might help? do the companies in the building complain at the building maintenance company? (ok, you need the situation better to know whether this helps or even makes the situation worse)
  
  actually, i suppose here (in germany) workers would stop working after the first missing payment. no salary, no work.
  
  many regards (and sympathy) from sebastian

  The strike finished today. I suppose they get what they should have.
  All people feels angry. Companies in the building pay a lot. How can they don't have money pay the cleaners?
  Actually they just berley the cleaners.For cleaners are relatively weak, they are mid-aged aunties that lose other jobs or country-side girls. It's good that they strike and speak out themselves.
   Actually cleaners still come to replace paper and so on yesterday. Everyone was excited, smiling. We all asked, 'ah? not on strike now?' 'No, still on strike. We just come to help you refill the paper.'All are smiling. And when we asked why strike, they tell us the payment things, thus we all understand what happened. The strike is in this way: they all hold slogan on first floor and refuse to work without pay.
  Anyway, we are somehow happy about strik. It's really an event. :))

  i hope they now got their salary.
  i think this strike was really necessary. especially those employees in a weak situation need to show that they still have power. i suppose here in germany the unions are very wealthy so employers do not dare not to pay the salary without going bankrupt...
  if this happens, it is the company's task to ask the building maintenance company exactly the question you pointed out: how come we pay such high rates and the workers are not paid?
  maybe even go to newspapers ...
   and you can well support the striking workers: bring them freshly made tea, or food - even a little piece of chocolate will show your solidarity.
  
  many regards
  sebastian

生生不息的花儿们

  本来以为隔天就能补上些话,拖到现在。
  总之,花儿们是很有趣的。经历过各种磨难之后,在这个秋冬之际,它们都纷纷抽芽冒叶,小日子过得都挺滋润的样子,让俺十分得意。

  
漂亮的窗台,到秋天在花市里发现了天竺葵。去年的那棵在夏天热死掉后,我一直很怀念。它叶子和花都清洁厚实美丽。这把它又回来了。
上面是吊兰,天竺葵
下面是红掌,凤梨,文竹。

They are:
Diao Lan, pelargonium
Anthurium andraeanum Lind, bromelia,Asparagus setaceus


  
天竺葵,会在整个冬天时不时地抽出花芽来

I can only get pink pelargonium here, the only one available in the market. Said it is imported from Holland.
I didn't see it for a whole year until Autumn comes. It can blossom in the whole winter here. And now I can understand, Germany, Holland are much colder. So it has problem to survive in summer. My last one died in the hot summer sun.


  
新长出的叶子

The new leaf, pretty.

  
  
珍珠吊兰,扔在盆里就长起来了,一个个都抬起头来

Peal Diao Lan with heads up

  
  
摇摆的芽,象张着手渴求生命,在阳光中跳舞

Swing in the sunshine

  
  
兔子花抽出的新花苞,低着头
兔子花是俺的死结,就象倒挂金钟是Georgia的死结。我们看到这两种都执著地要买下来,我们分别养死了三盆。Georgia没觉得兔子花有什么特别,我也觉得倒挂金钟很普通。但我们各自都觉得自己要买的花非常有魅力,然后使劲想把它养好 (我现在觉得倒挂金钟更有难度)
今年春天的那盆在奄奄一息之后终于缓过劲来了,可惜那时炎热的夏季来临,它要休眠了。我按网上说的,开始终断浇水,放到阴凉处让它休眠。但秋天了,它怎么也没要活过来的意思
花市上的兔子花都又大又漂亮又贵。我终于努力砍价买了这盆小的,12元,Georgia鼓励我要让它升值,争取把它养成30元的那种规格,而不要秃成5块那种没人要的

Cyclamen bud, a little shy.
I have problem to make cyclamen live well in my place, so I keep on buying it. I've got some ideas after failures. Hope this time it will be fine. :)

  
  
兔子花的花叶子,两颗心

Leaves of cyclamen, two hearts embeded

  
  
茉莉,拿回来呼呼就死了半盆
但是,多么好啊,现在枯枝上冒新芽,玉器一样的精致

Jesmine bud, jade like in sunshine
Half of the plant died, but now new buds comes out. :)

  
  
吊兰的第一个长枝

The first long stem of my Diao Lan

  
  
聪明的凤梨,三角形的玻璃瓶,它在每个角上长出一个新芽

Smart bromelia, I put it in a trangle bottle, now each angle grow out a new bud. They just know where has space.

  
  
凤梨上很好的水培植物,因为是麻质根,泡在水里不易腐烂,所以养起来很省力
但好玩的是,凤梨新长出的根就是白的,长细绒,不再是干巴巴的麻状,好像它知道这样在水里比较好一样

Bromelia is good for water planting, for its root is linen like and wont roten. So it doesn't need much care. But interesting, the new root change its appearance, not the dry brown linen, instead a white one with a lot of soft fur.

  
  
红掌的新芽,红掌的芽总是从一个鞘一样的东西里长出来

New leaf of anthurium comes out from a red sheath

  
  
这个鞘起先附在叶子上,不易察觉,成熟了,就分开来

The sheath grows closely to the bottom of the leaf unnoticable, when ready, it stray off the leaf and comes into a separate shoot.

  
  
红掌的根本来是红白的,养在玻璃杯里,长出叶绿素来
太阳一晒,根们使劲光合,吐出很多气泡来,一会儿,水面上就一层。氧?;)

Anthurium in bottle will grow green roots that can respiration in sun
After a few minutes sunshine, each root generate air bubbles, oxygen? ;)

  
  
日本菊,叶子镶银边,非常漂亮。花苞比开花好看,花市里看到开的,黄黄的秃秃的花

Japanese chrysanthemem (ah~ so hard to spell)
Green leaves with silver edge. Buds are more beautiful than flowers in full. Sure I will say so. :)

  
  
夏天文竹死了一半,现如今冒出新芽,枯枝已是过去

Overcome the tragedy summer dying, asparagus grows out a tiny new shoot, similar way as bamboo.
That's why we called it 'literature (for it is always put on study desk)/graceful bamboo', wen zhu.


  

图片在杂七杂八

-----------------------
  Your windows flowers look familiar to me: chlorophytum (diao lan), philodendron (?) and asparagus I have at home; pelargonium, cyclamen and bromelia also are very popular in Germany. :)
  The one after pelargonium (with little thick leaves) looks similar to a very poisonous (!) plant I know from botanical garden: Senecio rowleyanus (String of Pearls).
  The second last I don't know. The picture is beautiful, with the sun shining on the silvery hair.

  不错嘛,看来你还是养活了不少植物的嘛,上次给你的花花已经牺牲了多少了?
评论人:shellgirl 评论日期:2004-11-22 18:53


  蛮盎然的么。估计你是黄叶子枯枝子就不拍了。
  红盆里种的什么?
评论人:linz 评论日期:2004-11-24 16:58


  嘿嘿,这次不错,你给的那些花都还活着哪。果然都很好养。仙人球给我搬到办公室吸辐射去了,对了,还在花市捡了一个很小很小的红球种在了旁边。大绿球上面正发了一个小球。珍珠吊兰,昙花都长得挺好。就那个有红边的变色龙,情况不怎么样,下面的叶子都不行了,上面还好。反正都还没牺牲,我现在很有长进。;)
  
  红盆的就是珍珠吊兰,网上查了下,叫‘翡翠珠’,‘绿之铃’,更煽情的叫法是‘情人的眼淚’
  
  Yes, it is Senecio rowleyanus, called 'Peal Diao Lan'. Shellgirl gave me some strings. It is very easy to plant, just put the string over the soil and they get alive.
  I check on net. It has a lot of beautiful names:
  emerald balls
  green bells
  and one more: Tears of lover
  It is a very popular plant to decorate home. I see it is popular both in mainland and Tai Wan. Said it is origined from South-west Africa.
  It will look like this:
  
  But no Chinese page said it is poisonous. What kind of poison it is?
  Shellgirl told me it can be used as herb (to cure what, I can't remember exactly). Quite some neighbours ask her mother for this. And it is somehow problematic. For her aunt is not in a good condition after some dose of this 'green pearls' and quit it.
  
  The green leaves with fur is called Japanese Chrysanthemem, according to the flower seller. The one I bought when sebastian visited the flower market with us. :)
  Actually it is not in a good condition, I still didn't find out the way to make it happy. But the photo of a good branch is still very nice. The leaves are more beautiful than the flowers (well, it never blossoms a single flower successfully in my place :-| ).
  
  Em... I have trouble to match all the English names. pelargonium, cyclamen and bromelia are all ok.
  I will add some words to the pictures... currently I can't logon, the site seems under maintainence again, they add a new server....

  I have found some informations about Senecio rowleyanus:
  
  Nearly all plants of the genus 'Senecio’contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (also called 'Senecio alkaloids'), a group of ester alkaloids. They accumulate in the liver where they disintegrate into amino alcohols and necic acids. These acids are hepatotoxic and cause liver cirrhosis and cancer.
  This fact is almost unknown although it was discovered in 1920 and examined from 1950 – 1980.
  [These poisons accumulate in the liver and transform into substances causing serious liver damages/diseases (also cancer). --Denise said this part is redundant with previous paragraph and wants to delete. But actually I understand this part better. :) Last paragraph is quite complicated. So I still keep it here. Sometimes repitition helps understand.]
  If you eat a bit of it once nothing will happen. But if you continue eating a bit of it from time to time you pay it with your live. People died after drinking herbal teas containing plants of the genus Senecio. The leaves of Senecio rowleyanus seem to taste not so bad or even good. It happens that children get a taste for these 'peas on strings’. So please be careful if children are around. And I really wouldn't recommend it as herb.

  with hands held in front and bowing..
  Pelargonium is one sort of plant in Geranium?
评论人:linz 评论日期:2004-11-30 11:13


  :)) Thanks for showing my window garden here. I made it about 9 years ago. The plants changed from time to time.
  
  Pelargonium is very closely related to Geranium. Actually in Germany Pelargonium is called 'Geranie' (Geranium). You can see them very often growing on windowsills or balconies. The plant family is called 'Geraniaceae'.
  
  Denise
评论人:dropin 评论日期:2004-11-30 16:07


  Thank you Denise, so both pelargonium and geranium belong to Geraniaceae.
  When I see the photo, i call the flower geranium, but LK show me it's pelargonium, so I wondered.

Muechen (2004.8.27) - Isar River

  整日里在不同的城市漫无目的地游荡,坐在伊萨河畔的一刹那,所有疲惫都烟消云散,内心开始平静。
  很奇怪,仿佛河流是一个城市的灵魂,它从无所知处来,又去往无所知,永无停息而充满慰籍,就象生命本身。在这样的流逝中,放下心来,还好,没有一样东西是一成不变,在你开始抱怨以前它已经静静流走。
  
  嗯,不要说得那么高深,愉快的原因其实主要是,河水清澈,‘沧浪之水清兮可以濯我足’,嘿嘿,不用等它浊了再说。大吼一声,下游的同志请注意,不要做无谓的动作了……河水非常冰啊。:))
 


在桥上看伊萨河,很庄重的样子,没什么特别

You can never see why a river is good standing on a bridge. They are all the same.



从一条小路插到河边,清澈的滩涂,一等一的好地方

But if cut down from a trail to the river side, the world is totally different.



鸭子啄枯草,不知是找东西吃,还是要筑巢

Hi duck sir, does it taste nice, or you want to build a nestle?



在冰凉的水里游来游去

Em, the answer is very complicated, poor my language. But I can see, the water is cold. :)


从浅石滩到蓝色的水面到婆娑的树影

From the clear pebbles, to the blue water surface, to the dark green trees.



对面的树挺漂亮的

The trees are very beautiful.



还有一丛黄花

There is also a bouch of yellow flowers.


水边的花朵

Some flower living in the water.



开在石滩上

They grow up beneath the pebbles



摇曳在河水旁

And smile beside the river.



蚂蚁在石滩上爬

Little ants are also busy at the riverside.



继续爬

Hurry up, long long way to go.



河边的小路上停着这样一辆车,哈哈,我喜欢慕尼黑!

I can't help laughing when I saw this car resting on the road beside the river. Cool Mr. Driver. :)) I like Munich!

  that "driver" is well known throughout germany.
  his name is werner. he stems from flensburg, the northern most town og germany, and is the so to say hero of a series of totally stupid cartoons.
  btw, he's known to ride motorcycles. and he happens to look very much like his inventor who calls himself 'brösel' (hope the o-umlaut works OK on this page).
  here is a pic of broesel:
  http://bright-eyes.de/files/Werner_Broesel_01.jpg
  
  denise says, the yellow flower probably is "ranunculus acris" - she currently cannot see some of the picures that's why i an first...

  Ah, so that's Mr. Werner. Em, he has a name card on neck.
  Actually this is not my first seeing of him. One of my colleague in last company, a art designer, has one of him. But we dont know what is his name. She likes to collect well produced toy models with details. That small werner is a very good one and very funny and crazy -- it is designed to pull his jean pants down! :))
评论人:乱看 评论日期:2004-11-21 21:38


  Now I can see all pictures :)
  Yes, I still think it is Ranunculus acris (but difficult to tell without seeing the leaves), in English 'meadow buttercup'.
  
  The beautiful trees mainly are white willows. they are very common here and typically growing on river shores.
  Here you can see my description of this tree (click on the leaves. sorry, it is in German only).





White Willow
  
  Thinking of Munich I remember one book: 'Letters Back to Ancient China' by the German author Herbert Rosendorfer.
  You find a description of it here:
  'Letters Back to Ancient China'
  It is telling about a Chinese mandarin who travels 1000 years into the future - to a 20th century Munich.
  This book gives a critical and humorous view on our culture through the eyes of an objective person - for us who are familiar with European culture but have little knowledge of Chinese culture and history.
  I wonder how you - familiar with Chinese culture and history - would think about this book.

  sebastel is taken by surprize - werner and his anatomical details are known even in 中国 .... :-))))))
  actually, werner is supposed to be complete only with a bottle of beer in his hands.
  
  whatsoever. althought this is "german living culture", and it is not the kind of culture someone is very proud of.. but since it can give you a good laugh (even if it is not a refined, sophisticated one) i am not unhappy with it.
  
  right now reading harry potter/order of phoenix. just nice when you're sick and it's a COLD autumn sunday afternoon. (nothing serious, throat and ear giving a bit of pain)
