奇迹

两周前的周二（3.29）中午，发生了一件非常神奇的事情。我一直想记一下。
前一天买了两盆虞美人，非常妖娆的花，橙红与黄色。

I witness a miracle of corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) on 3.29. Very remarkable. 　　
妖娆在于，颤巍巍修长的花茎，平展开来洒脱的花形，当然，鲜艳的颜色。
而毛茸茸丑陋的花苞则倍显诡异。
总之，一个美人动人心魄的方方面面，都占全了。

Corn poppy is called Beauty Yu in Chinese, which is very reasonable, with a long fragile stem, a bright color flower in flat, unconquerable shape, it holds all important features for a charming beauty. Nevertheless, the ugly buds with fur also add more mystery, how could there be nothing sinister arround a beauty?


我拍这张是想记录一下那两个花苞外毛茸茸的丑陋的壳是怎么裂成两半的。注意，这还是一个团起来的花骨朵。

I took this picture to see how the ugly bud shell breaks into two parts to let the petals out.
Please note, till now, it is still a closed bud.


不羁的花朵，里面的花蕊非常有趣

The yellow free flower with interesting stamen and pollen.


丑陋的花苞从土里长出来

The bud grows out.


然后我出于良心的责备，开始收拾到处是泥浆一团糟的阳台，半小时后我直起腰，傻了。
嘭，刚才那个团起来的花骨朵居然已经无声无息得开成了一大朵！

Then I began to clean my poor balcony with muds. Half an hour later, when I stood up again, something unbelievable happened.
Puff, the bud just turned into a big new flower!


那些才舒展开来的花瓣上还留着崭新的褶皱

See these new drapes on the fresh petals.


转眼间，它们就成了这样，继续摇曳生姿。

I didn't expect they will change into such a set in no time, keep on swinging... 图在虞美人

那些崭新的皱褶真美！

美的有点张扬
更喜欢Stellaria holostea 的朴实(lychnis diary)

嗯，是比较张扬的
有清素淡雅，自然也有浓愁烈酒，总是各不相同。:)
