I'm a golden finger who can plant anything and die. Even cacti can be planted to death by me, so I won't take the initiative to plant any flowers in my life, but my favorite flower is rare in Taiwan. Shahua (also known as: other shore flower)

Its red beauty is aloof and cold, coupled with its various legends and stories, it fascinates me, and it also becomes a strange flower in my novels.

Every year when it comes to flowering, looking for the traces closest to me is what I do every year. Every year I am full of hope, and every time I fail, on the evening of September 5 last year, someone was in Taichung Branch. One plant was photographed at the museum. My sister and I arrived at 6 o'clock, but I didn't know the exact location. The flowering period was seven to ten days. It rained again two days ago. There is no hope.

I asked the guards and the administrators, but the sky was dark and the lighting in the park was insufficient. The two sisters searched for nearly an hour with their cellphones on, and then gave up, and I was used to failing again and again.

On September 15 last year, Joy knew that I liked the other side flower, and brought the bulb back from Ma Lin. It is Ma Lin's county flower; I just asked her at first, but I didn't expect her to feel relieved.

I said that I just can’t live, so I don’t plant it, otherwise the roots can be bought in Taiwan, and there are many people who can’t bloom after planting, and some people can’t wait for six or seven years to bloom, but There are also people who will plant it regardless of who they want, but those are the ones who have planted it, and I am a problem with even planting.

JOY said: "I can help you plant."
Her words, so began my road to the other side of the flower.

Then I tracked the progress of the flower occasionally, and on the 27th of October it had leaves, because the growth was slow.

Counting the days, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn this year are the days when it opens. Someone planted the other side of the mountain in Taichung. I really wanted to rush to see it, but I was still in quarantine because my family was finally diagnosed. Just take care of our flowers.

She said that she was just about to tell me about the flower buds, so she took pictures for me.

God, I'm about to see it alive in front of me... With buds, there is a chance to bloom.

On the 14th of July, my sister went out of the customs and helped me get the flowers and brought them home. There was only one flower bud, which was open, so excited and joyful, and a little snail. I wanted to keep it in my room, but I thought about keeping it downstairs to avoid breaking it.

Before going to bed on July 15th, I went downstairs to look at the flowers again. The left buds started to stretch, and a third of them were open. I had to go to work the next day, so I had to get up five minutes earlier, and maybe it would be fully open. I added a little water to it today, it's really beautiful, and my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.

On the day when I was diagnosed and quarantined, as the umbels became more and more blooming and the flowers were bright red, I was full of joy. When all of them bloomed 90%, my sister and I took it up the mountain to take pictures, although only One plant, that arrogant branch, that bright red color, is my whole world.

I no longer need to go to the Internet to use other people's photos, I can have my own flowers.

Gradually, as it blooms, it gradually comes to the end of its life. Although there are four rhizomes at the bottom, the other three seem to have no movement. However, I will continue to take care of it carefully. After thanking, there will be new flowers on the other side.
