The love of violets
Yanru
I love violets, especially purple violets.
It is said that when the goddess Venus said goodbye to her loved one, she shed tears of longing and fell into the soil, and then gave birth to purple leaves and stems. The leaves and stems grow one by one, piece by piece, section by section, branch by branch, cluster by cluster, never messy, the violet grows tirelessly like this.
The delicate leaves, stems and figure are never afraid of the hardships of the scorching sun, nor are they afraid of the ravages of heavy rain. Even if the stems and leaves are broken or about to dry up, they can absorb nutrients and moisture from the air and soil, and then actively, tenaciously and tenaciously take root and grow. Violet has always been so vibrant.
Small purple-pink flowers will bloom, blooming at the end of a cluster of leaves. Only one flower blooms in a cluster, and the flowers gather together to bloom into pieces of small purple-pink flowers. They are so delicate, simple and fresh. So noble, mysterious and elegant.
Legend has it that the original violets did not have purple, only blue that was close to purple. Later, under the painstaking cultivation of a master gardener, purple violets as beautiful as smoke were finally produced. This color is like a dream, very unreal, and seems to disappear if you are not careful. Just like love, it is beautiful but fleeting. Therefore, there is another way to say the flower language of purple violets: carefully guarded love. When
was very young, I remember that there were luxuriant and orderly clumps of violets blooming in front of and behind the house. The leaves are a noble purple color that I love most, and the flowers are a unique purple-pink color, which is really beautiful and extremely beautiful. However, violets never require anyone to take care of them, but such vitality and beauty are always around to watch and accompany them.
The flower language of violets represents eternal beauty and love, simplicity, virtue, and the coolness of midsummer. The meaning of each color is also different. For example, the flower language of blue violet is: vigilance, loyalty, I will always be loyal; the yellow violet represents simplicity. People who receive yellow violets are mostly praised by others for their boldness, carefulness, regular life, courage and fighting spirit. Only simple people can receive such praise. The flower language of white violets is: Let us seize the opportunity of happiness! The noble, mysterious and dreamy purple also represents the promise of love. Giving violets to your favorite person means that you will always be by your lover's side, and will never abandon or betray each other when encountering any difficulties or setbacks. This is a promise between husband and wife, and a promise between lovers. It is also a symbol of trust and care between loved ones and friends, which is particularly sacred and warm.
After I moved to the city, I planted many flowers on my balcony, but the violets from my hometown were isolated for many years. Too many complicated and trivial things made me feel familiar with the dreamy and beautiful violet, and I temporarily forgot about it, but it has always remained in my heart vaguely, seemingly far away. I always feel that the unique nobility, freshness, order, elegance and beauty are always around me, in the deepest part of my memory and soul.
Finally one day, after the noble flower tree in the purple flowerpot froze to death, my mother brought me violets from my hometown and planted them in the purple flowerpot. Violets and flower pots complement each other perfectly.
From then on, the violets grew out of control on the balcony, and there was no need to worry. As long as there was a little water, even if many of the violet stems died silently, the surviving parts were always so vibrant and crisp. After watering, a large area of particularly lush but orderly upward and vibrant leaf stems will soon grow, and then pieces of unique and beautiful purple-pink flowers will bloom.
Sometimes, the flowers and leaves are too lush, and my mother will pinch off many of them, leaving only a few parts. Seeing that the flowers and leaves that grow so well and are so beautiful are pinched off, I feel a little distressed. But what is fortunate and comforting is that as long as the pinched leaf stems are inserted into moist soil, they will immediately grow full of vitality, and no harm will be seen at all. As long as the rare violets are watered, they will sprout lush clusters of new leaves and new branches in a short time.
Such a scene makes people feel: if the heart is not always filled with firm and dedicated love, how could Violet have such strong and firm vitality?
I love Violet, and I also love the people in my life who love me and me. Violet flowers and violet leaves have always been tenacious and silent, beautiful and noble. The blooming of each violet flower and leaf represents endless and firm thoughts, watching, care and love.
