今天去shopping的時候，經過Smith & Hawken，看到有賣水仙花的球根，於是拿了幾個，放到紙袋裏去。
每年冬天的時候，爸爸都會種水仙花。下班的時候，他帶回來仔細挑選過的球根，色澤褐亮，手感飽滿。吃過晚飯以後，爸爸就開始整理球根，先是剝去表麵褐色的外皮，然後用尖銳的刀片沿著鱗紋一點點地刻開，爸爸說這叫催芽，是很關鍵的一步，很需要耐心，不能誤傷嫩芽。然後媽媽會拿出前年收存的各色各形的水仙花盆和鵝卵石，我倒入清水，爸爸把水仙花根小心翼翼地放進去。我們家的冬天才真正開始了。
爸爸嚴格調整著水仙花的日照時間，換水次數，這樣新年的時候會有一批開放，然後春節的時候又有一批。水仙花在朝南的窗台上靜靜地沐浴著陽光，不需要施肥，隻要清清的水，和燦爛的陽光。開放的時候，整個房間裏都會清香撲鼻，特別是晚上開暖氣的時候。我特別喜歡那種單層瓣的，簡潔清雅，亭亭玉立，真地像淩波仙子一樣，一塵不染。有時候我就癡癡地趴在水仙花邊上，久久地聞著那清香。
今天看到那些褐色樸素的球根，忍不住又想起那些溫暖清香的晚上，那些和爸爸媽媽在一起度過的冬天的假日，那朝南房間的燦爛陽光。
付錢的時候，花店的小夥子問我，你以前種過麽，我點點頭，但他還是很好心地給我裝幀精美的種植指南。回來看了一下，他們不切割催芽的，但是提倡放一點酒精促生長，嗬嗬。
把水仙花的球莖一個個放進玻璃缸裏，倒入清水的時候，很想家，水仙花開的時候，我要回去看爸爸媽媽。
BTW, I have a pot of 文竹, too. When it doesn't get enough indirect sunlight, it will become viny.
When I grew up and till today , my mother has been the one who has the green thumb in my household, she is very affectionate to grow house plants, especially those perennial flowery ones such as orchids, jasmine, lilies asparagus setaceous etc. My mother is exceptionally good at tending asparagus setaceous, she often deploys the techniques she learned from books or veteran gardeners and finds the best suitable spots in our house just to seat her “babies“ for them to grow lushly. Once, one pod of asparagus setaceous bloomed, its tiny little white flowers were perking out from the needle -thin leaves gave away distinct, delicate, and delightful fragrance which flowed in the air dreamily.
On the contrast, my father and I are complete clueless with plants. Time to time, I was the one who inflicted more harms then help. In fact, I remember , each time my mother put a blooming pot in my room with an aim to tone down the macho deco of my room and enlighten her son’s sense for beauty, it would often end with tragic endings. As the matter of fact, asparagus setaceous normally was first to go, because my room used to litter with dirty socks and other unmentionable clothes , that was how I know asparagus setaceous was kind of susceptible to the excessive emissions from both my electronic video gaming components and my dirty garmentsL. For save her plants and her son, my poor mother would come in my room, opening windows, pulling up the drapes, letting light in and nagging me to pick up my dirty clothes and shoes and put them the laundry hamper when she got a chance. Still, only matter of time, I had to apology to the demised plants, of course, plead to my mother for her forgiveness L. For all my chronicle bad behaviors, my mother seems never to be deterred to stop putting plants in my room as long as I can remember. Last winter when I went back home for vaca, I saw a pot of luxuriant asparagus setaceous sitting quietly on the desk in my room showered with soft morning sunlight through the window panes along with posters, comic books, remote control toys, music instruments, video game gears, trophies and cds … But, this time around, it no longer looked odd anymore, the flower pot actually blended in pretty well with the fixtures in my boyish room.
Hope your narcissus bulbs doing well to provide you with some comfort of home far away from home.
老美的剪發技術實在不敢恭維。
我的頭發跟你一樣也是短發（和PP裏的一樣）。幾乎3個月就要剪一次，剪的不好心裏很氣憤。
今年暑假回上海，我燙了頭發，他們把這叫“定型”---用最大的卷發器，隻燙很短的時間。放下後，頭發有點自然卷，很服帖，也很好打理。而且稍稍長點的話，也很好看。
你明年回去的時候可以試試。
再次安慰妹妹！
狼mm，很高興能夠分享水仙花的回憶，我以前也養文竹，現在美國的書桌上也有一棵類似的。如果我沒記錯的話，文竹其實喜歡陰暗潮濕的吧。
照片是google來得，不好意思侵犯版權了，不知道是誰拍的阿。還好我也不是商業用途，希望原照片作者不要找我打官司，嗬嗬。
四月風mm好，我在搜索水仙花照片的時候看到歐洲的有地方大片大片地種植水仙花，別有一番景色。
又換新照片了！越來越漂亮了。
國內的時候，我爸爸和“落花飄零”的爸爸一樣，過年的時候必定種植。每串出一束花苞，全家人都興奮異常，然後時時刻刻等待它開花。
平時我老爸還喜歡養文竹。文竹的香更淡，也更不好養。
唉，上海的濕冷天氣對養花養草都是挑戰。
往年過節都在上班，今年突然在家，很不習慣，想家。
