Ever since I learned six years ago that there were white cuckoo plums on the beams of the land, I have been going to appointments every year, as if I were going to a feast. In the past few years, I have been paying attention since the Spring Festival, from the large buds of rice grains to seeing the flowers blooming all over the mountains into a sea of flowers, and bidding farewell to the colorful petal rain of white cuckoos and plums. However, it has been three years in full bloom week, there will be a heavy rain, the silk-like petals crumpled, I see that I feel sorry and heartache, "heartache" white plum brewing for a year, finally blooming, but can not be presented in the most beautiful form. Therefore, while looking forward to the blooming of flowers, we also hope that it will not rain. Especially after knowing that "the white cuckoo plum blossoms in the second week after Qingming", I paid more attention to the weather in the second week.

This year is no different. Two weeks ago, when I went in mid-March, I saw a few white cuckoo plum blossoms, the petals were very thin, like a premature baby. I thought that some buds that couldn't stand the temperature difference were abnormally pushed open. Just like the first time I was in a northern city, I wore a silk short-sleeved dress in the second month of the lunar calendar, and the next day the temperature dropped by 20 degrees, and I put on a cotton jacket.

In short, this year will be cold and hot for a while. At that time, I thought that there were still four weeks before the "second week after Qingming", and the white cuckoo plum blossoms officially bloomed early, so I didn't pay much attention to these white cuckoo plum blossoms that bloomed as early as messengers.

Last week, I went to Bald Mountain. On the way back down the mountain, the sun shone on the eastern hill, and I saw that the white cuckoo plum blossoms on the hillside seemed to be blooming. Moving on, along the way, you can see the white cuckoo plum in full bloom all over the mountain. At that time, I was very curious about why this mountain was opened three weeks in advance, and I guessed that it might be the reason for the sunshine. At that time, the team leader on the car also wondered that for so many years, he had gone to the land beam in mid-April to see the white juanmei. It is also said that these white cuckoo plum trees scattered on the hillside are the reason for the leeward and sunny direction.

Although I judged it this way, I was still uneasy when I sat in the car and watched the flowers. At that time, I decided to go to the land beam next weekend to explore the flowers. Sooner rather than later. In contrast, I don't like to look at flowers that bloom and lose.

On Friday night, a friend sent a message that a friend told him that the weather was extreme this year, and the white cuckoo plum bloomed early. Ask me if I have any news? I chuckled in my heart. There happened to be a travel friend, who posted photos and videos on the land beam in the circle of friends, opened it and looked at it, and felt that it was different from the flowers I saw in previous years, and there were many pure green places on the flower mountain. If it is in full bloom, it should be full of white flowers. Therefore, I sent the picture to the flower traveler and told my judgment. At the same time, I also told him that I must go to see it tomorrow.

The first time I set off at eight o'clock in the morning to climb the mountain in Fengyu. I set off so early today, and in addition to going to the land beam to enjoy the white juan plums, I also want to go to Fengde Temple to see the peony flowers.

The road was smooth, and at nine o'clock I arrived at the gate of the Pure Industry Temple. I saw a lot of people on the stone steps, some dressed up for climbing, and more dressed in casual clothes. I thought it might be the reason for the Qingming holiday, or maybe there was some activity in the temple. In previous years, in the middle of April, it can be said that there are more people here than on the streets of the city, and they are all from the city and surrounding districts and counties to see the white juanmei.

Today is in a good state, and I arrived at the Pure Industry Temple above in twenty minutes. Today's sky is very blue, and the sun shines on the spring buds and green all over the mountain, which is golden and green, which is really pleasing to the eye. When I looked up and saw the "Buddha" on the top of the hill behind the temple, the new green robe was so beautiful and imposing!

When I walked into the temple, I saw that there was only one flower on the white lilac tree, which seemed to tell me that the lilac had been here. I was shocked when I saw it, but in previous years, after seeing the white lilacs here, I went up the mountain to see the white cuckoo plum blossoms. It's a bad feeling to see this. Hurry up and leave the monastery and go up the mountain.

Along the way, I saw that the mountains were full of climbers. After learning that they were all going to the white juanmei in the mountains, I walked forward quickly. The first time I arrived at Wat Pho at half past ten, which means that I walked for only one and a half hours from the mountain gate of Pure Industry Temple on the highway to Wat Pho. At the Wat Pho Temple, I saw a lot of people who arrived earlier than me, and I wondered if they got up in the middle of the night? Because on the way up the mountain, I heard that two groups were from Tongchuan and Lintong.

I didn't rest again, all the way to the land beam.

I wanted to rush all the way, but I stopped halfway. On the beam above Wat Pho, it is clearly seen that on the highest mountain peak in the distance opposite, there are two peaks that are shining with silver. Upon closer identification, it turned out to be a staghorn beam and an ice crystal top. What surprised me even more was that I looked through the mountains and mountains, and vaguely saw the two electric poles on the top of the mountain, this Peugeot is too familiar, it is Bald Mountain.

The visibility today was fantastic. It was the first time I had an accurate view of Bald Mountain and Antler Beams with Ice Crystal Tops. "Exactly" is to hear in the past say that you have seen the top of ice crystals. However, today, after clearly seeing the bald mountain and the antler beam, the location of the ice crystal top is clear. It was a real surprise. Moreover, the continuous Qinling Mountains in the field of vision are all green and daisy, only the two peaks are covered with snow, which is very spectacular. So, I excitedly told the travelers: After this picture is taken, you can pretend to be XC.

I haven't even walked to the land beam, but I was surprised to see such a beautiful view. It looks like it's a really good day, and it's going to be a feast for the eyes.

Continue to go down to the top of the mountain, and before I reach the land beam, I can see a white cuckoo plum tree next to the mountain path in full bloom, and the flower spikes are very large. When I got closer, I saw that the flowers were large and white, the flower spikes were loose, and the petals were a little dry, and they were neither watery nor spiritual. I felt a little bad and blurted out: It's not good, it's a failure!

Many people behind him listened and said, "It's not all open, why did it fail?" and some people said: "It's a defeat, we're late." ”

said that he was not defeated, obviously it was the first time he saw the white juanmei.

I walked eagerly to the land beam with a fluke mentality. As soon as I walked to the head of the land, I saw the white flowers all over the mountains and fields rising in the green, blooming into a mountain of flowers, a sea of flowers, and the most beautiful scenery in Qinling at the moment. However, I also clearly noticed that the flowers were as lifeless as dried flowers. When I got closer, I saw almost all the white cuckoo plum blossoms, and some of the dehydrated petals were still wrinkled. That was because of the heavy rain that had fallen three days earlier. In other words, at least three days ago, the white cuckoo plum was already in full bloom.

Standing on the beam of the land, seeing the white juanmei full of crumpled and broken eyes, in addition to regret, I also felt that the weather this spring was too extreme. We came a week early, and it turned out to be late. I came as scheduled, without negative flowers, but the white juanmei almost failed me. Judging from this, is it possible that a month before the next year, we will have to set up camp and guard it?

I met a few familiar team leaders, and they also said to me, "In previous years, I came to see the white cuckoo plum in mid-April, but today I thought about the extreme weather, so I came to see it." It turned out to be a failure. ”

I also met a few travel friends who knew me, and they also said: "What the hell, I came so early, and I haven't caught up yet." ”

It seems that everyone is like me, who came to explore the flowers today, but saw that the flowers were leaving.

In fact, we just didn't see the most beautiful white cuckoo plum blossoms, which are on a bunch of flower spikes, the lower end is the petals of the white water spirit blooming, there are cracked small mouth half-open flowers in the middle, and there are three or two budding buds at the top, the flower spikes composed of these three states are blooming towards the blue sky, very dynamic, jumping on the branches like birds, which has the "juan" meaning of the white cuckoo plum.

Now, it is actually a veritable white silk plum, and the flowers are all silk white, smooth and delicate, a different kind of beauty, another kind of beauty. The alias of the white silk plum is also apt.

Besides, I have to be glad that I came today, according to the second week after Qingming in previous years, that is, next week, what I saw here was that I mistakenly thought that Bai Juan Mei had not come this year.

Therefore, the disappointment is also a moment, and the reality is quickly accepted and joined in the cheering crowd.

There were a lot of people coming today, and there was a lot of people, and there were crowds of people who were happy to take pictures. The mountain bag on the beam has also become a mountain of flowers today, and standing on the beam I saw that there were people everywhere in the flowers. The flow of people from the top of the mountain to the beam of the mountain is spectacular.

Today's weather is amazing, the sky is blue and the spring is bright. The sun shone brightly on the petals and green leaves of the white plum, as well as on our faces, and we felt very hot. The flowers love it, and the sun irons out the wrinkles of the wind and rain. At this time, the white cuckoo plum blossoms are so beautiful, they are all large petals upward, vigorous and vigorous. Although it looks like dried flowers, it is still very beautiful and spectacular.

Everyone said that it was beautiful, and many people said that the land beams did not look like a mountain, but like a big garden. This analogy is very accurate, on the kilometer-long mountain beam, from the top of the mountain to the valley, and from the valley up the slope to the top of another mountain, densely packed with all kinds of flowers, so overwhelming, is it not a real garden? Moreover, the white cuckoo plum is the first wild tree species in the high mountains to bloom in a large area every year. Then, it is true to say that the land beam at this moment is the most beautiful mountain beam in the Qinling Mountains.

Therefore, we are going to the feast that nature has laid in place here.

For six consecutive years, after the first lunar month, I thought about the white cuckoo plum on the land beam, just to come to the appointment.

However, the law of "watching white juan plums in the second week after Qingming" summed up by mountain climbers has become a legend this year.

In previous years, in the middle of the week, Xi'an and its surroundings, and even northern Shaanxi and other organizations came to watch the white cuckoo plum outdoor team, finally failed to bloom this year. Or maybe the flower banquet was ahead of schedule and couldn't catch up. We can only meet again next year.

Therefore, I almost missed it, and I feel even more lucky!

I went down the mountain and turned into Fengde Temple, but I saw that the big red peonies had completely opened and failed, and the withered petals were dark black and dried on the calyx.

It's really convinced, look at what you lose!

It seems that under the abnormal weather, everything has become unreasonable, and the rhythm of our flower viewing has completely disrupted. Then, in front of nature, plants should grow from time to time, but we stick to the rules, will we not lose the beautiful scenery.

A week later, on Saturday, I went to the land beam again, and all I saw was that there was no new greenery in sight. The white white plum that I saw last week is gone, as if it had never been there. The heavy rain for two consecutive days washed the fallen petals clean.

On the beam, I met some suburban counties who came to appreciate the white juanmei, and those climbers who took the SLR went down to the bottom of the ditch to take pictures of the sporadic late-blooming white juanmei. Judging from their lost faces, it can be judged that they must have seen the beams bloom in previous years. It was also the first time I had seen a flower admirer go down to a ditch.

So, seeing them like this, I kind of want to laugh. I feel that last week came in time, and I finally saw the flowers of this year's white plum. I think I'm still lucky. It's kind of living up to my heart.
