Chapter 21: Drunken Butterfly Flower

After going back, Luo Tong was too lazy to start a gang, and it happened that there were still biscuits at home, so Luo Tong went to the kitchen to boil water, and prepared to eat some biscuits with boiling water for a while. As for Luo Xiaotang, there is cat food anyway, and I can't be hungry for it.

After the water boiled, Luo Tong poured a cup of hot water and sat down on the sofa in the living room, and when he was about to eat, someone knocked on the door. Luo Tong put down the quilt and looked at it from the cat's eye, it was Sheng Qiwu.

Luo Tong opened the door, and Sheng Qiwu was holding a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in his hand, which was also decorated with some green onions, red, green and green, which was extremely attractive. Luo Tong's stomach screamed angrily, and Luo Tong's face turned red at that time.

Sheng Qiwu knew that she was easy to be shy, and he didn't tease her, so he handed her the bowl. In these few contacts, he already knew that Luo Tong was not good at cooking. Therefore, when the noodles were just cooked, Sheng Qiwu deliberately made more. Doesn't it mean that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach? I think this principle is also common to women.

Luo Tong didn't refuse again, mainly because it was too fragrant, and she was really hungry. Seeing Luo Tong take the face, Sheng Qiwu turned around and went back.

Considering that he ordered to eat a lot of food, Sheng Qiwu didn't give much, and Luo Tong was just seventy percent full after eating. After washing the dishes, Luo Tong plans to return it to Sheng Qiwu tomorrow. She didn't dare to knock on the door casually now, for fear that she would encounter something embarrassing like last time.

Cosmos and drunken butterfly flowers are planted for the first time, and there are not many in the flower garden. Because Luo Tong would go over every week to nourish with abilities, these cosmos and drunken butterfly flowers grew well.

In order to better understand these flowers, Luo Tong deliberately checked some information after eating noodles in order to introduce them to customers.

Cosmos is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant that stands 1-2 meters tall. The roots are spindle-shaped, fibrous roots, or adventitious roots near the base of the stem. The stems are glabrous or slightly pubescent. The leaves are secondary pinnate and deeply lobed, and the lobes are linear or filamentous. The inflorescence is solitary, 3-6 cm in diameter, and the peduncle is 6-18 cm long. The outer bracts are lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, nearly leathery, pale green, with dark purple stripes, the upper end is long and narrow, equal to the inner layer and the inner layer, 10-15 mm long, the inner layer is elliptic-ovate, membranous. The trays are flattened, the upper ends are filamentous, and the achenes are nearly equal in length.

Cosmos is divided into tongue-like flowers and tubular flowers, tongue-like flowers purplish-red, pink or white, tongue elliptic-obovate, 2-3 cm long, 1.2-1.8 cm wide, with 3-5 obtuse teeth, tubular flowers yellow, 6-8 mm long, short tubes, cylindrical above, with lanceolate lobes, columella with short aptitudes.

Cosmos has white-flowered cosmos, large-flowered cosmos, purple-saffron cosmos, horticultural varieties are divided into two major systems: early flowering type and late flowering type, as well as single and double petals. Most of the plants in the Luotong flower garden this time are early flowering types, so they are listed earlier and can seize the market more.

The peduncle of the drunken butterfly flower is long and strong, the racemes form a lush flower ball, the flower shape is beautiful and chic, the petals are reunited like a fan, the stamens are prominent like claws, the shape is like a butterfly flying, the flower color is delicate, the first is pink and white, the second turns to pink, and then turns purple red, a flower is multi-colored, and has a nectar gland, often makes the butterfly intoxicated, hence the name.

The long stamens protrude beyond the corolla, resembling a spider and a dragon's whiskers, which is quite interesting. When the butterfly flower opens, the petals slowly open, and the long claws bend to pop out of the flower, like a movie slowing down in fast motion.

Blooming in the evening and withering during the day the next day, this flower can be described as the flower of the summer night, and its short life gives people a sense of impermanence. And this flower is thanked in one day, and the taste is not very good, so it is not suitable for cutting it out to make flower arrangement.

There are three mysteries of the Drunken Butterfly Flower, the Drunken Butterfly Flower is like a fluttering butterfly, attracting bees to collect honey. Although the smell of the flowers is not good, it is an excellent source of nectar, which is one of the mysteries.

The drunken butterfly blooms on summer nights and blooms for a very short time, like an extended version of a flash in the pan. This is mystery number two.

The buds on the inflorescence of the drunken saucer flower are all open from the inside to the outside, and the flower color changes self-consciously, first light white to light red, then light red to light purple, and finally pink and white, very charming, people are amazed, often make the flying butterfly intoxicated, hence the name. This is the third mystery number, like a chameleon.

When Luo Tong took over the flower garden, he was very interested in drunken butterfly flowers, and specially planted some in the flower garden. If the drunken butterfly flower is popular this time, Luo Tong will think about planting some more.

Luo Tong was also very tired today, and he was busy all the time, and Luo Tong, who was leaning on the head of the bed, fell asleep unconsciously...

The early morning sun shone into the room through the curtains and sprinkled on Luo Tong's face, Luo Tong turned over in a daze, pulled the quilt to his head to block the summer sun, and Luo Xiaocheng next to him did the same, followed by a change of posture, and continued to sleep.

Half an hour later, Luo Tong sat up from the bed suddenly, what time was it? Looking at the bright sky outside, Luo Tong glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already half past seven. Luo Tong exclaimed, ran up and washed up, it was a little late today, so I had to hurry up. Luo Xiaocheng, who was shocked by Luo Tong's movements, stretched calmly and jumped off the bed.

Luo Tong played exceptionally well today, and it only took ten minutes to be all busy. She rushed out of the bathroom in a hurry, packed up her things haphazardly, picked up Luo Xiaotang, who was licking her hair on the ground, and rushed to the door.

The elevator never came, and Luo Tong didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so he rushed to the stairwell instead, so he missed it. The next second she entered the stairwell, Sheng Qiwu walked out of the elevator, carrying a breakfast and some vegetables.

Sheng Qiwu had just come out of the elevator, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure running into the stairwell, looking like Luo Tong. Sheng Qiwu didn't care, walked to 901 and rang the doorbell, and after pressing it twice, there was no response, Sheng Qiwu shook his head and went back.

When going down the stairs, Luo Tong was not in such a hurry, let's be a little later, it is estimated that there is nothing to do today. Thinking like this, Luo Tong's pace slowed down. Luo Xiaocheng has been staying in Luo Tong's arms, and seeing that the shovel officer is not impatient, Luo Xiaocheng jumped down and followed Luo Tong step by step.

Arriving at the green field, Luo Tong carefully trimmed the drunken butterfly flowers and cosmos sent over last night, Sheng Qiwu and Uncle Chen were there yesterday, and she was not good at nourishing these flowers and plants with her abilities in front of them, but fortunately, it was not too late to do it now.

Luo Tong moved the cosmos and drunken butterfly flowers to the door of the green field shop, and the cosmos nourished by the ability were full of vitality, and the flowers were colorful, including passionate red, bright orange yellow, and elegant white, which made people feel happy to see.

As soon as it was put out, it attracted the attention of many people, and the flowering season of cosmos has not yet arrived, but the old customers in the store know that Luotong's flowers and plants can always be listed in advance of others. And the flowers and plants that come out of the green field are more beautiful and easier to survive, and there are few sick ones.

That's it, Green Field's reputation is getting better and better, can it be bad? Luo Tong has to use his abilities to cultivate the flowers and plants in the store every day, and before selling, he has to carefully inspect them.

Sure enough, not long after it was put out, a few pots of cosmos were sold, but no one cared about the drunken butterfly flowers.
