开花了！开花了！

种了快两年的富贵花一直都是处于营养不良的状态。维尼熊老是取笑呆呆熊竟然可以把本应肥硕粗壮的富贵花养成瘦瘦长长的富贵小树。

一向对花花草草没什么心得的呆呆熊，除了尽量定时浇水也不晓得该做什么。也许是为了奖励笨主人没有忘记了它的存在，富贵小树很努力的往上长并长出小小的花蕾。可惜正逢雨季，小小的花蕾禁不住风吹雨打而凋谢了。富贵小树也因此元气大伤。

最近富贵小树再一次很争气地长出小小的花蕾。虽然连续下了几天长命雨，可是富贵小树很厉害地在雨中开了第一朵花!!! \\(^_^)//

之前在金马伦见到这株兰花，当下觉得很漂亮。可惜回来后，一直都没找到这花的相关资料。

Gerbera

非洲菊花语：神秘、兴奋、亮丽
Gerbera ,also known as African Daisy, is one of the most common flower we see in florist shop besides carnations and roses.

Gerbera is a genus of the family of sunflower, daisy, and aster.

Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in light to dark yellow, orange, pink, brilliant scarlet, deep red, and many more colors. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum.

Gerbera has long vase life and wide range of colors, therefore Gerbera is widely use to decorate a room or garden.

Gerbera has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa, Madagascar, and tropical Asia Generally, Gerbera can be categorized into four groups:

• Single Flowers - Has a row of non-overlapping petals (ray florets) with a green center (disc florets)
• Double or duplex - Has a double row of overlapping petals with a green, black, or dark red eye.
• Crested doubles - Has two rows of overlapping petals with one or more inner rows of shorter petals with a green, black, or dark red eye.
• Full crested doubles - Has solid overlapping rows of petals with an inner row diminishing in size, covering the eye entirely.

木棉花

木棉花（Bombax ceiba 俗称 cotton tree）的花语是英雄之花，所以又名为英雄树。木棉花型大，有五个花瓣。除了橙红色，还有橙黄及其它颜色。

木棉花是先开花后长叶的植物。春天时，树上只长满花朵。夏天，树上满满的绿叶。

木棉花的花色鲜艳、生命力强、一般比附近的植物高。这也许就是为什麽西汉时期，木棉花被称之为烽火树的原因。

除了木棉树果实里的棉絮可用来作衣料；在中国广东一带，居民喜欢用木棉花作为汤料或把花晒干作成药，据闻可清热去湿。
