Lentinus edodes blooms

Lentinus edodes, also known as South American Polygonum cuspidatum, money lotus, water money and money grass, is more commonly known as money grass, which is named because its leaves are shaped like round ancient copper coins, and is often endowed with the beautiful meaning of rolling financial resources.

I've seen the copperhead blossom, and I always think it's just a bunch of small yellow-green flowers. I've never bent down to make a good study and observation, until the copperhead at home recently pulled out two or three inflorescences, and when I was washing clothes on the balcony in the morning, I suddenly wanted to take some photos for her.

I took out my mobile phone and fiddled with it for a long time. I zoomed it in and focused it. Only then did I observe that the little flower of the copper grass was so beautiful! The umbel gradually opens from bottom to top. The small white flower slightly larger than the yellow millet has five petals, and the pistil with a round flower head is dotted between the petals, which is covered with full yellow anthers. In the middle of the flower, there seems to be a green stigma or stamen, and there seems to be honey juice on it. It is very similar because this small circle of green and yellow anthers makes the whole flower look like yellow-green. This color matching has to be said to be very advanced.

Every little flower looks like a beautiful beaded flower on a woman's head in ancient times, except that this flower is a mini version. Because it is so tiny, it is easy to be overlooked, so that we always look at its green and round leaves and ignore this hidden beauty.

The same is true of some people and things in life. In fact, they are in their own position, but we, who have long been impetuous by the pace of life, rarely have the mood to stop and observe carefully, so we miss many beautiful fireworks. Everyone is moving forward, but sometimes we might as well stop, take a closer look and even explore some subtle places, and maybe we will get good results.

good wishes!
