What Is a Man Who Grows Orchids Like? Let's Hear What Women Think
Zhejiang grass, Maqiao He Su, Tianmu He Su is indeed an ordinary, extremely common plain-centered variety, and by no means counts as a lotus-form plain-centered one. Tianmu He Su is a speckled-shell plain-centered type -- the shoots carry a red blush.
I haven't been growing plants for long, but I've gotten to know quite a few men who love growing them. I have a lot of feelings about it. Women mostly have plenty of complaints about men who grow plants. But if you ask me, in today's flashy world, a man who grows plants is as rare as a panda! Unmarried girls might consider finding a boy who likes flowers and plants and marrying him, and a married woman who has a man who likes flowers and plants is truly blessed! Don't believe me?? Just hear me out...
Men's carelessness sometimes makes you want to chop them with a knife, and this is practically a common failing of men. But what about a man who grows plants? He can clearly tell you how many pots of plants he has, what kinds they all are, how many shoots and how many flower buds each pot has, and he even knows how many leaves there are and how long the leaves are. Over time, this forms the habit of being attentive to other things too. Watching him obediently fuss over those two pots of plants, counting leaves and counting flowers, with such care and seriousness -- who would have the heart to disturb him at a time like that? Compared with a man who stays out until the middle of the night addicted to playing mahjong, this is a world of difference. The reason I compare him to a man who loves mahjong is that a man who loves plants rarely has time to sit at the mahjong table; he has to look at his plants, water the plants, pot them up, repot them, take photos...
A man who grows plants is willing to do some housework, washing clothes, cooking, looking after the kids... the woman pretty much just gets to enjoy herself. Isn't a homemaking man good? He carefully hangs the laundry out to dry and mockingly says it's to increase the humidity for his plants. When the woman goes out, she can completely relax leaving the child with him; no need to worry that he'll only care about his two lousy plants. If he treasures even lifeless plants like precious jewels, how could he not love a truly precious treasure? How reassuring!
On weekends, besides fiddling with his two lousy plants, he will patiently accompany the woman shopping, getting her hair done. Even if it's not that he enjoys it so much, at least he is very willing to please her. The woman may not know that when he is chatting enthusiastically, the moment she gives the order, he immediately says he's off to go shopping with his wife -- doesn't that move you? He is willing even if it takes ages, because he can chat about plants with his orchid friends on his phone anyway, and it doesn't matter where he chats. Even the toilet is fine!
Of course, sometimes it can be quite embarrassing. Strolling in the park or climbing a mountain should be a very romantic thing, but he might carry a lousy bag and pick up tree bark and such, which is really maddening! Don't feel too bad about it either -- what's shameful about a bit of labor? Maybe he happens to save a little money on potting medium and buys you an outfit or cosmetics you wouldn't bear to buy for yourself for your wedding anniversary or birthday!
The biggest downside is, in the woman's eyes, spending money on plants, which seems wasteful. This is understandable too, because much of it is pocket money he has saved by cutting back on cigarettes, alcohol, food and clothing, so isn't that killing several birds with one stone? As long as he isn't squandering without restraint, even if sometimes you know that the price he told you for a newly bought plant is more than what he actually said, just turn a blind eye to it. Money can hardly buy happiness and harmony! What's more, he isn't buying plants to the point of selling off the pots and pans. If it were like that, no one would support it.
So you see, a man who grows plants is basically a very well-behaved character at home. When he plants and repots, if he makes the floor very dirty, he will clean it up, and while he's at it he'll tidy up any other spots in the house that bother him. Of course, this isn't to say that just because a man grows plants he should be obeyed in everything. Growing flowers and plants is originally an elegant pursuit that cultivates character. Sometimes the behavior is a bit hard for ordinary people to understand, but you can only say that everyone has their odd quirks. As long as you make a comparison, you can let it go with a smile. He hardly touches eating, drinking, whoring or gambling; he just grows a few plants to add a bit of life to the home -- what's wrong with that?
