I once thought that gathering a crowd of beauties at home was like having three thousand palace ladies in the harem!
When all kinds of beauties appeared in my lonely world, life became colorful and diverse from then on!
But things turned out contrary to my wishes. I thought I was the emperor, but in reality I was a servant.
A servant's life means constantly thinking about the beauties' food, clothing, and daily routine. The moment I open my eyes, I enter labor mode. Where did my time go?...Morning greetings, attachment at sunset, hope on sunny days, tender care on rainy days, all imperceptibly became habit...
Our lovely beauties, they have small statures and delicate bodies. They fear rain in spring, heat in summer, frost in autumn, and wind and snow in winter. They need a careful and gentle family member to take care of them.Nowadays I cannot even avoid favoring them all equally. Whenever there is slightly heavier rain, I have to carry them pot by pot, ignoring that I am soaked all over, already like a drenched chicken. Alas, as a servant, I carefully wait on the succulent beauties...Of course, a servant's life is also like opening a door: there are gains after putting in effort, disappointment from laboring without reward, and surprises from unintended efforts, just like all doors in life...Just like every time I take photos, I am ecstatic!I think to myself: this is probably the most beautiful moment! But inadvertently, they bring me another wave of surprises! So beautiful!But we are always born for joy, not to live for sorrow. After all kinds of ups and downs, once the heart becomes calm, things gradually enter a better state...
I have always felt that Peach Egg is a delicate beauty who makes people feel tender affection. Facing her, I unconsciously develop a sense of inferiority.I feel that I am not worthy of her, and I fear that if I fail to care for her well, she will suffer. If I married such a woman, I wonder what it would feel like?White Beauty is very special, like a reclusive master with a style and character all her own. Looking at her, I think of Zhuo Wenjun's bold and free-spirited lines: "I heard you have two hearts, so I have come to break with you decisively."Flower Moon Night? In my eyes, she is a true woman. Beautiful! Her genes are so strong they astonish you.Last year she still had no notable coloring. Once these red tips appear, who can compete?
Butterfly Dance has a lower appearance rate because her condition is average. Not just lower, it is quite low.But I could not withstand her soft and persistent coaxing. pitifully she said to me:Let me appear once and make my presence known. I have been home for more than a year, and no one even knows I exist.Am I such a heartless master? Approved! Actually, I am more afraid that she will pout her little mouth and say to me with a resentful look: Back when we used to look at the moon, you called me little sweetie Butterfly Dance, and now that new favorites have surpassed the old, you call me Jade Pendant Bell!Dancing Maiden, I admire your tall, slender form. Could it be that in the succulent world, your tall elegance also makes other succulents wildly envious~A group of dolphins is playing. The kawaii succulent plant leaping from the sea surface is scientifically called "Senecio peregrinus." Its round, plump leaves look like a group of dolphins leaping out of the sea, very adorable.Even better, the longer the vine grows, the more the leaves look like dolphins! Such a cute thing not only makes the harem livelier, but also catches me off guard with its cuteness every day.Do not overlook the tiny pot-covering grasses. They are great artists in the use of color: green Sedum lineare; yellow Sedum makinoi; Hidaka with red edges; blue Sedum hispanicum; blood-red Rose Ball...I scattered a few small plants, hoping that before long they will weave a colorful carpet, a feast for the eyes~The busiest one is this pot of Purple Card mama!! While sending up flower stalks, she is also carrying pups! The pups have already stretched mama out of shape!! An East African Rift Valley has appeared!!!So everyone should love their own mama! Mama sacrificed her own youthful beauty to bring us into this world!Their condition is average in summer. I leave them a lovely image. Not to say they are graceful in every way, but they can only show a little beauty, giving a feeling that all the beauties of the six palaces have lost their cosmetics...Actually, summer is not that scary. As long as you control your hands and care more, I believe that when the weather turns cool, the succulents will be even more beautiful.
