People who love growing flowers are worth cherishing. Do you have someone like that around you?

A couple of days ago, Huahua's guy friend asked Huahua:

"Huahua, lately I've taken a fancy to one of my coworkers. She doesn't stand out much at our company, and I never see her at gatherings. But she seems to really love growing flowers. She's the one who takes care of all the greenery at the office, and I hear she has quite a few potted plants at home too. Do you think a girl like that might be kind of a loner?"

I think my guy friend's thinking is the same as most people's. These days, times are changing so fast, and everyone is crazy about social media. Young people especially, busy making a living and rushing around every day, carry enormous pressure. Just getting their work done is hard enough, so how would they have spare energy to devote to plants?

But people who love growing flowers really aren't odd in personality. On the contrary, they are kinder, more attentive and more diligent than the vast majority of people. If you have someone around you who loves growing flowers, be sure to cherish them.

The more seriously someone treats the lives of plants, the more devoted they are to love

When Huahua was little, she lived in an old-style house with a courtyard, and the garden in front could be used by the residents themselves. Some people let the land go to waste and weeds grow; some people filled in the courtyard and widened the path in front. But Huahua's neighbor, Sister Xiaoling, tended her courtyard carefully every day and turned it into a well-laid-out little garden.

Back then, Huahua envied the flowers growing in Sister Xiaoling's courtyard, thinking they must be the happiest flowers in the world to receive such careful care from Sister Xiaoling. So Huahua often ran over to Sister Xiaoling's courtyard to play, and learned quite a bit about growing flowers from her too.

Seasons came and went, and Sister Xiaoling cared for the courtyard day after day. One day she worried the plum rains would drown the flowers, the next she feared the scorching sun would burn the greenery. Everyone thought Xiaoling was too anxious about the lives of these plants, and even Huahua began to think Sister Xiaoling was overly worried.

Only then did Sister Xiaoling tell Huahua her story. It turned out that at first, Xiaoling had also found tending the courtyard too much trouble. It was her boyfriend, who was in the military, who, when he came home on leave, tidied up the courtyard together with her, weeding, planting flowers, taking cuttings, and the two of them even planted a small sapling.

When he was about to leave, Sister Xiaoling's boyfriend said to her: "This time I'm going to guard the border, and I won't be back for three years. If you hold me in your heart, take good care of this courtyard. If you fall in love with someone else, there's no need to tend them anymore, and that way when I return I'll understand how you feel."

After hearing Sister Xiaoling's story, Huahua was already in tears, and she finally understood why Sister Xiaoling cared so much about the lives of these plants. The border is bitterly cold, and Sister Xiaoling had lost contact with her boyfriend; all she could do was care for this courtyard to express her longing for him...

And now, after his retirement from service, brother-in-law and Sister Xiaoling grow flowers and plants together, and the little tree they planted back then has long since grown tall.

You see, for someone who loves growing flowers, her attitude toward the lives of plants is her attitude toward love.

People who love growing flowers have an extra measure of attentiveness

Huahua has always felt that people who love growing flowers are surely very careful about life, about themselves and about others.

Huahua's grandmother has been growing flowers for nearly thirty years. Before she retired, she was a surgeon, and over decades of practice she never once made a mistake at work. She was a famous doctor at the hospital.

That attentiveness of hers came from growing flowers.

A petal slightly wilted? Not acceptable. A leaf a bit dry and shriveled? Also not acceptable. In Grandma's mind, growing flowers is like diagnosing a patient, and you can't be the least bit careless. Grandma often told Huahua:

"A doctor faces partings and deaths every day, and it's actually easy to become numb, often losing clarity on whether you're truly doing everything you can to save people. But then I think: I'm so devoted to and passionate about plants that I'm willing to put in the energy and time to care for them meticulously, and so I won't doubt my sincerity and attitude toward my patients either."

Grandma's words have always influenced Huahua. People who love plants are bound to live more carefully and earnestly than ordinary people. Because in their eyes, attentiveness isn't just a personality trait, it's a sense of responsibility.

People who love growing flowers are more calm and cultivated

A reader once left a message for Huahua in the backend:

"Huahua, a good friend of mine keeps asking me why people say I have more presence than she does, and whether I secretly took some etiquette course behind her back. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I told her no, but she doesn't believe me. I'm not trying to show off, and it's actually troubling me..."

To help this reader solve her confusion, Huahua found her posts on the Yanghua Daquan app, and after looking for a long while, finally understood.

This flower-loving friend not only loves growing flowers and greenery, but also goes to a flower arrangement class every week, arranging fresh flowers exquisitely and beautifully. Huahua thinks this is probably why she is more cultivated and has more presence than her friend.

In the heart of someone who loves growing flowers, there is the calm of green, the elegance of pink, the gentleness of yellow, the purity of white. Tell me, how could such a person not be lovable?
