前不久,我忽然迷上种花,有一次,我打电话问一个行家,她在电话里说:“哦,矮牵牛啊!记得要摘心那,愈摘,花发得愈好。”其实,那番道理我早就懂,只是她是一个美丽慧黠的女孩,听她这么说,简直像听人说法似的,处处禅机。我想起小时候在屏东,院子里种有木瓜,木瓜正发得兴头,冷不防我们小孩就把它的头摘掉了,再发,再摘。摘两下,木瓜就变聪明了,它知道还是赶快向旁发展为妙。鲜艳的矮牵牛花也是如此,我们把直往上冲的花心摘了,结果反而促使它从旁边发出四五枝分干来,生物的本能似乎是愈挫愈勇的。 Not long ago, I suddenly fell in love with flowers, once I called to ask an expert, she said on the phone: “Oh, Petunia ah! Remember to pick it, the more plucked, the better the hair.” In fact, that reason I already understand, but she is a beautiful girl, listen to her, just like listening to people like saying, everywhere Zen. I remembered a young man in Pingtung, the yard planted with papaya, papaya is thriving, not cold our children put it off the head, and then send and pick. To pick two, papaya becomes smart, and it knows that it is better to move on. The same applies to the bright petunia. When we pick up the flowers we are going to push up, the result forces us to send forth four or five branches from the side. The biological instinct seems to be getting stronger and harder.
