今天去shopping的时候，经过Smith & Hawken，看到有卖水仙花的球根，于是拿了几个，放到纸袋里去。
每年冬天的时候，爸爸都会种水仙花。下班的时候，他带回来仔细挑选过的球根，色泽褐亮，手感饱满。吃过晚饭以后，爸爸就开始整理球根，先是剥去表面褐色的外皮，然后用尖锐的刀片沿着鳞纹一点点地刻开，爸爸说这叫催芽，是很关键的一步，很需要耐心，不能误伤嫩芽。然后妈妈会拿出前年收存的各色各形的水仙花盆和鹅卵石，我倒入清水，爸爸把水仙花根小心翼翼地放进去。我们家的冬天才真正开始了。
爸爸严格调整着水仙花的日照时间，换水次数，这样新年的时候会有一批开放，然后春节的时候又有一批。水仙花在朝南的窗台上静静地沐浴着阳光，不需要施肥，只要清清的水，和灿烂的阳光。开放的时候，整个房间里都会清香扑鼻，特别是晚上开暖气的时候。我特别喜欢那种单层瓣的，简洁清雅，亭亭玉立，真地像凌波仙子一样，一尘不染。有时候我就痴痴地趴在水仙花边上，久久地闻着那清香。
今天看到那些褐色朴素的球根，忍不住又想起那些温暖清香的晚上，那些和爸爸妈妈在一起度过的冬天的假日，那朝南房间的灿烂阳光。
付钱的时候，花店的小伙子问我，你以前种过么，我点点头，但他还是很好心地给我装帧精美的种植指南。回来看了一下，他们不切割催芽的，但是提倡放一点酒精促生长，呵呵。
把水仙花的球茎一个个放进玻璃缸里，倒入清水的时候，很想家，水仙花开的时候，我要回去看爸爸妈妈。

我妈妈每年都养水仙花，最开心就是大年初一看到第一朵话开，淡淡的清香，很醉人心脾的。我喜欢复瓣的水仙花 ：）

看了你的水仙花， 真让我怀念过去跟父母一起过春节的日子。到美国以后， 每年春天都会看到各种各样的水仙花， 可都是种在地里的， 大部分都很好看， 只是味道截然不同， 还是喜欢中国水仙花的清香淡雅。落花的新照片就有一种水仙花的味道。:-)
BTW, I have a pot of 文竹, too. When it doesn't get enough indirect sunlight, it will become viny.

I have a pot of 文竹 at home too. :) As for hair, I highly recommend 负离子烫发。Not only is your hair easily manageable afterwards, but it dries much faster after washing so you can still have long hair. ;)

“文竹其实喜欢阴暗潮湿的吧“ zt. It sounds like a description about me nowadays , preferring 'dark, damp and dreary':). Seriously, if my memory serves me right, I think that asparagus setaceous actually can’t stand too much moisture, and it requires decent amount of light in order to grow healthily. It also can be very sensitive to the air quality of the room as well.
When I grew up and till today , my mother has been the one who has the green thumb in my household, she is very affectionate to grow house plants, especially those perennial flowery ones such as orchids, jasmine, lilies asparagus setaceous etc. My mother is exceptionally good at tending asparagus setaceous, she often deploys the techniques she learned from books or veteran gardeners and finds the best suitable spots in our house just to seat her “babies“ for them to grow lushly. Once, one pod of asparagus setaceous bloomed, its tiny little white flowers were perking out from the needle -thin leaves gave away distinct, delicate, and delightful fragrance which flowed in the air dreamily.
On the contrast, my father and I are complete clueless with plants. Time to time, I was the one who inflicted more harms then help. In fact, I remember , each time my mother put a blooming pot in my room with an aim to tone down the macho deco of my room and enlighten her son’s sense for beauty, it would often end with tragic endings. As the matter of fact, asparagus setaceous normally was first to go, because my room used to litter with dirty socks and other unmentionable clothes , that was how I know asparagus setaceous was kind of susceptible to the excessive emissions from both my electronic video gaming components and my dirty garmentsL. For save her plants and her son, my poor mother would come in my room, opening windows, pulling up the drapes, letting light in and nagging me to pick up my dirty clothes and shoes and put them the laundry hamper when she got a chance. Still, only matter of time, I had to apology to the demised plants, of course, plead to my mother for her forgiveness L. For all my chronicle bad behaviors, my mother seems never to be deterred to stop putting plants in my room as long as I can remember. Last winter when I went back home for vaca, I saw a pot of luxuriant asparagus setaceous sitting quietly on the desk in my room showered with soft morning sunlight through the window panes along with posters, comic books, remote control toys, music instruments, video game gears, trophies and cds … But, this time around, it no longer looked odd anymore, the flower pot actually blended in pretty well with the fixtures in my boyish room.
Hope your narcissus bulbs doing well to provide you with some comfort of home far away from home.

谢谢狼mm安慰。我以前一直是长头发，微卷的，作了住院医生以后剪掉了，实在没时间打理。还是短头发精神方便。现在习惯了短头发，稍微长一点就要去剪。其实短头发可以很好看的，乡下小镇，水平不行啊。哎哎哎

抱抱抱抱，安慰安慰！
老美的剪发技术实在不敢恭维。
我的头发跟你一样也是短发（和PP里的一样）。几乎3个月就要剪一次，剪的不好心里很气愤。
今年暑假回上海，我烫了头发，他们把这叫“定型”---用最大的卷发器，只烫很短的时间。放下后，头发有点自然卷，很服帖，也很好打理。而且稍稍长点的话，也很好看。
你明年回去的时候可以试试。
再次安慰妹妹！

出去剪头发回来了，这次换了地方，剪得很不好，郁闷！
狼mm，很高兴能够分享水仙花的回忆，我以前也养文竹，现在美国的书桌上也有一棵类似的。如果我没记错的话，文竹其实喜欢阴暗潮湿的吧。
照片是google来得，不好意思侵犯版权了，不知道是谁拍的阿。还好我也不是商业用途，希望原照片作者不要找我打官司，呵呵。
四月风mm好，我在搜索水仙花照片的时候看到欧洲的有地方大片大片地种植水仙花，别有一番景色。

看了照片，读了美文，都好像闻到了水仙花的清香。
又换新照片了！越来越漂亮了。

我也喜欢水仙的洁白挺拔，淡雅幽香。
国内的时候，我爸爸和“落花飘零”的爸爸一样，过年的时候必定种植。每串出一束花苞，全家人都兴奋异常，然后时时刻刻等待它开花。
平时我老爸还喜欢养文竹。文竹的香更淡，也更不好养。
唉，上海的湿冷天气对养花养草都是挑战。
