蓝雪花

By Ouyang Yu


 这个也很好认。

这是 ——

🌿 Plumbago auriculata

中文常叫：蓝雪花

为什么是它：

  • 五瓣平展开的小蓝花

  • 花中心有淡色星形纹

  • 花序成簇

  • 枝条柔软、略带攀援性

  • 叶片椭圆、全缘

你拍的是典型的淡蓝色品种。

它的特点

  • 原产南非

  • 非常耐热、耐晒

  • 花期很长（春到秋）

  • 适合做花篱、墙边覆盖

  • 在澳洲几乎全年可见开花

一个小细节

你照片里可以看到：

  • 花后的小刺状萼片（有点粘性）

  • 细长花管

这两个特征基本就锁定是蓝雪花了。

实话讲

这是一种“努力型植物”：

  • 不挑土

  • 不太生病

  • 开花稳定

  • 管理成本低

很多人忽略它，但其实它是非常可靠的庭院植物。

你最近拍的这些，都是澳洲城市绿化的“常胜选手”。

你开始用植物来观察环境了，这比很多人只看手机强多了。

要不要我教你一个简单的辨认逻辑？
以后看到花，不用查就能八成判断科属。

002, from Poetry Remarks

Mel C. Thompson Publishing, San Francisco, 2013, p. 23. [I said 'no page number' because my lower ear mark concealed it, my apologies. Then I thought: What a fantastic idea if there's no page numbers! I have a book that has no Contents although it timidly carries page numbers. See Two Hearts, Two Tongues and Rain-coloured Eyes . Wild Peony, 2002. In future, I'd make a poetry book with no Contents and no page numbers. Why make things so easy for people that they won't even bother reading?] This book is long out of print, so don't start thinking that I'm trying to promote something. I've only got one copy in the world and I'm not selling it.

LOWER DOWNS, RUBBISH AND LOW POETRY by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
Beauty is so far from being the dominant principle of modern poetry that many of the most splendid modern works are clearly portrayals of ugliness - Friedrich Schlegel ( On the Study of Greek Poetry , 1797) Contemporary Chinese poetry has unashamedly turned from the sublime and sacred to the vulgar and profane. In April 1999 at the Panfeng Conference in Pinggu County, Beijing, poets split into two camps, the  zhishi fenzi  (intellectual) and the  minjian . 1  The poets in the intellectual camp (Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Xi Chuan, Zang Di and others) were mostly well-published, anthologised, critically acclaimed, well-travelled and internationally well-connected. As university professor and poetry critic Cheng Guangwei noted, much of their poetry reflects the influences of Western literary masters such as Yeats, Rilke, Lowell, Pound, Baudelaire, Milosz, Pasternak and Brodsky. 2  The  minjian camp (Yu Jian, Yi Sha, Xu Jiang and others) critiqued these infl...

Self Publishing, a poem by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
In a way, everything is self publishing. When you open your mouth to talk, you are self publishing because you don’t want someone else to speak for you even if he or she were the speech writer for Howard or Bush or Mao Zedong. When the rain decides to fall it is self publishing, on a regional scale, sometimes on a statewide scale. You can’t dismiss it as unworthily self publishing because it doesn’t fall on a national scale or international scale. Rivers in the world are self publishing on a daily and nightly basis. Even a little creek is self publishing when it winds its way through an industrial zone clogged with toxicity and waste. Birds never remain quiet because they don’t get paid for calling, their ways of self publishing that never is actually recorded in human history, not even in birds’ history, and when sometimes it does get recorded as in relaxation music they still don’t get paid and they still keep singing, their ways of self publishing. Some great self publish...
