Flowers

I love flowers. My favorite flowers are roses and jasmines. Mostly, I like flowers which are soft and gentle. The smell of flowers makes me fresh. Since I was in primary school, I usually put flowers on my head when I went to school. I usually wore jasmines, roses and orchids. I had a very funny story about my flowers which I wore.

As my maid knew that I loved flowers, she always bought roses or jasmines for me. In grade 1, I usually wore flowers the whole day in my school. After the school, I usually kept it in the big box that my mom bought it for me. Day by day, my flowers were drying. However, as I put a flower every day, half of my flowers were dried, but half were not. A month later, my box smelled very bad. All flowers did not smell like they used to. Moreover, there were some insects in my box eating my flowers. I shouted and cried, showing my box to my mom. I cried and kept saying like “they are eating my flowers... they are eating my flowers”. I did not stop crying for the whole evening. Thus, my mom told me to close the box and said that I would see very beautiful fresh flower tomorrow morning if I let them eat my flowers tonight. Then, I stopped crying and went to bed hugging that box.

In the morning, I was so excited because I was going to see the fresh flowers. I ran to my parents’ room because I wanted to share my excitement with them. While opening the box, my hands were shaking. When I opened my box, I shouted. There were a lot of roses and jasmines which were very fresh in my box. I ran around the house and showed my flowers to everyone. When I went to school that morning, I chose white rose from my box and wore it on my head delightfully. When I got older, I realized that dried flowers can’t be fresh flowers again eaten by some insects. This was my mom who changed from dried flowers to fresh ones. I still thank to my mom doing that to me every months when I was very young.

I have another bad habit that I do when I see flowers. I love juice from flowers. If the flowers are very fresh, they have juice. Especially, if we go get flowers from garden, flowers are so juicy. When I went to park with my family, I could not stick with my family but with flowers. I went near flowers and looked at the pollens carefully. Then I pulled out the pollen grain and sucked the juice from pollen tube. I thought it was so delicious because it tasted sweet. My mom didn’t like me doing that. She said it was dirty. I still like drinking juice from flowers although I kicked that habit.

I still love flowers a lot. If I get a bunch of flowers as a present, I am usually as happy as a child. When I see flowers now, I remember my funny memory and feel like drinking juice from flowers. As my name means ‘a white flower was bloomed’, I am a flower too.
