Every May in the lunar calendar, the Dragon Boat Festival arrives. The love for the festival seems not to be the temptation of special delicacies, but the deep emotions entwined within. During the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother would wrap zongzi with glutinous rice, and the plant used to tie the zongzi is called the iris grass.
The climate in the frontier regions is relatively cold and dry, so delicate flowers do not grow here. Common plants are only some cold and drought-resistant plants like poplars and elms, making the whole spring feel bone-chilling and desolate.
There are no flowers blooming, willows swaying, or grasses growing and birds singing in the early spring here. When you truly feel the warmth coming, the late spring has quietly arrived.
The spring breeze caresses the face, and a light rain gently falls. Spring finally leaves its tenderness at the end of the season, to leave the most appropriate memories of the years. When the first warmth gently knocks on the door of the season, the iris grass eagerly wakes up from the winter's deep sleep and stands in the field and river embankments. Its naive and innocent appearance resembles the image of youth, so lush, shy, and slightly tinged with a hint of melancholy.
The iris grass is a perennial herbaceous plant, so it does not need to be planted specially. Its vitality is strong, and it has no requirements for terrain and soil quality. Therefore, as spring approaches, the iris grass breaks through the soil, welcoming the arrival of spring. The leaves of the iris grass are very resilient, usually growing into a long, sword-like shape, about 1 meter or more.
When the iris grass first grows, the leaves are a tender green. Over time, they gradually turn into dark green and gray-green. Every early summer, the iris grass will bloom small淡 purple flowers, which are very beautiful. Although there are no bees and butterflies during this season here, it does not affect the blooming of the flowers. These delicate flowers embody the traces of time flowing, showing their love for the season in their own favorite way.
I have a special fondness for iris flowers because I like that淡 purple color, which is romantic and slightly melancholic. Iris flowers bloom alone in the neglected corners, without the applause of others or the favor of bees and butterflies, but they still show their love for spring and joy for life. It is a simplicity and elegance from the bottom of the heart, a kind of indifferent and calm grace.
I remember when I was a child, I watched the movie "Iris Flower," and there was a classic line that I still remember. "Iris flower, iris flower, the wind and rain don't scare, the hardworking people sing about it, please bloom now." Although I have forgotten the movie scenes, the iris flower that sings about diligence and life remains deeply imprinted in my memory. It was not until I grew up that I learned from my mother that the iris flower is actually the ordinary iris flower I see every day. From then on, I developed a admiration for the iris grass and seemed to like those ordinary淡 purple flowers even more.
The autumn breeze brings coolness and the joy of harvest. In autumn, the iris grass changes from deep green to brown-green, which is the dressing after the seasonal洗礼 and the most substantial reward of the years. At this time, my mother would harvest and bundle the iris grass, drying it under the eaves, waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother would prepare all the ingredients needed for wrapping zongzi. She would soak the iris grass hanging under the eaves in hot water, waiting to tie the zongzi. My mother's hands are very skillful. I saw the zongzi leaves flipping up and down, and the iris grass intertwining left and right. Before long, a distinct and uniquely shaped zongzi appeared in front of my eyes. When the zongzi tied with iris grass boils in the boiling pot, the unique fragrance of the plant fills the air. It is the warm memory of childhood and the taste of happiness in life.
I like this elegant and fresh iris flower, and I like even more the warm memories in the quiet good times of life. I wish these beautiful memories shine brightly in the depth of time, full of greenery.
The above sharing about the iris flower language and the symbolism and representation of iris flowers is for everyone's reference.
