新加坡南洋理工大学赏野花 Head outdoors for the wildflowers in NTU, Singapore

疫情阻断措施让我们有机会见到大自然最璀璨的一面。明天,新加坡第二阶段解封将展开,到时候,野草野花又将消失在割草工友工具的爪牙中。

这段不能在商场欢聚、街上欢歌,但可以走入绿林,拥抱大自然、运动让汗水挥洒的日子里,你是否和我一样,为了能与儿时玩伴,——那些野花野草们重逢而欢欣?


These days wild flowers are few. Most have long since cut, or built on. To see nature at its most dazzling, we sometimes have to lock down.

Nature has the best displays. During the pandemic, wildflowers are flourish in the landscape. My eyes are spoilt, with exciting new growth everywhere.

Though we'll soon see them disappear from the city, grab the last chance, engage yourself in greenery, and have joy admiring wildflowers.



1. 漂亮剧毒——最爱藿香蓟  Beautiful but poisonous, my favorite White Weed


 


中文名:藿香蓟
别名:胜红蓟、一枝香、咸虾花、毛麝香、蝶子草、南风草、柳仔黃、白花草、白花臭草
Common name: White Weed / Billygoat Weed
Scientific name: Ageratum conyzoides


阻断措施期间,遇见遍地盛开的藿香蓟最快乐。她淡雅漂亮,还有着诗情画意的别名,蝶子草和南风草。

藿香蓟是菊科藿香蓟属,原产于美洲热带地区的一年生草本植物,误食会肝中毒。“由多朵细小的管状花聚生而成。披白色柔毛,揉碎后有異臭(连结:香港野花网) 香臭因人而异。我不乐意揉碎这蝶子草、南风草,我宁可相信她带香呢。

藿香蓟是中医药用植物,能治感冒发热、咽喉腫痛、风湿痹痛等。

在淡紫藿香蓟遍长的草坡上,常见蝴蝶翩翩,流连忘返。一霎时,我想化身蝴蝶,吻它千遍!

The spectacular White Weed blooms is one of the joys during pandemic lock down. Same as other wild flowers, it rarely gets the recognition it deserves. I guess it wouldn't care, provided it is able to raise its heads to see the sun through the soil.


2. 跟随长柄菊进入童话 Picked a Tridax Daisy, gave me access to fairy tales



中文名:长柄菊
别名:羽芒菊
Common name: Coat Button, Tridax Daisy
Scientific name: Tridax procumbens

白边花、黄心花,茎长长的,从小就喜欢把长柄菊握在手中,吹呀吹她的柔毛,一同进入童话。

长柄菊是菊科羽芒菊属下的一种多年生草本植物。在印度,人们从长柄菊的叶子中提取汁液,用于治疗传染性皮肤病和让伤口愈合。


Benefit from nature's serenity where the Tridax Daisies are at their showy peak in this season, my happiness for jogging is maximized.

During my childhood, I love to hold the tall-growing stem of Tridax Daisy, blew the feathery pappus away.  Picking the daisylike yellow-centered white flowers with three-toothed ray florets straight from my neighbourhood was also one of the most wonderful feelings in my childhood.


3. 好久不见,含羞草 Finally we meet, the Sensitive Plant

 

中文名:含羞草
Common name: Sensitive Plant, Humble Plant, Touch-me-not, Shy Plant 
Scientific name: Mimosa pudica L.

感应草、喝呼草、知羞草、怕丑草、怕羞草、夫妻草、见笑草。

含羞草,好久不见。她是我童年的玩伴,轻轻触碰,含羞答答,她闭合起叶子……

当成片的含羞草绽放在草坡上,要是从前的孩子们见到,肯定乐坏了。若要让现在的孩子们接触这玩意儿,倒要嘱咐他们小心留意,含羞草的茎上长刺呢!

原产于美洲热带的巴西的含羞草,是豆科含羞草属的一种多年生草本植物。带红色的茎可入药,可也具毒性哦!

The Sensitive Plant bears clusters of pinkish blooms in the campus. Touch the leaflets; it will fold all the leaves like it has slept. Many of us have fond childhood memories of poking the Sensitive Plant, don't we?


4.  浅紫小蝴蝶——平伏茎白花菜  Fringed Spider Flower, like a tiny butterfly


中文名:皱子白花菜
别名:平伏茎白花菜、成功白花菜
Common name: Fringed Spider Flower
Scientific name: Cleome rutidosperma


平伏茎白花菜像小小紫蝴蝶,风一吹,绿叶中轻飞。

她原产非洲,喜欢她的小巧,她的可爱,还有目光难以不被她逮捕的浅紫色。她的茎有倒臥平伏在地生长的特性,所以被命名为“平伏茎白花菜”。

When my spirits need lifting, I whip to outdoor for the wild flowers. I wish I could meet Fringed Spider Flower more often. No doubt, I crave for its color and its form that look like a tiny butterfly.


5.  把楠草带回家  Natural companions during the circuit breaker period


 

中文名:楠草
别名:芦利草
Common name: Creeping Ruellia
Scientific name: Ruellia repens 

楠草是多年生披散草本,小小楠草紫花瓣,很是漂亮,叫我如何不爱?喜欢把她带回家,装点书桌和窗台。

When nature provided the greenery with a touch of soft purple, it will throw in another photo on my plants album.  Undoubtedly, Creeping Ruellia is one of them. 

Small  Creeping Ruellia add interest to the landscape, and pick it home, like many wildflowers, it can do well in glass containers.
