サボテンの花
過去にも紹介したことがあるが、我が社のビルの裏階段に１０数年前から住まいするサボテンが居る。このサボテンは何といっても極めて親孝行で、住まいしてこのかた親の手を煩わせたことがない。
先ずエサを欲しがることが無く、月に一度「水を少しくれ」というだけ。日当たりがどうとか、温度がどうとか、雨がどうとかなど居場所に文句をいったことも無い。
ところが年に一度１０数時間だけ見事な花を咲かせ、親の目を楽しませてくれる。本当に手のかからない孝行息子で、私のようなずぼらな親にはもってこいの子である。
今年も咲きました。見てやってください。
As I’ve mentioned in the past, a cactus that has been living on the back stairs of our building for more than ten years now has There is. This cactus is extremely filial and has never been bothered by its parents since it lived here. The first thing he does is to ask for a little water.
First of all, he never asks for food, and once a month, he only asks for a little water. He never complained about the sunshine, temperature or rain.
However, once a year, for a dozen hours or so, he puts on a magnificent flower, much to the delight of his parents’ eyes. He is a really hardworking and devoted son, and he is the perfect child for a sluggish parent like me.
It has bloomed again this year. Please take a look at it.
