回到科大,校门口路边一树上一大簇红花在满眼的绿叶中,艳得好赏心悦目,心情也轻松起来。在车匝前,门口的一位中年女门卫,特意跑到我车前,问怎么好久没见,又问孩子怎样。我没料到她居然注意到我最近一段时间不在学校。是不是她也受眼前的美景影响,心情也很好?
进了校门,在邮局前面,也有两树同样的大簇红花, 但衬着白色的建筑物,没有校门口那簇好看。接着又在Las Panades 和清水湾道又看到三四棵同样的树。给香港夏天单调的绿色带来了生机。这样美丽的东西,不知叫什么?上网上一查,原来是凤凰木。
百度介绍http://baike.baidu.com/view/62584.htm:凤凰木(Delonix regia),豆科凤凰木属的植物。原生非洲马达加斯加。野外属濒危物种。目前已由人工引种栽培,被广泛栽种为观赏树。在香港为常见的外来品种落叶乔木,台湾则于1897年引入,台南市更将其订为市花,以与“凰凤城”之别名相称。凤凰木同时是厦门的市树。
