Spring is the season when flowers bloom in profusion, and the imagery of spring is naturally vibrant and colorful. Among them, there is a refreshing shade of purple that does not compete with the multitude of flowers, yet possesses a unique charm. It is the wisteria. The most beautiful time is April in the human world. Strolling through Daguan Park, with the spring warmth and bright scenery, a tree of light purple 'mist and clouds' comes into view, adding a touch of gentleness to the spring light before your eyes. Wisteria has a wonderful quality of both strength and grace: the vines are robust, the branches are slender and graceful, clusters and bunches, smiling and growing freely in the spring. It exudes an innate softness and elegance, three parts beauty, three parts poetry, three parts artistic conception, and one part perfect harmony of blooming at will, even the air is filled with a sweet fragrance, intoxicating those who breathe it in. It's the varying shades of purple, seemingly in motion, laughing, and ceaselessly growing. This is a kind of emotion stirred by spring, coming from deep within the heart. It is like spring itself, omnipresent, silently nurturing, healing us, inspiring us, as if something good is about to happen at any moment. The initial flourish of wisteria signifies a future full of hope.
