小樟樹 Camphor Tree

莫拉克颱風來臨，擔心窗台上的盆栽萬一強風吹襲掉下樓咂到人就糟糕啦；把一些盆栽搬進屋，才發現這一盆當初來路不明的小樟樹，竟然已長得不小啦!

喜歡種一些花草，不過草花通常漂亮短短一段時間就枯萎了。不知何時，發現空盆子自行長出植物，ㄝ?! 原來是小樟樹ㄛ! 聽姪女說: 樟樹籽被小鳥當食物吞進肚再排泄出來到土裡才會長出小樟樹，如果刻意拿樟樹籽去播種是不易長出幼苗來。

春秋季節有時會聽到麻雀在陽台外吱吱叫，想必就是牠們的傑作了，本以為小樟樹在炎熱的陽光下，可能也活不了多久，因為常常忘記幫它澆水，不過今天看到它很努力茁壯的樣子，再繼續長下去，得幫它找個寬廣的地方，讓它發展。

Morakot Typhoon is coming. I’m afraid of the little plants in outside of the windows might be falling down to hit to the passenger of 1st floor. So I moved those plants into the room. Ye…? The little camphor tree grew very fast.

I like flowers and plants. But when I bought the flowers in pot, the flowers could only be alive for a short time. One day, I found that a little plant is growing in the empty pot. It’s a little camphor tree. My niece told me that the bird ate the camphor seed as food, and then it was excreted in the earth and a little camphor was grew. If we try to sow camphor seeds, it’s difficult to germinate.

I often heard some little sparrows singing outside of my bedroom. The little camphor tree must be those sparrows’ work. I think, one day, I need to find another wide place for the camphor tree to develop its world.
