Do rice plants grow flowers? The answe is yes, bus few people experience seeing them.
For the reasons that they are relatively small, less than 1cm long, and white in colour, and also bloom for only about 2 days, twice a year in Taiwan
Need to point out, flowers of rice plant are called “spikelets”, while “rice flower” refers to another species of plant.
Though inconspicuous they may be, their fruit, rice grains, do play an important role as the main staple food in Asia.
昨晨發現天氣柔和，沒有吹風，陽光柔和，因此特地開車前往我熟悉的佳林村去探查一下，稻花開了沒有。結果是緣分十足，剛巧碰上最好的花況。
特別分享幾張清晰的稻花照片，讓大家放大來欣賞，也可以體驗一個事實，雖然它們扮演的是我們主要的糧食的角色，它們的花卻是極度嬌小含蓄。蘊含的是一個巧妙的啟示，重要的身份其實以含蓄的方式去流露，會更得體。

*另外分享一張， 就在稻田旁近距離拍到的荷花照片 （一日花）， 穿過荷葉而出是一大可観的特點。

It is in fact a 1st-day lotus flower, taken at less than 1m distance, using my cellphone. The lotus pond, actually bordering the tice paddies.(A lotus flower has real appeal in two days, both 1st-day and 2nd-day flower have their petals fold back aftar about 2pm, 3rd one is spent, turns pale and start to fall off.)
