刚从树梢上探出头来的时候，我只露出或红或白的小脸，当天气慢慢暖和，我才会伸伸懒腰，尽情绽放：花瓣底下是白色的，花瓣边缘是粉色的。虽然我不是很香，但还是会有许多蜜蜂来吮吸我甜甜的花蕊。我的花期是2-3月，当盛开的花落了，我才会长叶子，是不是很神奇呢？
When I first poked my head out of the treetop, I only showed my little face, which was either red or white. As the weather gradually warmed up, I would stretch and bloom to my heart's content: the petals were white at the bottom and pink at the edges. Although I am not very fragrant, there are still many bees coming to suck on my sweet flower buds. My flowering period is from February to March. When the blooming flowers fall, I will grow leaves. Isn't it amazing?作文网 zUOwEnBa.Net
