腊梅
腊梅（ 学名：Chimonanthus praecox plum blossom）别名然黄梅、黄梅花，科腊梅属。落叶灌木，高2-4米左右，单叶对生，叶片椭圆状卵形或卵状披针形，先端渐尖，基部圆形或楔形，长7－15厘米，全缘，表面粗糙；芽具有覆瓦状的鳞片；花为两性花，花梗极短，被黄，带蜡质，具芳香，故又称蜡梅。花期12月到次年2月，果期次年6-9月。
我喜欢腊梅，它虽不像春天开的那些桃花、李花那样艳丽，但却敢于和凛冽的寒风、冰冷的大雪抗争，直面险恶的环境，勇敢地面对挑战。它拥有最高尚的品质，默默无闻、自强不息、坚强、刚毅，不向困难低头，不夸耀自己。我们既要学习它们“梅花香自苦寒来”的拼搏精神，又要学习它们“俏也不争春,只把春来报”的奉献精神。

  I like winter sweet. Although it’s not so gorgeous as the peach blossom opening in spring,
but dare to fight against the cold wind and snow, facing to the dangerous environment and challenges bravely. It has the best quality such as obscure, unyielding, strong ,resolute and doesn’t lower its head to difficultly or boast. We should not only learn from them the fighting spirit like "the plum blossom incense from the experience ", but also learn their dedication like "fancy not to Scrambling for spring but to be a harbinger of the spring" .
