丑菊

    这是件有趣的事，我去年种了株丑菊，天天盼着它快开花。因为我想要看看享有如此恶名的花究竟怎样。可是，事与愿违，它偏偏跟我过不去，懒洋洋地睡大觉，连花的影子都没有，我气得真想把它拔了，但没舍得。

    今年“五一”，沉睡了一年的花忽然打了苞，我高兴极了，真庆幸没把它扔掉。起初，底狭头宽的绿叶芯中夹了一个绿色小球，非常小，只有小绿豆那么大。长了几天，花苞就透出了一点儿黄色，这时，已有黄豆大小。再耐心等些天，花终于开了，颜色金黄金黄的，几十个花瓣摆了三四层，虽只有铜钱大小，但这就更显出它的娇小，美丽极了。

    我最欣赏的是，到了夜晚，几层花瓣便像收伞似的自动收拢；白天，花瓣又像撑伞似的张开，而且花面一直迎着太阳，跟着太阳转，显得非常恭敬。难怪它还有土名叫“状元伞”“假葵花”呢！

    是谁给它起名叫“丑菊”的呢？这我不知道。

    但我觉得那人大不公平了，丑菊非但不丑，而且非常美丽、可爱。由此我想，人间事物中，不少东西往往名实并不完全相符，我们在实际工作中，处理问题不但要知其名，更要究其实。
