Peganum harmala

Peganum harmala, you are the favorite of desert plants! ?

Ah, you look so humble! There are no tall and straight stems, green leaves and gorgeous flowers, but you grow stubbornly from generation to generation. You plunge your roots deeply into the gravel, absorb a little bit of water and nutrition, and store it in your own leaves and stems over time ... but that's not for your own survival, but for the benefit of others.

Isn't it? When the long-distance camel team is hungry and thirsty, you selflessly give your stems and leaves to contribute to the camel team's continued progress; When the cold hit the camel team, you gave everything without reservation, lit a bonfire, and gave light and warmth to the hard trekkers.

Pegasus, you are an ordinary and nameless canopy. But it is your pride and glory that people name you with the beautiful name "camel". (Li Xinhai)
