II. Sample Essay Describing Your Favorite Flower
 

1. Describing My Favorite Flower - Sunflower

'Writing about myself through a sunflower
Each morning stretching in the sun
Lifting my head until the sun sets
Then dropping sadly amidst the night shadows'

The images of sunflowers and the poetry about them have gently imprinted themselves in my mind as softly as a breeze. Among the myriad of exquisite scents of the magical world of flowers, I am particularly fond of those sunflowers. They possess not only exquisite beauty but also carry many endearing meanings.

Sunflowers are a type of flower belonging to the Daisy family, with relatively short stems, just over a meter tall. These plants always face towards the sun because when they face the sunlight, they have a better chance of rapid growth. The stems are quite thick, often spotted, and have stiff hair. Sunflowers are commonly planted in rows in flower gardens, each row evenly spaced, stretching straight. Its leaves are larger than adult hands, lush green, swaying in every gust of wind. The leaves often grow apart from each other, with a heart shape underneath, serrated edges on both sides, and white hairs on both surfaces.

Essay: Describing a Sunflower Tree

Sunflowers usually bloom during the Lunar New Year. The bright yellow flowers, the entire sunflower garden dyed in a fresh yellow hue, each flower like a sun god radiating sunshine and smiling upon the world. The petals are thin and small, arranged evenly, gentle when closed and radiant like the smile of a twenty-year-old girl when blooming. In the center of the flower is a dark brown disc floret, round like a full moon on the fifteenth day, each floret containing the seeds of life. All these contribute to the radiant and graceful beauty of sunflowers. The sun's rays shining down on the flower garden seem to dance and marvel at the exquisite beauty of the sunflowers. The sprawling flower garden, mixed with every gust of wind, whispers to bring humans a wonderful feeling, longing to caress, protect, and embrace it. My mother often uses sunflowers to decorate the living room and as gifts on special occasions, and sunflower seeds are also commonly used during Lunar New Year.

Sunflowers are the epitome of sincerity, of warm love. They are also a symbol of strong vitality, perseverance, and faith in the future. Whenever faced with difficulties or fatigue, I always think of sunflowers. These flowers are the most beautiful gift that nature has bestowed upon us, evoking emotions and redeeming the souls of those who are feeling discouraged. Live like sunflowers, spreading fragrance to the world, standing strong in the face of storms.

'Sunflowers standing tall and proud
As their name suggests, in vibrant yellow
Sunflowers silently bloom
Each blossom shines, unafraid of storms'

2. Describing my favorite flower - The Rose

In this world, there are countless beautiful flowers, fragrant like lilies, chrysanthemums, and more. But perhaps, for me, the most beautiful are the red roses, the queens that captivate people's hearts.

My affection for roses stems from my mother's garden, where we diligently tended to them from their infancy to their full bloom. The rose bushes may not be tall, but their branches and leaves are robust. The vivid green leaves display prominent veins leading to serrated edges. Adorning the branches are sharp thorns, akin to guardians wielding sharp spears, always ready to protect the queen in all her splendor.

Describing a Rose Bush

Indeed, roses exude an irresistibly enchanting beauty. Perched upon a backdrop of lush green foliage, they don layers of crimson petals, forming a resplendent gown. Each morning, while the night's veil still lingers, roses glisten with dewdrops, soon enveloping admirers in their intoxicating fragrance as they bask in the sun's regal glow.

The roses in our garden have bloomed completely. A sea of red now blankets the entire garden, a sight truly exquisite. I adore roses dearly, for they have devoted themselves to beautifying life!

3. Describing My Favorite Flower - Purple Periwinkle

Boom... boom... boom...!
The school bell signaling recess has rung. Alongside the resonating bell is the chorus of cicadas heralding summer, buzzing and bustling, capturing my attention through the window frame. To my surprise, a cluster of purple periwinkle flowers bloomed beautifully in the corner of the schoolyard.

Periwinkle is my favorite plant, especially the one in the corner near my classroom. It's planted in a pot surrounded by brown bricks. I don't know how old the plant is, but its trunk is large and brown with rugged veins. Standing nearly three meters tall, its lush green foliage spreads wide like a giant umbrella, providing us with comfortable shade to play and frolic under the glaring sun.

Descriptive Essay: Purple Periwinkle Flower

When summer arrives, periwinkle starts to bloom. They are not extravagant or vibrant like roses, orchids, or apricot blossoms, but they are gentle and graceful in pale purple. The petals are soft and light like velvet, embracing the bright yellow pistils inside. Periwinkle doesn't bloom individually but clusters together. When in full bloom, a blanket of purple covers the green leaves, giving the plant a new, beautiful, and sparkling cloak. From afar, periwinkle looks even more beautiful, like a purple globe decorating the schoolyard, adding freshness and radiance alongside the vibrant red phoenix flowers. Periwinkle is also considered the flower of students, associated with the light purple ink color, which adds to its pure and gentle beauty, mesmerizing many students before its charm.

Lost in admiration for the periwinkle plant, I forgot that recess was about to end. We continued to be engrossed in our studies while the periwinkle plant stood there, still flaunting its freshest and brightest colors, watching over us.

4. Describing My Favorite Flower - Yellow Apricot Blossom

Nature has bestowed upon us precious gifts; the sun shines to warm all creatures, rain dispels dryness and dust, and flowers make life much more beautiful and colorful. My grandfather is a flower lover, and perhaps inherited from him, I also have a special affection for lovely flowers. In the small garden behind our house, my grandfather and I have hand-planted various flowers, from radiant yellow daisies covering a corner of the garden, to the proud sunflowers, their faces always turned towards the warm sun, and several pots of orchids of different varieties, with rare and precious blossoms that my grandfather cherishes, refusing to sell to anyone. Personally, I have a special fondness for the yellow apricot blossom tree in front of the house.

Ancient scholars often liken the image of apricot blossoms to that of a gentleman, noble, sturdy, with each flower exuding a gentle fragrance. Apricot blossoms only bloom at the beginning of spring, coinciding with the Lunar New Year, hence people also attribute to them the meaning of reunion, safety, and prosperity. In the Southern region, the yellow apricot blossom is the most popular flower for Tet celebrations.

Describing the golden apricot blossom on Tet holiday

At the end of winter, apricot trees shed all their leaves, leaving behind bare branches, a sign of the impending flowering season. To encourage blooming, people often water the trees regularly, once a day, and if they want the tree to bloom faster, they can water it with slightly warm water. About ten days or half a month later, from the dry branches, tiny flower buds, wearing a brown coat, slowly emerge. The flowers gradually grow larger each day, shedding their thin coats like outer petals to reveal the lush green flower buds, plump and ready to bloom. Waking up one morning, the apricot tree in front of my house had turned golden, its flowers bathed in warm pale yellow sunlight. On the first day of Tet, my family was very happy; it must be a good omen for the whole year. Apricot blossoms may not be as glamorous or vibrant as roses or daisies, but admiring apricot blossoms brings a completely different feeling, very noble and gentle. An apricot blossom consists of five bright yellow petals arranged around long stamens, with deep yellow anthers. Below is a greenish blue floral cup supporting both the petals and the stamens. Apricot blossoms do not have any particular scent, only a faint fragrance that comes and goes. Apricot blossoms bloom quickly and wither just as quickly, in about two to three days, all the petals have fallen, covering the courtyard in a beautiful scene, the apricot tree, its roots also covered in fallen blossoms. At the end of the flowering season, the trees begin to bear fruit, with old fruits falling to the ground, and countless new saplings sprouting. I eagerly gather them to plant elsewhere, with the dream that one day, it will not be just one apricot tree blooming, but an entire apricot garden flourishing in early spring. Just thinking about that imaginary scene fills my heart with happiness.

I love apricot blossoms; they are like my close friend, always there for me whether I'm happy or sad. I confide my thoughts and feelings to the tree, watering and caring for it to keep it healthy. I hope this yellow apricot tree will bring my family the good meanings often associated with it: luck, reunion, happiness, prosperity, and safety. And I myself hope to embody the good qualities of the apricot tree, living like a gentleman, noble, simple, modest, and courteous.
