I don’t understand this poem. Why does the kapok tree belittle the trumpet vine? What is the trumpet vine like? ? -55…… If I love you— I certainly won’t be like the climbing trumpet vine, using your high branches to show off myself ; If I love you— I will never imitate the foolish birds, singing the same monotonous songs over and over again in the shade of the trees ; It’s not just like a spring, bringing cool comfort all year round ; It’s not just like a steep peak that increases your height and enhances your dignity. Even sunlight. Even the spring rain. No, all of this isn’t enough! I must be a kapok tree by your side, standing with you in the form of a tree. Roots, firmly held in the ground ; Leaves, touching each other in the clouds. With every gust of wind, we greet one another, but no one understands our words. You have your copper branches and iron trunks, like knives, like swords, and also like halberds ; I have my red and plump flowers, like heavy sighs, and like brave torches. We share the cold snaps, winds, thunder, and lightning ; We share the mist, the drifting haze, and the rainbows. As if forever separated, yet staying together for life. This is true great love; fidelity lies here: love – not only for your strong body, but also for the place you stand firm in, for the land beneath your feet.
People use the characteristics of this flower, from its growth to its decline, as a metaphor for those who cling to those in power and seek high positions; they become complacent once they gain a small advantage, only to ultimately bring ruin upon themselves
To the Oak Tree: Everyone has their own favorite things; the author prefers kapok trees
Bougainvillea – do you know why it’s called that? Actually, it’s obvious from its name itself.
I just searched on Baidu, and some of these flowers actually look like kapok flowers. Is that incorrect?
The meaning of the wisteria flower is “admiration, reputation,” symbolizing the love of a mother. Trachelospermum is often combined with holly and crocuses to form bouquets given to mothers as an expression of love for them.

I think the author didn’t understand the language of flowers back then; otherwise, they wouldn’t have written in that way
