The wintersweet flowers (Chimonanthus praecox) in CAU campus are flourishing these days, much later than those in Kunming, Yunnan Province.
Plum flowers are considered as a symbol of perseverance in Chinese culture, for they only bloom in cold winters. "Plum flowers braving the snow", as the saying goes. Most people believe that wintersweet is a kind of plum. However, plum belongs to the family of Rosaceae, but wintersweet is a member of Calycanthaceae. Now you see, they are totally different species.

The 2008’s winter has passed silently, without any snow or rain. However, things always go better. After a long period of drought. What 2009 presents us was not only the rain a few days ago, but also the snow which has lasted for three days! Here are some photos taken in our campus.
