Plum
Qiu Jin

Countless branches are decorated with snow, pure ice is perfect for poetry.

Flower are incomparable in their graceful form, the delicate calyx covered the corolla in a graceful posture.

A white-robed fairy has come to earth, the beautiful woman waives her plain sleeves to show her yearning.

The hermit in the mountain never  offend the flower, he did not allow the white powder paint on walls.
咏白梅
秋瑾

雪玉妝成千萬枝,冰霜雅操最宜詩。

花壇獨步盈盈立,嫩萼含葩淡淡姿。

仙子白衣初謫降,佳人素袂最相思。

孤山處事空唐突,未許門牆網粉施。
