Flowers on steel?

A Chinese man named Ding has reportedly found a patch of tiny white flowers blooming from a steel pipe in his vegetable garden. He told The Sohu News:

“I was cleaning the pipes, and then my hand touched something fluffy. The stems are slimmer than human hair and altogether there are 38 small white flowers on top of the pipe.”

Ding watched his discovery closely and found that the flowers opened every morning and then closed when the sun became too strong. Each flower has a diameter of 1mm. His neighbors have told him they are a flower seeped in Oriental legend that blooms once every three thousand years. (How they would know is another matter.)

As such, Ding is certain that his flowers that have sprung from no water and no soil can only bring him luck. (Yes, but can the pipe learn to grow money instead of flowers?)

What do YOU think?
