Oriental Pearl (Pearl Tower) Cymbidium

Oriental Pearl (Cymbidium, also known as Pearl Tower), the bud is quite delicate, the whole green, full of aura, bud tip a touch

Bright red; leaves nearly 70 cm long at sunset, inclined and erect, leaf tips obviously thickened, showing an exposed shape, leaf margin

Serrations are obvious, especially sharp; leaves are medium in width, thick and waxy in leaf quality, yellow-green (this point is like spring orchid and butterfly, which may be strange flowers).

A feature on the leaves of a tree) with deep V-grooves on the leaves. Scape erect, red peduncle, higher than leaf surface, this strange flower both like jade tree, and not only is

Jade tree-shaped exotic flowers, chrysanthemum shapes, flowers and many other exotic flower forms are reflected in this flower. Below, I will combine photos.

The film introduces the Oriental Pearl to everyone one by one.

The main characteristics of Oriental Pearl are concentrated in four strange:

Strange one, this flower from bottom to top the second and third sections are two flowers symbiotic in the same node of the scape. collateral feature

Obviously, this is very rare in a multi-flowered orchid.

Qi Er, it completely conforms to the characteristics of Yushu flowers, the number of stamens is increased, sepals, petals and stamens are attached to stamens.

The upper and lower parts are connected with the ovary to form a "node". Petals are attached to the node. The nodes have flowers. The shape is similar to that of trees. This point is the same as Shenzhou

Odd, all compound racemes. (The above description of the jade tree flower is based on the book "Chinese Orchid Art" written by Mr. Ding Yongkang of Wuxi.

300 Questions, page 125)

odd three, each flower layers upward, to the top of the flower when the outer and inner petals were butterfly, and as many as dozens of petals that

Chrysanthemum petals. The middle is interspersed with small stills and small lips.

Qi Si, that is, the biggest characteristic of this flower is different from the general Yushu type exotic flower_many flowers on the flower, such as Yushu flowers

Scape will suddenly diverge into three to four small flowers when reaching the top, and then open a multi-petaled flower on each, while some more

A layer of flower buds continued to extend from the strong little flower. The whole flower was like a multi-platform brocade pavilion, layered and exceptionally beautiful.

Because the flower arrived in Shanghai through layers of transportation, the whole flower was wrapped in soft paper for too long, so the Oriental Pearl on the photo shows

It has to be messy, otherwise, the flower will be more brilliant and charming.

Oriental Pearl-worthy of the national orchid treasury in a pearl!

The experience of the Oriental Pearl:

In May 1999, 8 seedlings and some old reeds went down the mountain. Mr. Gu Zhenhua was introduced by an intermediary from Shaoxing people at that time

The sky-high price of 6000 yuan per seedling bought 5 seedlings, and the middleman divided the five seedlings into 3 seedlings in order to get a handful of reeds growing in the middle.

And 2 seedlings, he used these reeds to hatch a seedling grass, sold to Tao Qing at a price of 2500 yuan. At that time, Shanghai had three other people

Lan You Chen Tingzeng, Wang Zheng and Ni Yongkang used acquaintances to save the remaining 3 seedlings of Shaoxing people at the same price of 600 per seedling

$0 is in hand.

At that time, there was a rumor and it was published in the book "Yue Lan Xin Pu" that Jin Dingxian also had 3 seedlings in his hands, but

After Gu Zhenhua contacted him, he admitted on the phone that his tree was different from that in the hands of Shanghai Lanyou, and hoped that Gu Zhenhua would

Send him a photo after Zhenhua blooms again. In order to thoroughly investigate the truth of this flower coming down the mountain, Mr. Gu Zhenhua asked the orchid merchants who had handled this flower

One by one, we know that there are many similar strange flowers coming down the mountain with this flower, that is, the same as Lan friends often say.

A mountain down, a nest of things. The total number of these exotic flowers is 20-30, among which, the more typical ones are Yushu type exotic flowers.

Flowers "Flower of the British", Tang Qin's peony petal-type exotic flower "Yushu Phoenix Dance"(now name: Jade Kirin), Gu Zhenhua's chrysanthemum petal-type exotic flower Dragon Butterfly

Wait a minute. Some flow to Nantong, some in Shaoxing, because Lanyou do not understand this flower (of course, some deliberately misleading), some of which Yushu type strange flowers or multi-petal strange flowers are also called Pearl Tower, for a time it seems that Pearl Tower has become synonymous with Yushu type strange flowers.

Oriental Pearl Tower (Pearl Tower) is currently only in the hands of Mr. Gu Zhenhua and me. In order to prevent Lanyou from being deceived into introducing those so-called Pearl Towers, I had to send them online first to let Lanyou know the truth of this flower as soon as possible.

This flower is also named.

We were delighted to get such a good flower. After discussion, we were ready to call it the Oriental Pearl and invite Shen Xin of Shanghai.

Mr. Bao published it on behalf of "Chinese Orchid," but Mr. Shen Xinbao thought that the Oriental Pearl was Jiang Zemin's inscription and should be taboo.

He could not use it, but he listed it under the name Pearl Tower. But Gu Zhenhua and I both think that this is not a feudal society.

The king will be forbidden again, so it is officially named Oriental Pearl for this flower.

Specific forms of flowers (from top to bottom):

The first flower (this flower is based on the usual sense): consists of three small Yushu flowers, of which the strongest

A flower still sticks out from one of them, but it doesn't bloom.

The second flower: the whole flower is Yushu type, and four small pedicels grow from Yushu stem, which are respectively

A rare flower of Yushu type.

Third flower: same as the second flower

The fourth flower: four small pedicels extend from the top of a Yushu flower, each opening a Yushu flower.

The fifth and sixth flowers were born on the same node, and they were also the two most beautiful flowers. The pedicel on the left split into two,

Then, three or four small pedicels extend from the top of each, and small Yushu flowers bloom. The one on the right splits into three branches from the root.

One branch is divided into two flowers, and two branches are divided into three odd flowers. The strongest one also grows a layer of flower buds.

The seventh flower is two-layered, without branching.

The eighth and ninth flowers also grow on the same node at the same time. The one on the left is a typical Yushu flower without branching.

No additional layers. The flower on the right split into two, one into a jade tree shape, and the other probably didn't open because of insufficient strength.

The tenth flower was divided into two parts, one broken and the other Yushu flower.
