Brief details of appreciation of Han Orchid

In China, cold orchids are widely distributed, and most of them are distributed in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Hunan and other provinces. The above areas are mainly winter cold orchid, and there are also a few natural hybrids of spring cold orchid and autumn cold orchid, but the proportion is very small. In Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei a few places, the distribution of summer flowering Xia Han orchid, accounting for a small proportion of the whole cold orchid. The cold orchid that we usually talk about mainly refers to the winter orchid that blossoms in winter (mainly from October to December every year).

On the plant type and leaf type of Han Cymbidium

Cold orchid is divided into big leaf cold orchid and fine leaf cold orchid. In the cold orchid producing areas, there are mainly large-leaf cold orchids in some places and fine-leaf cold orchids in some places, but the proportion is different; in some large-leaf producing areas, the proportion of fine leaves is very small, and in some fine-leaf producing areas, the proportion of large leaves is very small, and there are almost all places with large leaves and fine leaves, but in the same mountain forest, there are not many mixed large leaves and fine leaves. The leaf width of Magnolia is generally about 1.0-3.0 cm, and the leaf height is 40-80 cm; the leaf width of Cymbidium is 0.5-2.0 cm, and the leaf height is 30-70 cm. Han orchid has a variety of leaf types, either upright, oblique, or curved, even if it is upright, the Radian of the oblique curved border is also different. Some of the leaves are thick and hard, some are soft, some are just and soft, and they are very beautiful. The leaf color is also varied, some dark green, some light green, some grid leaf veins, thick and light; the cold orchid leaf color of the new seedlings is lighter, with the maturity of the new seedlings, the leaf color gradually deepens, the gloss is better. Cold orchid plant type is compact, or tall and majestic, or delicate and elegant. For Magnolia, the leaf width is between 1.0-1.5 cm, the leaf height is 40-60 cm; the fine leaf width is 0.8-1.3 cm, the height is between 30-50 cm, the gloss is good, the plant type is compact, and the upper part of the leaf is inclined and elegant, which is more beautiful. There are many kinds of leaf types and plant types of Han orchid, and there are many choices according to individual preferences. In the downhill cold orchid, under the same width, the leaves of the fine-leaf cold orchid are slightly higher than those of the big-leaf cold orchid, but after a few years of artificial domestication, the leaves become relatively short, symmetrical, and not as messy as they were when they first came down the mountain.

About Han Lan's flower pole:

The flower pole of Han orchid is relatively thin compared to other orchids, which is what we usually call the lamp core. Although the cold orchid is an orchid with many flowers and arrows out of the shelf, the small flower rod can also withstand a large number of high flowers, which is the characteristic of the cold orchid rod: it has great toughness and bone strength. Cold orchid flower rod is generally purple rod and complex color rod for the most, red rod, green rod also have. In addition to the vegetarian heart, the pure green flower pole in the cold orchid is very rare, even if it is the green rod flower, there are many green poles with mixed colors. The colors of the stem, stalk and flowers of Han orchid are usually different. For example, even if the flower stalk is blue and white, the flower stalk is purple. Yellow and white flower poles are even more rare. For a single variety of cold orchid with petite plant type and a small number of flowers, the pure red, pure purple or pure green wick is more beautiful, and for tall and multi-flowered varieties, the flower stalk should also be stout, so that it can support a large number of flowers. it also matches the plant type (not all the wick rods are beautiful, and the flower stalks should match the plant type). The height of the flower pole is better than the one who stands out.

About Han Lan's flowers:

Cold orchid is a multi-flowered orchid species, the size of flowers is generally five or six centimeters to ten centimeters, super-large flowers can reach more than fifteen or sixteen centimeters in diameter, fine-leaf cold orchid flowers are relatively small. The petals of Hanlan are almost all willow leaf petals, chicken claw petals and so on. It is this kind of petals that create the ingenuity and elegance of cold orchid flowers with various forms. The number of flowers in Daye Magnolia is more, from five or six to more than a dozen common, and the flowers of Cymbidium are less, from three or five to seven or eight. As for the number of flowers, the number of big-leaf cold orchids is 5-7, and that of fine-leaf cold orchids is 3-5. But the number of flowers also reflects the characteristics of a single species, more will not be less, less will not be more, can not be forced. It is better to arrange the flowers in a spiral, so that no matter which direction you enjoy the flowers, one or more of them will be opposite to each other. The sparse degree of flowers is that the petals of each other can not touch each other and there should be a certain distance. If there are two flowers arranged in turn in the same direction, it is better to have the distance of one flower. Sparse and jointed, the staggered inflorescence is also a kind of beauty.

About the design and color of Han Lan:

Han orchid is extremely rich in design and color, including water safflower, big safflower, purple safflower, yellow flower, white flower, dark green flower, light green flower and so on, as well as multi-color flowers and complex color flowers, including purple (red) flowers, blue and blue flowers. The petals of Cymbidium gracilis generally have a more obvious white wheel, especially the petals. No matter what kind of color it is, the pure and gentle one comes first; but the yellow flowers are golden, light yellow, and cyan yellow; the petals are mixed with short-ribbed flowers of another color (such as blue and blue with purple ribs), or dull mixed flowers, if there is no other reward, it is not advisable to look at the color flowers only. Multicolor flowers pay attention to the contrast of colors and whether the boundaries of multiple colors are clear, the ones with good contrast and clear boundaries are above (in cold orchids, there are two kinds of polychromatic flowers, one is the polychromatic flowers with distinct color boundaries, such as chimera flowers, edge flowers, claw flowers, and the other is a mixture of two or more colors, which are embedded with each other and are colorful, so they are also called colorful orchids). There is also a kind of color-changing flowers in cold orchids, with large leaves and fine leaves, and fine leaves are more common, generally turning green to red or purple. The color-changing flowers also need to see whether they are bright after changing color, some turning into panchromatic flowers (all red or all purple), some turning into polychromatic flowers, and so on. Cold orchid also has many vegetarian flowers, large leaves are mainly green liverwort, fine leaves are generally blue and white tongue, red, white and flavin are relatively rare. In cold orchid, the color flowers of big leaf cold orchid are more abundant.

About Han Lan's floral tongue:

In the cold orchid, the tongue flap has two interesting points, one is the shape of the tongue flap, and the other is the color spot of the tongue flap. Han Lan's tongue valve has big round tongue, small round tongue, big round tongue, small round tongue, light bulb tongue, square missing tongue, long tongue, sparrow tongue, pointed tongue and so on. No matter what kind of tongue flap, such a tongue flap can not only show Lanyou the beauty of the shape of the tongue flap, but also make it clear at a glance. The cold orchid tongue flap sought after by Lanyou has big round tongue, small round tongue, big round tongue, small round tongue and so on. In fact, in cold orchids, the proportion of cold orchids whose tongue petals are not rolled or micro-curled, and beautiful flowers are very small, especially in fine leaves (the tongue petals of fine leaves are relatively thin). I think: a cold flower with beautiful color, neat opening, good tongue shape and good color spots on the tongue petal, even if the tongue petal will roll after the flower, it also has its merits, and a flash in the pan is also a kind of beauty. If the tongue flap of an orchid is not rolled or slightly rolled, it will more or less have the following characteristics: first, if the tongue flap is thick enough, the tongue flap itself will have a certain strength support; second, the tongue flap should be short and small, and the short tongue flap is not easy to roll. The tongue flap such as Meixian is; third, the tongue flap has a deep pocket or wavy folds on the edge of the tongue flap. But those who have these characteristics are not absolutely unable to roll. Cold orchid tongue flap also has a variety of color spots, including full erythema (red tongue), red round spot, font-shaped erythema, square spot, facial spot, black, purplish-black patch, and slightly shaped, linear color spot. However, no matter which kind of spot strips, it is required that the color of the spot strips should be in sharp contrast with the background color of the tongue petal (the fine leaf cold orchid is better because the background color of the tongue petal is almost white); the layout of the speckle strips on the tongue petal should be neat or symmetrical; it is also required that the spot strips on the whole arrow flowers look basically the same. There is also a kind of tongue flap that occupies an important position in Han orchid, which is vegetarian tongue (all-vegetarian tongue, peach jaw element, gorgeous mouth element, etc.). If this kind of flower is light and elegant and beautiful, neat appearance, good tongue shape, it has high appreciation value. In the big leaf cold orchid, the background color of this kind of tongue flap is generally cyan, yellow, yellow and white, while in the fine leaf cold orchid, it is usually white with cyan lines.

About the petal shape of Han Lan:

"Cold orchid without petals" this is the consensus of all orchid lovers, because each of us begins to contact orchids or learn orchid knowledge, the first thing to input into the brain is the traditional petal theory. But since petal typology was founded by us, we can also determine a basic concept of cold orchid valve typology for Han Lan. Since Han Lan is an orchid species, nature and human beings have accepted her, then she also has to accept people's aesthetics. As long as most people think that it is a good petal type, and this petal type can fully reflect the beauty of cold orchid, then this petal type is the petal flower in cold orchid. We should not use the traditional petal theory to define what the petal shape of Han Lan should be and what it should not be. Cold orchid has no petal type, there is no way to win, no type is type, which is the unique embodiment of cold orchid petal type. To be able to break through the traditional concept to accept Han Lan, which is also the requirement of modern aesthetics, is a great progress in the orchid world. With the development of the times, aesthetics should also be developed. while inheriting the traditional aesthetics, we should also constantly explore new orchid species and create new aesthetic theories. The pursuit of beautiful things is an immutable goal of human beings. This is the case in life, and so is the orchid in life.

So far, there have been a lot of soft flowers in the big leaf cold orchid, such as plum fairy flowers, this kind of flowers fill the gap of cold orchid petal flowers, but not all hard flowers, soft flowers are good flowers, all have a sense of beauty. Crooked melon split jujube shape, open teeth and claws-like hard holding and soft holding is just another kind of strange flowers, most of which do not reflect any beauty.

There are more positive lattice lotus types in fine-leaf cold orchids, and this kind of flowers are also good and bad. Good design and color, good appearance, reliable flower guard can be selected, other changes are too big, not desirable.

First of all, the flowers should be dignified, even if they cannot achieve a flat shoulder, they should be symmetrical; the ratio of the outer petals to the middle palace should be coordinated, and the tongue petals should match each other; the flowers and colors should also be passable, or elegant, or gorgeous, mixed colors, and the dull colors of mixed colors should be secondary; the flower guard should be good, since it is a petal flower, the flower guard is the most important, and it will be ugly if you roll and dance the petals a few days later.

In the cold orchid, there is a kind of floating door, plum Xianli have, whether it is hard or soft floating door, even if floating, but also float neatly, blossoming consistent, in order to show the overall beauty of the whole flower. That kind of messy, irregular floating flowers, a few flowers take care of each other, there is no image to speak of.

About the strange flowers of Han Lan

Many petals and tongues are rare in cold orchids. The general multi-petal odd flower only has one or two more petals, and the sense of hierarchy is not strong. There have also been several strange flowers with many tongues: double tongues and three tongues. Strange tree-shaped flowers also appeared, but the petals were too few, thin, monotonous and thin. But nature is so skillful that anything is possible. There is a phenomenon that in many orchid species, there is often an unstable odd flower or several odd flowers, this kind of flower is extremely unstable, and the same is true in Han Lan Li.

About the butterfly flowers of Han Lan

The common butterfly flowers are generally three-star butterflies, stamens butterflies, and accessory butterflies. The quality of the butterfly mainly depends on the degree of butterfly and the contrast between the butterfly part and the petal color, as well as the opening product, the high degree of butterfly, the strong contrast, the quality of the good butterfly is of course high.

To appreciate Han Orchid is not only to appreciate its plant type and leaf type, but also to appreciate its pattern and color. A pot of cold flowers bloom and come to you. It is not easy for you to read it from head to toe. First of all, we should observe the plant type of the cold orchid; the leaf type; then take a closer look at the color, thickness, height and height of the flower arrow (stem); the order and interval of the flowers; then we will look at the color of the petals and the opening of the flowers; as well as the tongue petals of the flowers and the color spots on the tongue petals. Finally, we should get close to the smell of flowers (the fragrance of cold orchid is greatly affected by the temperature, and not all flowering cold orchids can put fragrance under the conditions at that time). All these constitute the unique charm of Hanlan: the United and compact plant type; the green swaying leaf posture; the elegant and smart leaves dancing with the wind; the flowers high above are steady and sparse and orderly, or majestic and motionless, or as cool as flowing water; there are the proud bones of frost blooming and the colder and stronger the cold fragrance.

Natural grass, free flowers, free charm, haunting her.
