"Green Cloud" is a rare and famous product in the lotus petal of Chunlan. Three short round, wide, clam shell holding, bangs tongue. Petals and lips change greatly, sometimes there are many petals, many hands, many lips, many flowers appear, which is actually a strange species of lotus petals, which is listed as excellent in the Lan Hui Tongxin record in the Qing Dynasty.

There are always beautiful legends about rare orchids. It is said that there was a widow living in Wuyun Mountain in Hangzhou. Her uncle deceived her and wanted to swallow her real estate. When she went to Hangzhou to complain, she smelled a delicate fragrance on the way to the mountain. She found a clump of bluegrass, picked flowers and inserted them on her head, and then hurried straight to the Drum Tower. Passing through the most famous Shao Zhiyan pen shop in Hangzhou, the orchid on her head was found by the owner who loved orchids and hurriedly stopped her way to ask about the origin of the orchid on her head. The widow was so anxious that she ignored it and went straight ahead, but the shopkeeper was obsessed with it. Finally, it was agreed that the shopkeeper would be responsible for winning the case, and the widow could go back to look for grass. As a result, it is conceivable that the rich case will win in the end, and it is only natural that the shopkeeper gets the orchid he wants. The orchid is really attractive. Eight or nine thick, broad, bright green petals open and close slightly, wrapped around a slightly rolled U-shaped scarlet patch of white round tongue and a slightly deformed milky yellow nose. Anyone who sees this flower can't help but blurt it out. "A shrunken lotus!" I dare not assert that the discovery of this flower is the reason to open the lotus petals of orchids, but it can be explained that none of the lotus petals recorded in the books have been discovered earlier than this. Successive flames of war have wiped out many rare species, and it is said that the precious species of lotus loved by everyone once disappeared, and then the war subsided and the peace and prosperity came to an end. In order to show wealth and elegance, there are more and more people who go to the mountains to find orchids in exchange for silver and silver to support their families. It is said that two brothers went into the mountain to pick orchids and found a valley cliff. They saw a bag of twisted leafless orchid on the cliff. The brothers went around the top of the cliff, put the rope down to the cliff, pulled up the rotten soil next to the roots of the orchid, and picked up the orchid carefully. Suddenly, they found that the crisscross root of the orchid was wrapped around a thin gold chain, and the gold chain was hung with a gold medal of half an inch square. The brothers were very surprised and hurriedly took a closer look at the gold medal. The word "green cloud" was clearly engraved on the gold medal, and the two brothers were puzzled. When he got home, the greedy boss left the gold chain and gold medal and threw the Aristolochia to his brother. Without arguing with his brother, the second planted the Paphiopedilum. The people in the village knew that the eldest brother was too black and treated his brothers like this, and the second said that the second was too stupid to put gold, but wanted the grass that did not even have a bud. Over the past few years, the second bag of grass finally blossomed, blooming at the same time also solved a mystery, that is, the flower disappeared in the war, causing a large number of dignitaries, writers and writers obsessed with the lotus. To this end, the second got a high gold chain and silver worth a thousand times the gold medal, and the second also expressed the words hidden in his heart for several years: bluegrass that can hang gold medals must be worth more than gold, gold is valuable, and precious bluegrass is priceless. Years to verify the truth of the second words, Yilan people's love for orchid also makes the "green cloud" Zhen Lan can be continued and spread. Regardless of whether the two legends are true or false, "Green Cloud" Lan is true, she is still so charming, still so changeable and mysterious. Of course, it also makes up for the ancients' regret that "a lotus is nowhere to be found".

With the improvement of people's understanding of flowers and plants during the reform and opening up, and the prosperity of the orchid market, it seems that the extinct "green cloud" was born overnight. I was lucky enough to buy two seedlings. After five years of hard work and cultivation, the grass returned to the grass, and finally I was able to blossom. I was really excited and happy beyond words. In order to enjoy the interpretation of the whole blooming process of "Green Cloud", I let its flowers bloom and fall, and it was too late to repent until the flower committee fell grass. The decline of potted grass confirms the old saying that "if the flowers bloom for a long time, they will hurt the grass".

All things in the world are full of spirituality, as long as you really love her, she will give you your love for her unreservedly, especially orchids. If it were not for the curiosity-hunting mentality, the Ailan people could own this orchid and plant it carefully. Every year, they could not only enjoy the unpredictable flowers and smell the fragrance, but also look forward to the surprises of the coming year. This is indeed a happy thing in life. If, through your planting and your shooting, you can leave a beautiful picture of the "green cloud" in the world with more than a dozen petals, I think, for a real Ailan. This life should be enough.
