The type and taste of orchid petal butterfly

The most essential part of Chinese orchids is the flower of orchids, which is the most spiritual spirit left by nature to human beings, and the most charming and magical part of orchids should be the petals of flowers. Orchid perianth has six petals, divided into two inner and outer ring arrangement, the outer three petals for calyx, similar in shape, but the upper one is slightly longer; the inner three petals are petals, the upper two petals are the same shape, often upright, called "holding" petals, the lower one is larger than the upper two petals, different in shape, called "tongue" petals, usually trilobed, the middle lobes are curved outward, the spots on the "tongue" petals are different in color; there is a column between the two holding petals, called "nose", pollen (male), style (female) embrace each other, Tibetan fragrance. Orchid flower that "nose", that "tongue", that "fragrance", that petal arrangement shape, enough to make people marvel, not to mention that the mysterious "hold" petal, containing thousands of machines into fantasy, creating infinite wonderful overflow Kuang Yu, visible orchid charm, no wonder for thousands of years, her unique natural charm, drunk countless literati, impressed many celebrities king. Chinese orchids are divided into six categories according to flower type in horticulture (lotus petal type, plum petal type, narcissus petal type, odd petal type, common flower type, and multiple flower type). Among them, there are three categories according to the variation of holding petals: plum petal type, narcissus petal type, and odd petal type (pistil butterfly, three-star butterfly, polyglossal butterfly, chrysanthemum petal, etc.). The difference between plum petals and narcissus petals is mainly the change of tongue petals: plum petals are straight, hard and not rolled back; narcissus petals are soft, large and drooping or rolled back. Orchids holding butterfly petals, orchids in nature is the most wonderful, most spiritual form of survival competition, she is a minority of orchids, her gorgeous unparalleled, her changeable unpredictable, she left the orchids are never able to copy the beautiful reverie, never able to decipher the natural code. The butterfly holding petals refers to the variation of orchid holding petals, which are essentially transformed into "tongue" petals, belonging to a kind of "tongue" phenomenon of orchid petals. The types of "tongue" phenomenon of holding petals are divided into:

1, half "butterfly", refers to the upper or lower half of the flap "butterfly" two kinds. 2, the whole "butterfly","butterfly" part is also divided into "moss" butterfly,"tongue" qualitative butterfly two kinds. 3. The butterflyization of valve holding is accompanied by two kinds of nose variation and nose non-variation. 4. The butterfly of holding petals is also divided into two kinds: butterfly of holding petals and butterfly of multiple inner petals [peony petals]. The half-butterfly with holding valve is called laughing butterfly or inner butterfly, which is often accompanied by variation of nose head, and may become full butterfly in the cultivation process; while the full-butterfly with variation of nose head may also become half-butterfly and multi-inner butterfly in the cultivation process. Many inner petals open upward, in the cultivation process, butterfly petals more or less in a constant change, unstable state, he and the cultivation skills of orchid artists, grass seedlings strong and weak have a great relationship. The butterfly of holding valve and the butterfly of outer accessory valve should be two different butterfly varieties in butterfly flower. In the butterfly of holding valve, it is necessary to divide the butterfly degree into three varieties: "pistil butterfly","three-star butterfly" and "multi-valve butterfly" according to the variation of flower opening and nose head. In fact, in the butterfly flower classification operation, Lanyou people have long given these three names and names to their own cultivation collection of butterfly flowers.

"Rudie" this variety and the name of the emergence, there are records of the earliest in the early years of the Republic of China by Yang Xingsheng found cultivation. After many years, in 1959, Mr. Shen Yuanru selected and named "Liangxi Stucco Butterfly", which began the continuation of this variety name. The name "Star Butterfly" appeared recently, perhaps because "Core Butterfly" could not contain and unify the differences in the connotation of butterfly, so the name "Three Star Butterfly" was derived.

"Pistil butterfly" is full butterfly of holding valve, butterfly part mostly contains "moss" variation, butterfly valve seed does not penetrate, often with green veins, no "tongue" root or "throat" tube; there are also full butterfly, accompanied by "throat" tube and "tongue" root, but the nose of pistil butterfly is normal, the nasal column often has butterfly valve plaque, holding valve butterfly valve plaque and tongue flap plaque are not consistent, flowers open opposite, pistil butterfly will never appear half butterfly and multi-valve butterfly phenomenon. Most of the flowers in the butterfly grass bloom are mostly pistil butterflies. The grade of stamen butterfly depends on the color, shape and gorgeous degree of the patch on butterfly flap. "Three-star butterfly" is also full butterfly holding valve, butterfly lower foot, penetration, with "tongue" root and "throat" tube, butterfly valve color patch and "tongue" valve color patch almost the same, the most important is in addition to holding valve butterfly into a real "tongue", and "core butterfly" is different, three-star butterfly nose must be variant, so three-star butterfly variability is greater, cultivation may also become half-leaf butterfly and multi-petal butterfly. The appearance of three-star butterfly grass phenomenon is smaller than that of pistil butterfly, but the butterfly degree of butterfly grass is better than that of pistil butterfly. High grade three star butterfly flowers facing upwards.

Among the famous butterfly flowers in the orchid world, such as lotus petal "sweat blood BMW", spring orchid "ruby","flower butterfly","panda butterfly" are pistil butterfly, while spring sword "peach garden three knot righteousness", lotus petal "Tang Feng Yu","three sheep Kai Tai", spring orchid "red pistil king" is also a three-star butterfly. The "core butterfly" and the "three-star butterfly" should be two species with common characteristics, they have the same place, there are similar places, but they have a specific variation difference, which is the difference between their species positioning. Just like the characteristics of plum petals and narcissus petals, there are common characteristics, all need to hold the petals from the pocket, but each has different positioning characteristics, that is, the reference of similar appearance and the difference between hard and soft tongue and back roll and no roll. The common feature of "core butterfly" and "three-star butterfly" is that they hold butterflies, but the variation of nose should be their unique distinguishing feature as different varieties. Opening phase upward is the unique feature of Samsung butterfly taste. The colorful color patches on the butterfly petals are the unique characteristics of the butterfly taste. Chinese orchids keep and display their alluring infinite charm with this variety of plant diversity, which makes orchids artists admire, appreciate, collect and pursue for a lifetime.
