Spring Orchid Queen-Green Cloud

Spring Orchid Queen-Green Cloud

Spring orchid, green cloud, clear and ugly year (AD 1869) came out of Daqingli, Wuyunshan, Hangzhou. Wuyun Mountain is 334 meters above sea level between Jiuxi eighteen streams and Yunqi in Hangzhou. Gangfu Shenxiu, green and verdant mountains, is a famous mountain in the West Lake Scenic area. Among the people, there is also a story about Guanyin going to the west to worship Buddha, passing through this mountain, forgetting to return, leaving lotus flowers and turning into five-colored auspicious clouds. It is said that a widow surnamed Chen, who lives in Liuxia Town in the western suburbs of Hangzhou, saw a unique orchid in a hole in an ancient plum tree by the side of the road on her way to Hangzhou. She picked it off and planted it on her head. Wherever she walked, others smelled a faint fragrance. Widow Chen's uncle bullied her alone and tried to embezzle her real estate. She didn't want to be bullied and went to Hangzhou to complain. At that time, she happened to pass by the famous Shao Zhiyan pen village. The orchid on her head attracted Mr. Shao Zhiyan, the shopkeeper who loved orchids. Shao Zhiyan immediately found the widow, asked about the origin of the orchid, and the widow ignored her and went all the way. it turned out that she was in a bad mood to file a lawsuit. When Boss Shao learned what had happened, he said to her, "as long as you take me to find this orchid, I will help you win the case." The widow finally agreed to take him to find the orchid, and in this way, the excellent green clouds in the orchid, which lived deep in the mountains, finally appeared in front of the world. Later, Shao Zhiyan also used the image of Lvyun as the trademark of Chilan Brush Brush. Later, widow Chen also won the lawsuit, and Shao Zhiyan also spent a lot of silver for this, so Shao Zhiyan bought this orchid at a high price. The discovery of the green cloud is purely accidental, but it is only a legend that it was collected and cultivated by dedicated people and left behind. Lvyun is known as the queen of spring orchids, and owning it is the ultimate goal of orchids. About 90 years ago, in order to get strange flowers and green clouds, Yuyao Hu Zhitian specially rode to Shao Zhiyan's house in Hangzhou and bought a half-old grass with 1440 silver yuan. He went home happily and failed to survive due to cultivation mistakes. Later, Weng Yujin Lao Gao of Zhuyouren in Shaoxing brought three green clouds from the Shao Zhiyan pen village in Hangzhou for 4400 silver yuan. Hu Xiaoyan's mother, Mrs. Huang, bought all the money for cultivation. After planting, she selected two new grasses and planted them in two pots. After years of upbringing, it has successively produced more than 100 piles, which have been handed down so far. (quoted from "Yilan Family Hu Xiaoyan talking about Green Cloud") Lvyun is an odd species of multi-petal lotus, with short and wide outer petals, corners, clam shells and bangs. The leaves are short, broad and thick waxy, with obliquely erect leaves, 10 Mel 20 cm long and 0.7 Mel 1.1 cm wide, the bottom leaves of adult plants are slightly arched, the veins are white and very thin, the leaf color is dark green, the luster is abnormal, the leaf margin is serrated less, only the middle edge of the central leaf is slightly denticulate, most of the leaves are V-shaped, the feet cling tightly, and the leaf tip is obtuse and round. The new buds are as green as green, slightly pink and blush, and the sprouting is generally not unearthed until late June to early July. The flower bud is light pink, with purple thick stripes on it, the bracts are broad, the whole flower buds are round, and the flower bract capsid is purple and red sand halo with green color. Pedicel 6-8 cm high, pedicel thick round, green and embellished lavender clouds, apical node gradually turning light green, with 1 Mel 2 flowers. The petals are short and round, and the flowers are green and delicate. According to the Koran spectrum, a double flower can open 20 petals, a single flower can open 10 petals, usually 5 sepals, 4 palps, 1 lip, or 4 sepal, 4 petals, 2 tongues, it is said that there are 3 tongues. Lvyun flowers are symmetrical, colorful and unpredictable when they bloom for 10 pieces, and sometimes butterflies appear on the petals, which are very beautiful, and there are only normal lotus flowers, which is just because the grass is not strong or the variety is not pure. At present, most of the green clouds on the market come from tissue culture seedlings in South Korea, as well as technological grass green clouds, green clouds, snow and other art grass green clouds, these are not true green clouds, these plant types are tall, verve, fragrance, and flower shape are also very different from those of the original old species of green clouds. however, green cloud flowers with 7-8 petals are rare, and those who can bloom 9-10 petals are almost nowhere to be found. For a long time, people have said that green clouds are difficult to raise, but in fact, they do not have a good grasp of her habits. green clouds like cool, adequate light, more morning sunshine, dry planting and cultivation, and require good environmental ventilation, fresh air and no pollution. plant materials require good permeability, water and fertilizer conservation. Light fertilizer is applied frequently in management, it is not suitable to divide plants too frequently, as long as we treat the green clouds with a normal mind, we will certainly be able to plant green clouds with luxuriant flowers and leaves.
