The outstanding mother flower of lotus petal orchid seed: the icing on the cake

The lotus petal orchid is mainly produced in the Nujiang, Lancang and Jinsha River basins in western and northwest Yunnan, where there are great differences in elevation, vegetation, temperature and humidity, soil conditions, and rich storage of all kinds of non-ferrous metals. as a result, its plant type, flower type, flower color and other changes are extremely rich, and produce more natural variation varieties, such as plum, lotus, narcissus, bamboo leaf petals, colored flowers, butterfly flowers, vegetarian flowers, red tongue and so on. Among them, some varieties with basically the same or similar characters form series such as red tongue, mother flower and so on (some orchids are called strains). Among them, the daughter and mother flower series of butterfly flowers are colorful in many strains of lotus petal orchid, and are favored and sought after by orchid friends.

There are more than ten kinds of mother flower series, such as icing on the cake, King of Strange Flowers, Family Huan (descendants of Yan Huang, Shenzhou Peony), Mother and son Tour, spectacle of Datang, Jiudingqi, love between mother and son, deep affection between mother and son, Mercedes-Benz peony, first generation Tianjiao and so on. And this big family is still adding different varieties (some varieties may be synonymous).

The biggest feature of this series is that each scape has both large flowers and small flowers or a number of small petals and tongues, most of which are plaid flowers, florets are strange flowers, butterfly flowers, petals and tongues are numerous, scattered and unique.

Among them, the icing on the cake is one of the most popular lotus petal orchids in Yunnan Orchid City in recent years.

This product went down the mountain in February 2001. five seedlings, young and old, were purchased by Huang Demin of the Orchid Family in Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, with 3 scape flowers, each flower derived from a very small twin flower. After a week on the pot, the twin flowers gradually grew up and bloomed, with up to 17 petals, butterfly petals and chrysanthemum petals in one body, so it was named "icing on the cake". The following year, 4 seedlings were distributed to other orchid friends with 150000 yuan per seedling.

This product plant height 30-45cm, leaf width 0.5-0.7cm, leaf oblique, leaf tip slightly drooping, leaf bud powder white; bud white-green, flower stem thick, leaf flowers, blooming around the Spring Festival; each normal large flower, each large flower style gradually grow small petals, small flower tongue, unexpectedly phase out, and then open, grow up, magnificent.
