Pattern appreciation

(1) Plum valve: the outer three petals are short, round, thick and symmetrical. Shaped like a plum blossom, holding the petal from the pocket, with a white head and holding tight, the lip is stretched, firm but not curled back. Song Mei is typical of plum petals.

(2) Lotus petals: the outer three petals are thick, broad and moist, shaped as lotus petals, with the roots at an angle. Holding the flap can not afford the pocket, like a slightly open clam shell, the lip is wide, both in front and back. The flower pattern is divided into large, medium and small, with the same lotus and other large lotus petals, the global lotus tripod is a medium-sized lotus flower, and the lid is a small lotus flower. The same load and cover load are typical of the valve.

(3) Narcissus valve: the outer three petals are longer than the plum petal, and the end of the petal is slightly pointed, with a deep pocket or light pocket, and the lip flap is drooping or curled back, represented by Wang Zi Yi Pin.

The varieties of daffodils include plum-shaped daffodils and lotus-shaped daffodils.

The characteristics of plum-shaped daffodils are as follows: the outer three valves are slightly longer than the plum petals, the main and secondary valves are tighter, and the main valve is especially obvious. Lift the flap from the pocket or lift the micropocket. Xishen and Cuiwen are plum-shaped daffodils.

The characteristics of lotus daffodils are as follows: the outer three petals are wider and similar to the lotus petal, holding the petal from the pocket or micropocket. Dragon characters and daffodils are lotus daffodils.

(4) odd petals: where the lower part of the outer side lobe and the upper lobe evolve into a lip shape, or the petals are multi-petals, missing petals, or multiple lip petals are called odd petals:

1. Butterfly valve

There are two types of butterflies.

The lip of the lower part of the sidelobe is called the outer lobe. The labial flap goes deep into the accessory lobe in 1 stroke and 2 places, which is called the whole flap. The whole butterfly with two side lobes turned back is called Feifei, which is a good species of butterfly petals, such as colorful butterflies and small butterflies. Under the side lobe, the narrow or intermittent lip flap is called semi-narrow, and the outer three-petal and the long-narrow half-butterfly are called grass grass, which are not very ornamental and rarely leave seeds.

The odd petal with two labial palms is called the lizard, also known as the butterfly. Historically, the butterfly has not been valued, so there are fewer species left. Recently, more attention has been paid to the discovery of species in China, so a large number of butterflies have been found, especially in Zhoushan area in recent years. From the point of view of appreciation, the outer "should be higher than the inner".

two。 Multi-lobe

The number of petals (including lip petals) exceeds six, reaching seven, eight or even dozens of petals, collectively referred to as multi-petals. For example, green clouds, Yu butterflies and so on, the number of such petals is the same every year, and there is no definite flower pattern. However, the outer petal type remains the same, such as the green cloud is the lotus type, and the remaining butterfly is the bamboo leaf type. Most of the multi-petal new flowers are unstable and easy to change, so there are generally few new species except the old ones. In recent years, it has been found that chrysanthemum petal multi-petal type, peony multi-petal type, such as Thousand Island flowers, multiple butterflies and so on, petals such as chrysanthemum grow up layer by layer, and there are more petals than traditional multi-petal flowers. This kind of flower has attracted the attention of orchid friends at home and abroad.

3. Many lips

The number of outer three flaps and holding flaps is complete, and the labial flap has more than two flaps, which is called multi-lip or multi-tongue. This kind of flower is rarely planted because it is unstable, and its shape is not correct and unsightly.
