Miscellaneous Notes of Lan Feng Tang-Pinghe

Among the flower selection criteria of spring orchids, the lotus petals are the most stringent, and the old lotus petals are still numbered up to now, which shows the rigor of the old method. Next, I would like to talk about my understanding and experience of the old law in terms of the evaluation method of Chunlan selection.

The main results are as follows: (1) Valve: the root of the outer three valves is at an angle, the position of the three valves is obviously thinned, and the middle and posterior part of the valve is obviously broadened toward the end of the valve, and the width of the valve is half or slightly more than half of the length of the valve. From the middle of the valve to the tight edge of the end of the valve, to the tip of the valve abruptly, put the sharp angle. There is also the angle of the lotus valve seems to be absent, if there is no obvious angle, it can be called the group valve. However, the tight edge of the lotus valve is very different from that of the plum valve, and the tight edge of the lotus valve is generally caused by the thickening of the outer valve.

(2) holding: the holding flap is short and round, and the position of the holding flap is also obviously thinned, the middle part is broadened, the head is round, and the ratio of length to width can also refer to the outer petal. If the holding edge is tight, the holding valve is round and convex like the mouth of the clam, and the clam shell is better.

(3) tongue: the tongue is large and round, the big round tongue is the best, the bangs is the second, the red spot is the best, the tongue should be white and the red spot should be bright.

(4) quality: the petal quality of lotus petals is very important, thick waxy is the first, petals with good flesh will open gently, and when they fall to the ground, they will crack.

(5) scape: the scape of the lotus flower is slightly thicker and shorter than that of other petal types, but if the grass is strong and the pre-flowering technique is in place, the scape can also be raised.

(6) Product: the opening product should be round and straight. In general, the outer three petals of lotus flowers are equally arranged, but if the width of the side petals is up to grade, it can still open a flat shoulder, which is just as good-looking. The middle nest is open in the circle, like the heart of a man. The best opening of lotus petals, such as the green cover, the outer three-petal arch into a circle, the middle nest into a circle, the opening product is like a big ball to protect a small ball, evil spirit is good-looking.

(7) Shou: Lotus petals can not just look at the initial products, the flowers must bloom for a long time without deformation or become less, if the more ugly it reflects the bad muscles and bones of this flower.

(8) Color: the old method chooses flowers to be green first, followed by muddy color. At present, the choice of flowers can be pure color, net green is valuable, but other colors as long as clean and gorgeous are also top grade.

(9) Type: those with sufficient quality but not enough shape can be called load type, and it is also desirable.

(10) shape: if the shape is sufficient and the quality is not enough, it can be called lotus shape, which is also desirable.

The above are all seen by individuals and are for reference only. Welcome to correct and add. Thank you.
