Analysis of petal type of orchid

Carry forward the national orchid culture and spread the knowledge of orchids

one。 Plum petal

The plum petal, the outer three petal tight edge round knot, the middle palace masculinization strongly raises the pocket to have the white head, the tongue is comfortable but does not roll is the plum, the plum petal is about to bloom because of the masculinization, causes the outer three petal to have the white edge and the holding has the white head, the whole flower pattern looks quite like the plum blossom in the snow, the ancients' metaphor can be described as appropriate and vivid, the plum petal is divided into hard holding plum petal and soft holding plum petal according to the degree of masculinization, and it is divided into very hard holding plum petal and hard holding plum petal in hard holding. Extremely hard plum petals due to strong masculinity often hold petals and core column adhesion, the tongue is very small hard or gills without tongue, such a flower petal more floating warped, the pattern is very inelegant! We know that the strength of masculinity has a lot to do with flowers. The stronger the masculinity is, the tighter the middle palace is, and the worse the flowers are!. If the shape of the flower is tender and the outer petal is broad, it also has the value of appreciation, but most of the outer petals are warped, which has never been valued by Yilan family! The masculinity of the hard plum petal is slightly weaker than that of the very hard plum petal, which is mostly held by a hard silkworm moth with separate heads or shoulders, most of which are dragon swallowing tongue, small round tongue, etc., and some flower petals float slightly! The masculinization of the soft plum petal is more moderate, mostly for the five-fold nest soft silkworm moth, the outer three-petal round knot, the tongue is mostly bangs tongue, the middle palace is round, it is the boutique of Meizhong! The whole shape of the top-grade plum petals should be quite like plum blossoms, and it is rare to reach such a standard! The plum petal grass feels thicker and stiff, upright or arched, looks stiff, the bottom leaf is slightly in the middle, the carapace is hard and tilts out about 15 degrees, the hand feels needling, and when the carapace is not dry, you can see that the carapace has a white tip, such as millet grain size, glittering and translucent, which is very different from the grass tip of the flower, if you encounter the bright and sticky shell color, thin tendons and top, the sand is heavy and halo, and the color is light and deep. There is a green front at the tip, the short is big, the lower part of the bud is tight, and the round drum in the middle, such as peanuts and beans, is mostly plum petal! This requires everyone to observe more in order to make a quick and accurate judgment!

two。 Narcissus valve

The outer three petals are longer or round or pointed, the petals are masculine (at worst, there should be obvious white edges), and those with drooping tongue or slightly curling back are daffodils. According to the strength of masculinity and the length of the outer three segments, the daffodils are divided into four categories: plum-shaped daffodils, lotus-shaped daffodils, daffodils and floating door daffodils. The plum type daffodil is the middle type of the plum petal and the daffodil, and the western god plum is the typical one. As a matter of fact, as a wonderful product of the West, her masculinity in the middle palace is very weak, with only white edges, which is a typical pu fan, but the outer lobe of the West God is very short and round, and can even reach the degree of lotus petal. For the definition of plum-shaped daffodils, there must be one (outer valve or middle palace) to meet the standard of plum petal, otherwise it is difficult to call plum type! The outer three petals of the lotus daffodils are in the corner, the petals are raised with a masculine white head, and most of the tongues are rolled up slightly. The flowers of the lotus daffodils are elegant and refined, the middle palace is not tight, and the outer petals are wide, which are loved by the majority of orchid friends.

Dragon character is the representative of lotus daffodils! The outer valve of the daffodil valve is long or round or sharp, the two handheld pockets have masculine or white edges are obvious, the flap is separate from the state of non-adhesion, under the tongue or slightly rolled back, such as Chunlan Wang. Piaomen Narcissus is a new favorite in recent years, and its flower shape is very different from that of traditional plum immortals. But it is also regular, not seven warps and eight wrinkles, most of the floating door daffodils are held by cat ears, and there is a male pollen block in the middle of the petal! The five petals of many floating door daffodils have large tendons in the middle. When they come out of the shell, they turn out in the shape of a pomegranate. In fact, the big tendons in the middle of the petals play an important role in the direction of the petals when they bloom in the future. This kind of flower is most likely to be confused by beginners and line flowers! Many people think that a cat's ear is a floating door daffodil. In fact, the biggest difference between a daffodil and a flower is whether it is masculine or not. Most Piaomen daffodils have red dots on their hands, which is actually a concrete manifestation of masculinity! Beginners must observe carefully! Usually you should read more and learn more, so that you won't make a joke when you see the real thing! Narcissus is a subtype of plum petal, which belongs to horticultural varieties with masculine variation on the petal. The characteristics of grass and bud of Narcissus are similar to those of plum petal. Narcissus grass is soft and waxy, and the carapace is similar to plum petal. White head can also be seen on the unwithered nail tip of foot grass, but the bottom leaves are less than plum petals, and many daffodils have the same green color as plum petal, but the green color is slightly thinner. Plum petals and daffodils have a lot to do with flowers. If the green shell is petal-shaped and broad, then even if the petals are not wide at the beginning, they will widen after blooming, and the masculinity is heavier! If the green paste shell color is lighter, then the masculinity on the two handfuls is also weak, if the meat bract is longer, the petal must also be longer after opening! There must be both on the outside and on the inside! In addition, when distinguishing between daffodils and flowers, just take a look at whether there is masculinity on the bouquet! There is a daffodil, nothing is a row of flowers, no matter the outer three petals are wide or narrow! In the distinction between lotus-type daffodils and plum-type daffodils, the outer lobe of plum-type daffodils is mostly round head and long feet, the middle palace is more masculine and the tongue can be relaxed and not rolled, mostly bangs or Ruyi tongue! The outer valve of the lotus daffodil is slightly longer than that of the lotus petal, while the masculinity of the middle palace is slightly weaker than that of the plum type daffodil, while the tongue flap is mostly spread out for Guanyin, and the tongue is rolled back slightly. Or some artists think that it can also be distinguished from the red dot on the tongue. The red spot on the tongue of the plum-shaped daffodil is brightly concentrated, concentrated in the middle of the tongue as a dot, not scattered, and the red dot on the tongue of the lotus daffodil is mostly inverted. In this way, the identification is clear at a glance! But it may not be completely correct!

three。 Lotus valve

The outer three petals of the lotus valve are wide, the root is at an angle, and the end of the valve is thickened, and the worst length and width are less than 2:1, the two handfuls are not masculine in the shape of a clam shell or short round as a clam, the tongue is round and drooping or curls slightly back, and the tongue of the lotus valve is very strict. it must be a large round tongue, as big as the tongue, large spread tongue, or large Liu Hai tongue! The lotus petals are broad in the middle palace, and the flowers are round and rich. Many orchid friends are often confused when distinguishing lotus petals from lotus petals. Now many of the lotus petals in orchid books and pictures are lotus flowers, which are far worse than lotus petals! There is a difference between a word and a word. The identification of the lotus valve and the lotus type is mainly from the following aspects: first, the worst ratio of length and width is less than 2:1 after a week of full bloom, the closer the grade is, the higher the grade, the second is that the two handfuls of the lotus valve cannot have a tip, and the one holding the tip of the lotus valve is definitely not the real lotus valve. The real lotus petal guard is very good, it is still cuddled when it is in decline, it is not deformed, the petal is not elongated, the holding valve is always in the shape of a clam shell and cannot open the skylight, and the tongue is broad. The red dot on the tongue is brightly concentrated! The lotus petal grass shape is also very characteristic, the lotus petal grass is more broad and fish belly-shaped semi-drooping or oblique, the leaf tip is obtuse and round, the leaf shell is broad and thick and the petiole is still not loose when the plant is old, and the leaf quality is thick and waxy. An important feature of the lotus grass is that the bottom leaf is broad, the leaf tip is spoon-shaped and close to the plant, and it is still not separated when it is withered and yellow. The buds of the lotus petals are short, round and fat, with thick and top tendons, thick sand halos on the bracts, short, wide and full buds, and sparse between the tendons and tendons on the bracts! Although the cloak of lotus petal does not have the green color of plum petal daffodils, it has red sand and ordinary thick flowers. From the historical records of the lotus valve and the few real lotus valves selected in recent years, the fact that there is no place to ask for a lotus valve shows the difficulty of breeding lotus valve!

four。 Vegetarian heart

As a matter of fact, vegetarian heart is found in every product of Guolan, and it cannot be listed as a type alone. in history, vegetarian is the most expensive, and the highest grade of any petal type is vegetarian heart! According to the petal shape, vegetarian heart can be divided into plum petal, daffodil, lotus petaline, bamboo petaline, chicken claw element and butterfly element and so on. Whatever the whole flower is the same color or no matter what the outer petal is, as long as the tongue is pure and spotless, it can be called vegetarian! The selection and breeding of the vegetarian heart of Chunlan is very simple, as long as the white shell green tendons or green shells and white tendons are pure vegetarian (green shell green tendons are peach cheeks or prickles, not pure vegetarian). It is also wrong to say that all the elements are in the white tendons. Now there are a lot of red chitin (also known as colored chitin) that is not pure vegetarian! The shell of this kind of vegetarian heart is so bright that the more it goes inside, the more white sand it is, which is similar to the sand on the green shell. If there are green colors on the bracts of the vegetarian heart, there are many short buds, and the lower part is harvested, it must be Su Mei or Su Xian!
