Identify dry goods knowledge of blue petal type

Since the founding of Mr. Bao Wei Province in the early Qing Dynasty, the petal theory of orchids has been continuously perfected by many orchid scholars until Mr. Xu Qilou discussed in detail in his masterpiece "the Book of Lan Hui with one Heart". This book is difficult to understand, and now I learn from it. The explanation is as follows.

(1) Plum petal flower

The necessary conditions for plum petals:

1. The flower looks dignified, the structure is round, and the texture is thick and soft. The dignified appearance of the flower means that every part of the Corolla is not crooked and the layout is neat and symmetrical. In particular, the middle to the end of the calyx, nose and lips should not be twisted obliquely. The round knot of structure refers to the compact and symmetrical structure. With the base below the core column as the center and the length of petals or lips or sepals as the radius, the holding lips should be tangent to the inner circle and the three sepals should be tangent to the outer circle, so as to be full of the elegant demeanour and the meaning of plum circle. Thick and soft texture, refers to each part is thick, full of three-dimensional sense, fresh color but not old, can blow people's sense of beauty.

2. The calyx tip is broad and round, the calyx body is short (the ratio of length to width is 2:1), and the calyx root (base) is obviously thinned.

3. The tight edge of the calyx is strong, that is, the calyx margin contracts inward and curls.

4. The petals (holding) must be raised from the pocket, that is, the edge shrinks, rises, curls inward, or turns into a fist-like "hard hold".

5. The lip flap (tongue) must be solid, short and round, with a flat or upward posture.

Among the five necessary minimum conditions mentioned above, there are three of them, which should be strictly controlled. Otherwise, it cannot be called plum blossom.

If you have all four items, but only 4, that is, the petals (holding) do not have a pocket, but they are not plum petals, but they can only be called group petals.

If there are all four pieces of 1, 3, 4 and 5, but not 2, that is, the calyx tip is slightly pointed, the calyx body is longer, and the calyx root (base) is thicker, it can only be called plum petal daffodil petal, not plum petal.

The requirement for sepals of plum petals is mainly at the end of the calyx, that is, whether it is round and tight. If it is, it can be called; if not, it cannot be called. As for the length and width of sepals, 2:1 strength should be the best. If it is less than this proportion, its quality is naturally lower.

2 lotus flower

The necessary conditions for lotus petals

(1) the ratio of length to width of sepals must be within 2:1. The closer you are, the higher the grade is.

(2) sepals must have obvious angles and roots. This is an important sign to distinguish between lotus petals and bamboo leaf petals.

What is meant by putting a corner? The angle means that there is an obvious obtuse angle at the end of the sepals or on both sides of the middle of the sepals. Most lotus orchids have obtuse angles at the ends of zygomatic slices, such as Dafuigui, Global Lotus Ding and so on. But there are also some varieties in which the two sides of the sepals are angled, similar to diamond-shaped sepals, such as Fukuda Dahe and Taiji.

What is the root harvest? The root is gradually reduced to the calyx base from the corner, and the width of the calyx base is about 1 inch 3 of the width of the angle. There is a big difference between short roots, long roots and two ends of roots. The short root is due to the short calyx body and the large angle, such as the cover and Taiyuan lotus; the long root is due to the longer calyx body and the angle appears at the front end of the calyx, such as the high load; the roots at both ends are shown because the angle is in the middle of the sepals, such as the dragon word of the lotus-shaped daffodil petal.

(3) wavy protuberances are allowed at the center of the calyx tip, but the protuberances must be microbuckled inward.

(4) the end edge of the calyx must be tightened and rolled inward slightly, that is, the tight edge. If the edge is tight, it can only be called lotus-shaped daffodil valve.

(5) the petals (holding) are required to be broad, short round or slightly long round. That is, it requires that the petals are like half an empty clam shell, concave in and out, and cover the core column. It is better to hold the double arms close to the strict core column, "open the skylight" as the second; the petals are thin fan-shaped and have pockets, both are excellent products.

(6) the labial flap is required to be large in shape, allow to droop and roll back slightly. It is better to have a large round tongue and spread the tongue.

The coating of the flower bud (botany calls it the receptacle) has a strong color, and the petal shape of this flower must be stable.

3 Narcissus petal

The necessary conditions for Narcissus petals:

(1) the calyx is broad and approximately long rhomboid, the calyx tip may have a tip, and the calyx base should be thinned.

(2) the petals must have a pocket or a shallow pocket. It is very important whether the petals are raised or not. Only with a pocket can it be called a daffodil valve; if there is no pocket, it can only be called a bamboo petal.

(3) prolapse and microcurl of labial flap.

4-petal flower

The necessary conditions for petal flowers.

(1) three sepals, two petals (holding), must be short and end round or oval (oval).

(2) the lip flap must be short and round.

5 bamboo leaf petal flower

Necessary conditions for bamboo leaf petals and flowers:

Sepals shaped like bamboo leaves, banded, base thick and pointed. Calyx ends along tip; petals without pocket; lip size and shape regardless.

The petals of bamboo leaves are divided into broad and narrow. Narrow, that is, willow leaf shape, or willow leaf petal.

Although the grade of bamboo leaf petal flower is not high, it also has extraordinary ornamental value. Such as the following, are also popular.

(1) sepals, petals and lips are broad, emerald green in color, spreading shoulders and dignified flower appearance.

(2) the positive and negative sides of sepals and petals are colorful.

(3) those with broad, rhomboid sepals are often called lotus-shaped bamboo leaves.

(4) plain lips, that is, monochromatic, heterochromatic spots.

6 Chicken claw flower

The characteristics of chicken claw flower: sepals are shaped like chicken claws, the ends are long and narrow, and some calyx ends are hooked.

Although this valve type belongs to the lowest grade, it also has its unique elegant demeanor, which is pleasing to the eye.

(1) the flower shape is very large, with a normal flower diameter of 10 cm and 16 cm, and a flower diameter of more than 20 cm.

(2) the calyx shape is various and curvilinear. There are horse step shoulder, flat shoulder, flying shoulder, long drooping shoulder, dancing shoulder, reverse rolling calyx, folding crane main calyx, encircling calyx, it is really colorful.

(3) there are many kinds of support, such as scissors holding, cat ear holding, anti-curling holding, upright stick, clam shell holding, flying holding and so on.

(4) the labellum is large in shape and colorful.

Most of the lip flaps of chicken claw flap are long and wide, with various shapes, plain lips and colorful spots.

7 butterfly petal flower

The so-called butterfly petal flower is that some or all of the petals of the sepals of the flower become lip-shaped, which is called lip flower, commonly known as butterfly. It can be divided into three main categories:

(1) the sepal lip flower, which is the lower part of the calyx of the flower, or 1 petal 3, or nearly half, or more than half the petal flower. Recently, it has been found that all the lip flowers of the main sepals, such as the Cangshan butterfly with record number 063.

(2) petals and labellum flowers. Most of them are close to the labial flap, and there are also partial labial flaps on one side of the main calyx, such as the Bilongqi butterfly with entry number 03. There are even whole petals with lip petals, such as treasure island fairies.

(3) the calyx holds the whole labial flap. That is, in the same flower, the sepals and petals show full or partial labial petals at the same time. It's called the whole butterfly for short.

8 super petal flower

Hyperpetal refers to the unusual width of calyx and valve, or abnormal valve state, or abnormal valve state. There are generally three basic forms:

(1) the base of the valve is not thinned, but is as wide as the end of the valve.

(2) the base of the valve is wider and the end of the valve is wider.

(3) the valvular width is abnormal, and the valvular state is even more unusual.

Super petal flowers are naturally rare if they are equipped with short and round flowers, oversized lips, a shoulder or flying shoulder, or a strange shape.

9 peony petals

Outer wheel sepals such as chrysanthemum petals, the number of significantly increased, the number of petals also increased, and often showed lip petal. Such as Mo Lan in the national fragrance peony, Datun Qilin and so on.

10 chrysanthemum petals

Sepals, petals whorled, and the number increased, like the petals of chrysanthemum. Such as Mo Lan in the Kyushu color ball, Yu Butterfly and so on.

11 odd petals

What is the odd valve? Strange petals are also strange flowers. The various parts of the flower increase or decrease from the pedigree; the shape and structure of the second finger flower are strange; the color of the three finger flower is particularly beautiful; and one part of the four finger flower is mosaic like the finishing touch.

(1) the increase or decrease of valve number. The number of each part of each flower increases and decreases, and it must be basically similar to every flower on the flower, and the blossoms increase or decrease in order to be called a strange flower. Generally like its increase in number, and called multi-petal strange flowers, in order to send stupid prosperity; a decrease in number, should belong to odd flowers, but is understood as the meaning of recession, unpopular, the number of increased, there are some parts, or a few parts, or all the other parts of the reduction, mostly for a part of the reduction, or several parts at the same time, but can not be reduced to close to zero.

(2) there are four situations in which the strange form and the strange form are called singular flowers.

a. Some part of the flower organ is abnormal. For example, the main calyx is extra long and wide, and the lateral calyx is shaped like a ribbon; the lip is broad and long, like an apron; the core column is in love with the Buddha; the petals are shaped like Birthday Bun with Bean Paste Filling, like a bee and butterfly; and the lateral lobes are particularly raised, like many lips, and so on.

b. Several parts of the flower organ are metamorphosed together.

c. All parts of the flower organ are abnormal at the same time.

d. A female flower with a small flower stalk; a heavy flower with more than one flower on the flower.

(3) the beauty of color. One refers to the whole flower is particularly bright and beautiful, amazing; the second refers to a certain part of the right embellishment, particularly eye-catching; three fingers coloring strange, glowing each other, elegant charm, people linger. This kind of flowers can be called odd-colored flowers.

(4) allogeneic mosaic. Such as calyx or petals inlaid with crystal lines of different lengths, such as waterfalls; petals with symmetrical eyeballs; anther caps with a bright red dot or double bright red spots; beads inlaid with dragons on the lip petals, but also painted on various parts of the whole flower; and so on. It is called painting inlaid with beads and so on.

All in all, the odd petal can only be called a good flower if it has a sense of art, connotation, charm, and can enhance the sense of beauty; those who are disorganized, ugly, shady and without a sense of beauty will have no value.
