Another View of Orchid Appreciation

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

Generally speaking, orchids have three viewpoints: flower appreciation, leaf appreciation and plant appreciation. Orchid orchid, first ornamental flowers, flower fragrance, color, pattern and so on, orchids should be ornamental plants. Then there is leaf appreciation. Although orchids do not belong to the concept of contemporary horticultural flowers, their leaves are also worthy of appreciation. Orchids can enjoy leaves even if there are no flowers, watching flowers for a while and enjoying leaves for a year. Another viewpoint of orchid appreciation developed in the past decade is to appreciate the whole orchid, such as the vigor of dwarf species, the strength of dragon species, the strange change of crystal, and so on. These orchids do not focus on flowers, this kind of orchids even if the flowers are very ordinary, there are people to watch, of course, if the flowers are good, then its appreciation value is even higher. It can be seen that appreciating plants is also a point of view.

What I want to talk about is another point of view of appreciating orchids, appreciating buds. Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem chanting orchids: "planted potted orchids return to their hometown, and the heavenly home is full of rain and dew." At present, it is full of Lanya Zhuo, and I like the long climate in the mountains. " Lu you, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote an orchid poem: "the ice stream is cold and green, and the new orchid clump is red." Obviously, "Manba Lan Ya Zhuo" and "Xinfu Yahong" are also the viewpoints of poets to appreciate orchids and sing orchids.

Not long ago, the author followed the comrades of the Guangdong Satellite TV crew to Chaoshan, Guangdong Province for an interview. when I visited Mr. Yang Weigang, chairman of Lanbo in Chenghai City, when the reporter pointed the camera at him and the microphone approached him, I did not expect that the first thing he said was: "I like Lanya best." He pointed to the bud at the base of the beautiful potted orchid with flowers and leaves, and his point of view was not in the flowers, leaves or plants, but in the buds. He continued: "Orchid sprouts come out of the ground, strong, pure, vibrant, such as beads like jade, really intoxicating, I just like to appreciate orchid buds." In the field of viewing, the world of art is extremely broad, everyone can have their own hobbies, each has his own interest. As long as it is healthy, there is no need to play this and demote the other, so that everyone has a spiritual freedom.

Indeed, Lanya also has its own place to watch. Some are like ivory carvings, some are like pearls, some are like agate tips, and some are like emerald jade. Most of them can give people a feeling of purity, jade moistening, sturdiness and elegance. Lan Gui Xinxin is full of vitality. Those who are very pure of orchid buds, that is, those who do not contain any miscellaneous colors, can often produce vegetarian flowers, that is, flowers of pure color, without miscellaneous spots, blocks, lines, etc., or white flowers, or flowers of lycopene, lutein, chlorophyllin and so on. In short, they are solid-colored flowers. Its bud color is often similar to the flower color, red buds open red flowers, white buds open white flowers, but there are also red buds with plain white flowers, such as red bud in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. There are always exceptions, and so is Ylang. Blue buds are either pure or pointed, some like knife tips and some like peanuts. The orchid family often likes to plant orchid buds like peanuts, thinking that they may blossom in the future, or lotus or plum, which will look better than ordinary orchids. Therefore, observing the color and shape of orchid buds is also one of the keys to orchid seed selection and breeding. The Orchid family also studied this.

Every spring, when the orchid is listed, the stalls are filled with all kinds of newly picked orchids. Buyers often look at the orchid buds of these orchids, and some even use a magnifying glass to carefully examine the orchid buds in order to find and foresee them. This is the only one who is noticed by Lanya. However, except for a very small number of orchid families who can see it accurately and have a very good prognosis, and buy orchid seedlings with excellent blossoms in the future at a low price, most people are still not sure, thinking that their buds are very good, but only ordinary flowers will bloom in the future. Check it out here. Hope and expectation, shrewd foresight and careless misselection are also full of philosophy of life, which is even more painstaking than choosing a "successor" and choosing a lover. Lanya's misleading is sometimes more dramatic than interpersonal misleading. As the ancients said, "what is born is ugly." I think this is just an observation of animals, you see, those kittens and dogs, some eyes are not open, some skin knot, squeak, how ugly, when they grow to the stage of development, young boys and girls, handsome men and women, only beautiful. But this is not the case with plants. New buds and tender seedlings are often beautiful and beautiful when they come out of broken shells or stems. For plants, it can also be said to be "the beauty of newborn things".

Although plants and animals belong to living things, their performance is often quite different, such as those born in animals are often ugly and those born in plants are often beautiful. In addition, animals tend to conceal their reproductive organs (whether female or male), such as growing in a more hidden place. This is not the case with plants, which tend to show their reproductive organs (flowers, ovaries, pistils, stamens, fruits, etc.), such as in the most conspicuous place or in the most conspicuous form. Plants are much sexier than animals ecologically. Instead of watching the reproductive organs of animals, we all appreciate the reproductive organs of plants, their flowers, their pistils, stamens, and so on. Isn't it strange. One of the viewpoints of appreciating orchids can also be orchid buds, which is also reasonable from the ecological characteristics of plants, and can also become a consensus among orchid friends.
