A detailed explanation of the concept of products and species of orchids

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

At present, the orchid research on Yilan has entered an unprecedented new stage. Orchid experts, scholars and other orchid lovers from south to north pay close attention to the new progress of Yilan research. According to the current situation, the art of Guolan is roughly divided into leaf art, flower art and form art. Leaf art focuses on the artistic characteristics of orchids, such as edge art, rotation art, chimera art, crystal art, line art and so on, while floral arts focus on the artistic characteristics of flowers, such as flower shape, color, flower quality, rhyme, fragrance and so on. forms and arts tend to study the biological morphology of orchids such as leaf shape and plant state.

In my opinion, any variety of magnolia has its own difference between "product" and "species". The so-called "quality" refers to the taste, quality, appearance and character of Yilan. The so-called "species" refers to the Yilan group with common genetic characteristics in ecology and morphology. In general, the "product" reflects the external appearance of Yilan, highlighting the relatively stable external quality of Yilan. The "species" reflects the internal quality of Yilan, and highlights the absolutely stable internal quality of Yilan. We hope that the three generations of Yilan will be conjoined or re-blossomed for three years, and what we are pursuing is the "species" rather than the "product" of Yilan. We are afraid that the exquisite Yilan is a flash in the pan, so we pay more attention to the "species" of Yilan.

Many people who are first involved in orchid affairs have investment risks because they do not have a clear understanding of the relationship between "quality" and "species" of Yilan. When they see orchids with outstanding appearance, they are eager to buy them, and once the quality deteriorates, it will cause risk losses. The reason why the smart Lan family "gamble" year after year to make money is because they "gamble" to win "recommendation" rather than "dumb grass." they keep an eye on Yilan, which has many conjoined seedlings and perennial flowers that share common ecological and morphological characteristics.

It is generally believed that "product" is a phenomenon, "species" is the essence; "product" is the external representation of "species", "species" is the internal quality of "product"; "quality" is the foundation, and "species" is the key; there is no "species" without "species". There is no "product" without "species". In a word, "product" and "species" restrict, influence, interact and transform each other, forming a complex and regular Yilan system. Judging from the general law of variety selection, Yilan, which now exists as a "product", is very likely to degenerate into a variety of common grass with no artistic characteristics, while Yilan, which now exists as a "species," it should still be a variety of Yigai Qunfang after a few years.

Judging from the special law of ecological and morphological changes of Yilan, Yilan, which now exists as a "product", may evolve into a "species" after a few years, a variety with stable genes and the same biological characters. Of course, Yilan, which exists as a "species", may also degenerate into genetically unstable "grade" grass. The purpose of our study of Yilan's "product" and "species" is to find out the general law with high practical value and great guiding function, so as to guide the orchid activities.

Under normal circumstances, Yilan, which grows naturally, has well-developed roots, has strong plants, has multiple seedlings, and reproduces flowers all the year round, is the magnolia in the sense of variety; single-seedling alone grass, old and weak diseased grass, artificial beautiful grass and occasional odd grass should only be classified as "grade" magnolia. The purpose of making these secret common sense public is to let orchid friends understand the basic essentials of variety orchid and gambling grass, come into contact with magical "species" orchid, and are not confused by "taste" grass.

Orchids, you are a good teacher on the way to raise orchids.
