I love my hometown orchid.

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

In the beautiful Huangshan area, there are two kinds of cold-resistant orchids-- Chunlan and Cymbidium in southern Anhui. The landscape to the south of the river is our common hometown with orchids. In spring, whenever I climb the Lanhua Mountain, I don't want to go any more as soon as I sit down. I don't want to pursue where the "Peach Blossom Garden" is in the blue valley. I love my hometown orchid, and I also love all the fragrant orchids in China. I especially love Orchid and Hui in my hometown because they are very resistant to cold. Look, the little life, exposed on the top of the mountain in the depths of winter, endures the freezing of minus seven or eight degrees. What is this? It is a kind of strength of the quality of life, with the firmness and strength beauty of the survival character.

Culturally, artists often sublimate this category into a kind of spirit and aesthetic realm, such as the poet's chanting plum, the painter's green pine and so on. One early spring, I stepped on the ice and snow to go up the Lanshan Mountains. In the biting wind, Chunlan trembled with small leaves to blossom and give off fragrance. Seeing this scene, my heart welled up with waves of love and pity, but more admiration and admiration. In the sense of life and survival, I am not as good as orchids. Like the grass that reveals the snow, how can one not love it?

The beauty of orchid lies first in Yu Xiang. At first, the ancestors wanted to play with orchids, which must have been the trouble of finding taste because of the special aroma of the orchid itself. People compete for incense and jade from the small wild bee (the matchmaker of the orchid), and then to the toss of "the seeker all over the mountain corner". Until today, he is still digging mountains every day. Orchids will never know that their fame of "national fragrance" and "king incense" is now causing trouble, but it is very unusual. Orchid bursts of fragrance, seems to be able to moisten people's hearts, but also like to clear the surrounding air, how can not be described. This matter, I am not as good as orchids, it can smell good, but I do not know. The flowering of precious orchid is a special festival for orchid farmers, and this kind of good flower is the beauty in our hearts. I once remembered that it was also an introduced orchid. After waiting for more than three years, it finally blossomed. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night. Have no choice but to emulate the ancients, "late at night only afraid of flowers to sleep, so burn high candles according to red clothes." Unlike Old Master Su Gao Candle shining on Haitang, I took a picture of Suxin Chunlan. It is caused by the nagging of the woman, so obsessed with orchid, the obsession is hard to change.

In the past, although there were many wild orchids in southern Anhui, it was really difficult to find good orchids to introduce "beauty pageants." Nature is quite stingy. Although "Land Master" is so stingy, I have seen several better Chunlan plants in the 20 years since 1970. Some petals are like non-lotus, like immortal rather than immortal, petal quality and appearance are good, and the flowers are also large. The registered "Xue Nan Lan" and the remaining one fall into this category. Now these two orchids leave me a riddle: how big can they bloom? I still don't know. When going down the mountain, the residual leaves and roots of the three seedlings grow from the "chicken mouth" to the spring flowers of the following year, and the main lobe is 15 mm wide (this is obviously the original mountain flower that has shrunk). With the help of new cultivation techniques, can the main lobe be 16 mm wide? If it can, it will be a very interesting spring orchid. The orchid keeper still hides a layer of mystery in her love for the beautiful girls born of the "mountain gods". Knowing that they are the result of muddle-headed hybridization or accidental budding in the mountains, they are always attracted by the magic and mysterious beauty of creation. In Wuyun Mountain in Hangzhou, only one "green cloud" spring orchid has emerged for more than a century. Why can't we find a second one? Even similar things are nowhere to be seen. It seems that it is not unreasonable to pursue the magical and mysterious beauty of nature.

People who have always loved orchid have always attached importance to the beauty of orchid leaves. The elegant appearance of the orchid leaf is praised by the literati and the orchid people of all ages. Here, I would like to add from another point of view that the leaves of good orchids are linked to the master's heart at the beginning of the bud (flower buds are also very lovely). The small buds of orchids are so beautiful and delicate that they suddenly emerge after a night's rain. it's as exciting as a mother finds a baby's first breast bud. Since then, look at every day, small new green gradually upward in the green light to stretch the activities of youth, orchids, such as people, youth is the most beautiful. As the new leaves grow, there is a meticulous sense of tenacity among the protruding tendons in the light of the green leaves. The leaves of Cymbidium have the rugged beauty of the mountains, even the wild beauty of the mountains and forests. along the fine teeth, the leaves reveal that they naturally do not want to be bullied, which is more subtle than the cactus needled bees and butterflies. The cold feeling of the orchid leaves is not vulgar. The beauty of orchid leaves lies in the combination of rigidity and softness. How is the curve of the leaves and the firmness and softness combined into beauty? As long as you take a look at the "Orchid Picture" in our Wuhu iron painting, you will appreciate the charm of Chinese orchid from being vigorous, beautiful, concise and deep. I talk about the beauty of leaves from orchid style and flowers in my hometown. Here is a hash-up sentence to end: unsolved orchid fragrance asks the local language, known Tiehua Wu Tianshu.

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