Chapter 272: Junzilan
Luo Tong caught a glimpse of Sheng Qiwu's face, and couldn't help but be a little amused. This is the first time I have seen Sheng Qiwu so unhappy with a person, and at this moment, Luo Tong didn't think that the cause of the incident was because of her.
She frowned, and her tone was tactful: "I'm sorry, I have no intention of making a move on these dragon stone jade." The department manager of Hengyu Jewelry also came before, and I also answered the same way. ”
Seeing that Luo Tong was persuaded not to move, Wan Yifeng gave up. He thought that Luo Tong only had these two pieces of dragon stone jadeite, and besides, this was originally difficult for a strong man, and if he forcibly wanted to buy someone else's love token, it would not sound good to say it.
Seeing that Wan Xiang and their purpose of coming had been achieved, Luo Tong put away the small gourd and sat next to Sheng Qiwu to listen to them. What she likes most is to listen to others, especially when it comes to those strange things, the phoenix's eyes widen.
Wan Xiang is an orchid enthusiast, and he will be there wherever there is a flower show. No, he told Luo Tong about the Peony Cultural Festival he went to Luoyang to participate in in April.
The China Luoyang Peony Cultural Festival, formerly known as the Luoyang Peony Flower Festival, has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list since 1983.
In November 2010, it was officially approved by the State Council and the Ministry of Culture to be upgraded to a national festival and renamed as "China Luoyang Peony Cultural Festival", sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and the Henan Provincial People's Government.
Twenty days after the flowers bloom and fall, the people of a city are crazy. China Luoyang Peony Cultural Festival is a large-scale comprehensive economic and cultural activity integrating flower and lantern viewing, tourism, economic and trade cooperation and exchanges.
Such a grand event, Wanxiang will naturally not miss it. Although he loves orchids, he also likes the rest of the flowers. Especially the famous products of this peony, Wei Zi, Zhao Fen, Yao Huang, Er Qiao, etc., Wan Xiang is like a number of treasures, and Luo Tong is yearning for it.
How could such a grand flower festival be missed? Sheng Qiwu looked at Luo Tong's yearning expression, and had already decided that he must accompany Luo Tong to Luoyang for a walk this year. Speaking of which, the two of them haven't traveled together for a long time.
Speaking of this, Wan Xiang suddenly remembered something: "Xiao Luo, don't I see that you have a flower garden yourself? Are there any flowers that also open my old man's eyes?"
Luo Tong heard Wan Xiang say that he was in a trance, and Wan Xiang couldn't help frowning when he asked this. Since she came to Qingshui Village, she really hasn't raised any flowers and plants, except for the few pots on the balcony. But she couldn't bear to take out any of the pots.
Sheng Qiwu looked at Luo Tong's tangled expression and said with a smile: "Tongtong, didn't you bring back two pots of Junzi Orchid before? I saw that they bloomed the day before yesterday, why don't I move them down and give Mr. Wan the palm of his eyes?"
He and Luo Tong have been together for so long, so he naturally knows which are the treasures in Luo Tong's heart. When Luo Tong heard this, he immediately became brighter. "That's right, the Junzi Orchid is blooming, Grandpa Wan, do you want to take a look?"
Wan Xiang touched his beard but smiled silently, obviously acquiescing to Luo Tong's meaning. Seeing this, Sheng Qiwu got up and walked upstairs, and within two minutes, he came down with a pot of Junzi Orchid. After two trips back and forth like this, two pots of Junzi Orchid were placed on the coffee table.
Lycoris japonica, also known as Lycoris japphyllum and Lycoris macrophylla, is an ornamental flower of the genus Lycoris family. Native to southern South Africa. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, with a flowering period of up to 30-50 days, mainly in winter and spring, and also blooms around New Year's Day to the Spring Festival.
Prefer coolness and avoid high temperatures. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25C, and the growth will stop below 5C. Prefer thick, well-drained soil and moist soil, and avoid dry environment.
Monarch orchid has a high ornamental value, and is often potted in greenhouses for ornamentation in China. Dividing or seed propagation, cultivated in greenhouses around the country, with a variety of flower colors. Monarch orchids have a lifespan of several decades or more. Junzi Orchid is the city flower of Changchun City.
Before the 50s of the 20th century, the breeding of Junzi orchid in China was limited to asexual reproduction, that is, bud propagation, the speed was slow, and the varieties could not be improved. After the 60s of the 20th century, people began to artificially pollinate and sexually reproduce.
Changchun City has concentrated the Junzi Orchid in various parks in the Changchun Zoological and Botanical Garden for cultivation, becoming the first Junzi Orchid flower cultivation base.
During this period, through optimal hybridization, many new varieties of Junzi Orchid were cultivated one after another, such as: "Shengli", "Monk", "Ginger Oilman", "Yellow Technician", "Qingdao Big Leaf", "Round Head", "Short Leaf", "Flower Face" and so on.
These excellent varieties have laid a solid foundation for the development of Junzi orchid in China.
In the late 70s and mid-80s of the 20th century, lovers of Junzi Orchid in Changchun, Harbin, Shenyang, Anshan, Dalian and other places began to take out the good products of Junzi Orchid they cultivated and sell them in major parks.
For a time, a certain market scale was formed. Beijing, Shandong, Shanxi and other places have also increased the enthusiasm for raising orchids, raising orchids, and selling orchids.
Junzi orchid has successively entered some provinces and cities in southern China, forming a national "Junzi Lan fever". At this time, Junzi orchid treasures such as flower face series, short leaf series, round head series and so on have also come out one after another.
From the nineties to the beginning of the twenty-first century, a new round of Junzi Orchid boom began, and a large number of investments from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan among the masses entered the field of Junzi Orchid, and new varieties of Junzi Orchid continued to emerge, making a qualitative leap in the variety and quality of Junzi Orchid in China.
So far, China has formed five series of Junzi orchids, such as national orchid, Japanese orchid, finch orchid, horizontal orchid, and orchid. Among them, there are many third-generation and fourth-generation varieties.
The cultural taste of Junzi Orchid is also respected by people. Whether it is in the venue, in the park, in the office and at home, the orchid has become a common flower that has been prioritized, playing an important role in optimizing the environment, setting off the atmosphere and cultivating sentiment.
In terms of planting scale, Changchun, Shenyang, Anshan, Dalian, Harbin and other places have formed large-scale planting bases. In addition to Northeast China, North China, East China, Northwest China, Central South and other places have also begun to plant in large quantities, forming a certain scale.
The traditional classification method is to divide the orchid into two categories according to the direction of flowering: the lower-flowering orchid and the upper-flowering orchid.
The lower flowering gentleman's orchid, as the name suggests, blooms downward. The leaf shape resembles a sword, so it is also called "sword leaf lycoris". The leaves are slender, the leaf width is 4~6 cm, and the length can reach about 100 cm, which is also called "fine-leaved Junzi orchid"; the center of the leaf is thick, and the edge is thin; the leaf color is dark green.
It can be potted alone or in clusters. Its flower stem is slightly shorter than the leaf, the florets have stalks, and are arranged in an umbrella shape at the top of the flowers; each inflorescence has 7~30 florets, and the most can reach more than 40 flowers, which are funnel-shaped; it can bloom all year round, mainly in spring and summer.
The fruit ripens around October. When the flowers bloom, each small flower droops in the shape of a bell, just like bowing its head and smiling at people, so it is also called "smiling gentleman's orchid".
