Chapter Eighty-Five: Strange Flowers and Plants

Yang Fan came to a stall selling flowers, in addition to fresh, blooming flowers, there are also some handicrafts, such as flower umbrellas, lanterns, vases, etc.

In addition to him, there are many old people lingering in it, and it seems that they all want to pick up cheap. This stall is relatively large, and there is a lot of space inside.

He didn't immediately squeeze in to join in the fun, but stood outside and admired some strange bonsai and the like.

"This is flying duck orchid, imported from Australia, very popular, and it is not common in Australia. Would you like to buy one and go back?" asked the proprietress with a smile.

Yang Fan saw that the side of its flowers looked like a little duck flying in the air, very vivid, shook his head, he just looked at it, he didn't have the leisure to raise flowers and grass, that was what the old man did.

If his idea is known by others, it will definitely attract complaints: it seems that the antique hunt is also something that the old man does, right?

When it comes to Australia, many people think of koalas and platypus, but in the hearts of those who love orchids, they think of Australia's unique orchids. Australia not only has a platypus that looks like a duck, but also an orchid that looks like a duck, which makes people admire the miracle of the creator.

"Is this grass, or is it not blooming?" Yang Fan asked, pointing to a pot of weed-like plants. If you find something else, it hasn't bloomed yet, and you have to be a little dazzling when you put it out.

"Oh! This is a lighting grass, it glows at night, I haven't heard of it, have you?

This is a kind of lamp grass in the African grassland, with silver frost-like crystal beads on the leaves, which sparkle at night and illuminate the surroundings very clearly. Local residents use it as a "street lamp" on the doorstep of the house.

Yang Fan sweated for a moment, he really hadn't heard of glowing grass, this world was really crazy.

"If you have a big family and don't have children, you can consider this. "The hostess introduced.

Yang Fan saw that it was a plant more than one meter high, with some pink flowers on it, and he didn't find it very good-looking, or Yang Fan didn't have the cells to appreciate flowers! Flowers and plants, for Yang Fan, it is better to look good than a strange word.

"Don't look at it as ordinary, this is the famous drunken flower, also called wood chrysanthemum. ”

The proprietress explained that this is also a flower species in Africa, but there is also a little distribution in Yunnan.

Its petals have a sweet taste, and as soon as you smell it, whether it is an animal or a person, you will immediately become drowsy. If you pick a slice and taste it, it won't take long before you faint and fall to the ground. Therefore, it is also known as the "drunken flower".

"I heard that this flower is that elephants will fall asleep when they eat it, I don't know if it's true or not. She spoke.

She was also idle and had nothing to do, and saw that Yang Fan seemed to be more interested in exotic flowers and plants, so she specially introduced some peculiar varieties.

And what is Charlemagne thistle, it has no above-ground stems, the leaves have thorns, basal, lotus-shaped, and when flowering, a flower leaf protrudes from the leaf cluster, and a large head-like inflorescence grows at the top.

The most peculiar feature of this flower is that it can report rain and sunshine.

When the sky is cloudy and when it is about to rain, many of the total bracts outside the inflorescence of Charlemagne's thistle will move upwards and inwards and hug them tightly, like a large bud with buds waiting to bloom. When the sky is cloudy and about to clear, its bracts stretch again, revealing disc-like inflorescences to welcome the warmth of the sun.

Several kinds were introduced in a row, and Yang Fan was eye-opening, this world is really wonderful.

In fact, as long as you think of mimosa, these plants are not so unusual.

At this time, a familiar voice came, Yang Fan's scalp exploded, and he turned his head to look, and it was really them.

"Your sister's, right? I said it was Brother Yang. ”

I saw Hu Wei walking over lightly, followed by Liang Mingjian, the guy was carrying half a bottle of wine, pouring two sips into his mouth from time to time, and then took drugs, squinting his eyes and intoxicated for a while.

When it was a drink, Yang Fan looked drunk.

"Why are you still here?" Yang Fan said helplessly.

He thought that both guys were gone.

"It's really strange what you said, we came to Dengfeng City, in addition to seeing the Cold Moon Knife, another important purpose is to see the flower and bird exhibition. Hu Wei said.

Well, Yang Fan really didn't know that the city's flower and bird exhibition was so famous.

"This brother is the first bottle today, right?" Yang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"How is that possible? Woke up in the morning and rinsed a bottle. Sooner or later, he'll die of drinking. I didn't even bother to say, "Rao is Hu Wei, and in the face of such a situation, he also seems to be powerless."

Yang Fan couldn't stand a foul mouth in his heart.

"Isn't there something wrong with your liver?"

Yang Fan doesn't know much about medical skills, but he has also heard that drinking too much alcohol will cause alcoholic liver, which is very troublesome and will not kill people.

Speaking of which, Hu Wei wants to scold his mother even more!

That guy has a physical examination every year, and there are some problems, but it has nothing to do with alcohol, so he doesn't understand, where did all those drinks go?

"You don't understand, in ancient times, there was cooking wine and appreciating plum blossoms, and today's flower viewing event, how can there be no wine, it's too disappointing. Liang Mingjian said.

This time, Yang Fan and Hu Wei had nothing to say at all.

The ancients cooked wine and appreciated the plum, three or five confidants, the cold winter wax moon, warm wine and plum blossoms to compose poems, very high and good. Look at you again, carrying half a bottle of wine, pouring it while walking, and it has nothing to do with elegance, what kind of system has it become?

What do you think, you're a drunkard and a madman, aren't you?

Yang Fan said that he is a normal person, and the generation gap between him and these people is really big.

"What do you see that are interested? Some of the flowers and plants are quite interesting. Hu Wei changed the subject and asked.

Just now, on the other side, he saw several Dharma orchids being robbed, one of which was more than 500,000 yuan! These people were much more crazy.

Their antiques can be preserved forever if they are careful. Flowers are different, they may wither in a few days, maybe they can enjoy them for a few days a year in the future, or they may only have a few days to enjoy them.

In contrast, people who play with flowers are much more extravagant.

In recent years, a bizarre orchid variety, Damoran, has risen to prominence and earned the reputation of "Kao". It is also known as the "Blessing Flower". Dharma Lan has a beautiful posture, it can be said that it is "a flower with a flower", and it is full of changes.

Damoran reproduces once a year, growing one bud at a time, and up to two buds. All adopt the inverted bud meristem. A mother plant of Damoran, after 10 years of propagation, can usually grow about 300 buds. So far, there are only about 5,000 buds of Damoran with commercial value in Taiwan, China, and the supply of orchid breeders is in short supply.

It is said that the Damoran can be divided into three levels, with the market price of the general grade being about NT$500,000 per bud, the excellent grade being 1.5 million yuan per bud, and the highest grade being as high as NT$19 million. Due to the soaring price of Damouran, it is difficult to find a flower.

"It's quite interesting!" Yang Fan also praised it hesitantly, he had already seen it just now.
