Autumn is the most beautiful season in Jiuzhaigou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info because of the rare plants all over the mountains, will show colorful colors.

In particular, Norilang Waterfall is even more beautiful at this time. The sight of a white waterfall flying over the colorful cliff vegetation is like a white piece falling from the colorful clouds. It makes people feel trance in the intoxicating fairy tale world.

When Tian Feng and Li Wenya came here, it was also autumn. It is also the most charming time in Jiuzhaigou, and the same is true of Nuorilang Waterfall in front of you.

There are many tourists on the observation deck in front of you, not only looking at the beautiful and majestic waterfall in front of you, but also watching some precious orchids on display on the observation deck.

The orchid is a traditional flower in China. However, the precious orchid only refers to a few species of terrestrial orchids distributed in the Chinese orchid genus, such as Chunlan, Huilan, Jianlan, Molan and Hanlan, which are commonly referred to as "Chinese orchids". This kind of orchid is very different from the tropical orchid with large and colorful flowers, no eye-catching showiness, no huge flowers and leaves, but it has a simple and quiet, elegant and noble temperament, which is very in line with the aesthetic standards of the Orientals. It has been cultivated in China for more than 1,000 years.

Chinese have always regarded orchids as a symbol of elegance and elegance, and together with "plum, bamboo, and chrysanthemum", they are collectively known as the "Four Gentlemen". Usually "Lan Zhang" is used to metaphor the beauty of poetry and literature, and "Lan Jiao" is used to metaphor the truth of friendship. There are also orchids to express pure love, "the breath is like an orchid that does not change, and the heart is like an orchid that will never change", "find a confidant in Youlan, and talk about a dream of Xiaoxiang". In May 1985, the orchid was rated as the fourth of the top ten famous flowers in China.

Orchids have been cultivated in China for more than 2,000 years. It is reported that as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yue Wang Goujian has planted orchids in the mountains of Shaoxing in ZJ Province. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, orchids have been used to decorate courtyards. In ancient times, people mainly collected wild orchids, and as for the artificial cultivation of orchids, they began in the court. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, orchids were cultivated in the court and expanded to the private gardens of the scholar class, and were used to decorate the garden and beautify the environment, as described in Cao Zhi's poem "Autumn Orchids Are Long Slopes". It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the cultivation of orchid was developed to the cultivation of general gardens and flower farmers, such as the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty wrote poems such as "The fragrance of the orchid is far away, and the grass flows fragrant roots".

The beautiful Jiuzhai style, the charming lakes and mountains, the magnificent Nuori Waterfall, and the pots of beautiful orchids in front of you make all visitors intoxicated.

In this clearing, there is an observation deck dedicated to visitors to enjoy the waterfall. Normally, there are no flowers on this observation deck, just a wooden platform built in the middle of a waterhole to enjoy the waterfall.

This wooden platform, with eight sides, is taken from the meaning of eight exquisite sides, and the carved wooden railings on each side look very chic and beautiful.

Now in the center of this wooden platform, which is about 100 square meters, there are more than a dozen pots of precious orchids. These orchids come in a variety of colors and have strange shapes.

Tian Feng and Li Wenya walked through a flower garden together and followed a stone path to a wooden ladder.

"The orchid is on it, let's hurry up!"

Li Wenya walked in front excitedly, climbed the wooden ladder first, and soon arrived at the viewing platform.

Tian Feng then went up as well.

When I got to the top, I saw that there were already many tourists watching around the dozen pots of precious orchids.

These ten pots of precious orchids are isolated in a circular glass case. There were also two security guards in black uniforms standing next to them.

Looking at this scene, people feel how precious these orchids should be, and here, they have obviously become high-level VIPs.

Tian Feng and Li Wenya were also taken aback when they saw this formation.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Isn't it just a few pots of orchids! Do you need to be so nervous! It's a glass cabinet and a security guard, what are you doing? ”

When Tian Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help but muttered quietly. Because he really can't figure out how many pots of orchids are necessary, is it necessary to make such a big move!

"Don't mumble yet, let's go over and see."

Li Wenya was also taken aback when she saw this formation. However, she thought, since people attach so much importance to it, it can only show that the orchids in the glass cabinet are all precious and rare species.

As they spoke, they came to the glass cabinet together.

"This is a big-flowered Whelan, it's so beautiful!" As soon as Li Wenya arrived, she saw a pot of orchid varieties with yellow flowers inside.

Orchids don't have to be blue, they come in a variety of colors. The pot of big flowers in front of me is blooming with golden flowers.

Cymbidium grandiflora, also known as Steller's orchid, Himbillan and cicada orchid, is a plant of the genus Orchidaceae. Evergreen perennial root plant, epiphytic. The roots are stout, the leaves are clustered, and the banded leaves are leathery. The flowers are diverse in color and bloom for 50-80 days.

Orchid grandiflora is a general term for the varieties of orchids that have been cultivated through artificial hybridization and have bright colors and huge flowers. There are about 48 species of orchids, and there are nearly 20 native species used as hybrid parents, mainly epiphytes with large flowers and a small number of ground species.

Cymbidium grandiflora is an artificial hybrid of the genus Orchid. Since 1889, when the first large-flowered orchid variety was bred in the United Kingdom, in the 40s of the 20th century, a large number of interspecific and intervarietal hybrids were also bred in Europe and the United States. So far, there are nearly 20,000 cultivars of Cymbidium grandiflora, which are very popular in domestic and foreign markets, and have become a huge variety group of orchids.

The tepals of the large-flowered Whelan are 6, and the outer wheel is 3 sepals, petal-shaped. The inner wheel is the petal, and the lower petal is specialized as the lip valve. The fruit of Cymbidium grandiflora is a capsule, and its shape and size are often quite different depending on the parent or native species. Its seeds are very small, the embryo in the seed is usually not fully developed, and there is almost no endosperm, it is difficult to germinate under natural conditions, and the green varieties are mostly fragrant. The flowers are large, 6~10 cm in diameter, and the flower color is white, yellow, green, purple-red or with purple-brown markings.

"Precious orchid varieties - large-flowered Huilan. The market reference price is 300,000. Tian Feng walked up to him and also glanced at the precious orchid variety in front of him, and there was a placed card in it, which marked the market price of this orchid.

"No wonder it's so exciting, it turns out that the orchids here are all valuable treasures." Tian Feng looked at the price of this pot of big flowers Huilan, and he also explained why people paid so much attention to it.

"Yes! If it's not valuable, people can pay so much attention to it, and it's a glass cabinet and a security guard. Li Wenya echoed while admiring the beautiful orchids in front of her.

The two of them admired the big flower Huilan, and then came to the other side, and saw a pot of orchids, which felt very strange, and it was really a little scary to look at the appearance of the flower.
