Not only did he not know him, Sun Honghui felt that these orchids were beautiful and unique.

For example, the orchid next to the phalaenopsis is not big, but it is about thirty or forty centimeters, but people can't take their eyes off it at all.

Its long leaves stretch out on both sides, six or seven on the left and right, the flower stalk sticking out of the middle door is slender and emerald green, and the orchid blooming at the end is pure white with a little light green on the edge, which is full of elegance.

Its petals are slightly slender and heavy, like white jade pieces inlaid on the calyx, and the petals are star-shaped like other orchids, rich in texture and very beautiful.

The most surprising thing is that the 'long whiskers' of seven or eight centimeters at the base of the upright lip flap under the petals hang down, and the shape is very peculiar.

"Mom, why do these orchids have whiskers? It's weird. A little girl asked, pointing to the spacing under the orchid.

The mother of the "......" child was apparently asked.

It was also the first time she had seen an orchid like this, and she looked around, and finally found the sign that stood on top of the fern.

"Central African comet orchid, native to tropical Africa, is an epiphytic orchid and a hybrid. The comet orchid is named after the tail that resembles a comet with a long flower spacing.

The dam is a descendant of Darwin Orchid (longest flower spacing), and the sire is a native species of stemless comet.

This hybrid breed continues some of the characteristics of the female parent, with an elongated flower spacing on the lip and nectar hidden at the bottom, which is convenient for pollination by matching insects.

The orchid is a new variety developed by the W City Research Institute, and is currently unique to the Flower Gate Collection Botanical Garden. ”

After reading this, the child's mother lowered her head and explained: "You see, this whisker is called flower spacing, which contains nectar and is used to pollinate insects, and only after pollinating orchids can they reproduce." ”

"It's like your mother gave birth to you."

"Uh-oh." The little girl nodded heavily, "Orchid Ma Ma is so hard, I hope the insects will help it more." ”

Everyone around her was amused by her fairy tales.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his 50s, looked at the little girl kindly: "Now the pollination of the Central African comet orchid is no longer so difficult, it has been able to be pollinated manually, but it will take many experiments to succeed, and even so, it is a rare breakthrough." ”

Rather than explaining to her, it's better to sigh to yourself.

The little girl tilted her head, not understanding.

She quickly withdrew her gaze from the grandfather, and tried to stand on tiptoe, staring at the beautiful and strange orchids with wide eyes.

She also wanted to reach out and touch the orchid whiskers, but unfortunately she couldn't reach them.

Between the orchid area and the fence are dense and lush ferns, which are not only part of the landscape and ecology, but also a natural barrier.

The stake was placed in the innermost part of the orchid section, and an adult could only reach the middle door with his arm outstretched, and there was still a long way to go from the thick stake, not to mention the orchid sticking out above the stake.

It can be viewed from a distance and not blasphemed.

This is a means for Ye Han to protect orchids, which can not only ensure the ornamentation of tourists and feel the original ecological experience, but also will not let the precious orchids suffer a trace of damage.

A middle-aged man in his 50s has been standing here, looking intently at these blooming comet orchids.

alongside

Tourists came and went, passing by batch after batch, but he was motionless in front of these orchids, looking both emotional and excited.

This middle-aged man is Guo Yuanjiu, the expert who sent the comet orchid to the flower gate at the end of September and instructed Ye Han to take various precautions.

Thinking that as a private botanical garden, Huajian Menji wanted to introduce the results of the research institute, and these experts also personally investigated the environment here, and all kinds of conditions were met before sending orchids.

Guo Yuanjiu still remembers telling Ye Han that these orchids are very delicate, they are extremely sensitive to temperature, they need to be kept above 25 °C all year round, and the humidity is kept above 80%, and they must provide sufficient nutrients to bloom......

However, after a few months, when he came to check again, he actually saw the comet orchid blooming.

It's really rare.

In just over two months, orchids placed in other botanical gardens may have just adapted to the changing environment, trying to absorb more nutrients to maintain growth in order to survive the first year of transplanting.

However, the comet orchid here has already bloomed!

Guo Yuanjiu never imagined that these five 'Central African Comet Orchids' would bloom this year.

According to his estimates, with abundant nutrients, there is a certain possibility of flowering next year, but it is not high, only about 30%; Most likely, it will bloom in the following year, or if it has been carefully cultivated.

The Flower Gate Set was completely unexpected.

Of the five comet orchids, two of them are in full bloom in December, and the remaining three are also ready to move, with flower buds wrapped in sepals at the end of the peduncles, which are expected to open in another week or two.

And they are all very well raised, Guo Yuanjiu carefully observed these orchids, and couldn't help but smile.

At the beginning, the little orchid of more than 20 centimeters grew taller, and the number of leaves also increased, all of them were nearly 20 centimeters long, fat and moist, verdant and dripping, and they were in better condition than when they were in the research institute.

He had been standing here as if he couldn't get enough of it, and his heart was filled with endless relief.

The introduction of several precious Central African comet orchids into the Huajian Menji Botanical Garden was the most correct decision made by the Institute.

The Flower Gate Collection lived up to their painstaking cultivation, and the little orchids also grew extremely well, so he was relieved.

……

After Sun Honghui saw the introduction of the Central African Comet Orchid, it was an eye-opener.

Flower pitch... There are such orchids.

The comet orchid not only has a peculiar appearance, but also has a very strong fragrance, and visitors can smell an elegant orchid fragrance as soon as they get close to it, coupled with the fresh smell brought by the grass and trees, which is extremely good.

After Sun Honghui felt the rich aroma, he walked a few steps forward with the flow of people.

There was also an orchid in front of him that was blooming, the same species he had never seen before.

The petals of this orchid resemble a white phalaenopsis, round and full, elegant and natural, and the petals are dotted with subtle lilac spots in the center, like patterns on butterfly wings, gently swaying with the breeze blowing in the greenhouse, like a butterfly flapping its wings, very beautiful.

However, the shape of the lip at the base of the flower is very strange, like a pocket, two or three centimeters deep, and it must be a surprising orchid variety.

Sun Honghui picked up his phone again and took a picture of it.

The orchids in the flower gate collection are really peculiar, one has a long flower distance and the other has a pocket, which makes people have to sigh at the magic of nature.

He looked around and found an introductory sign near the stake.

"Dream Orchid, Orchidaceae, hybrid.

The orchid is named because the lip at the bottom of the flower resembles a pocket, also known as the slipper orchid. The function of the 'pocket' is to attract insects to pollinate and let the insects turn around a few more times in it, thereby increasing the success rate of pollination.

I see, I have a long knowledge.

Sun Honghui also took pictures of the introduction board, looking at the elegant and beautiful orchids that 'grow' on the wooden stakes, and felt more and more worthwhile.

If you don't come to the flower gate, these strange orchids may not be seen for a lifetime.

Especially the orchid, he checked the information, and it was actually a national first-class protected plant.

The flower gate collection is really getting more and more powerful, and even such a precious variety is available.

*

Continuing to walk, Sun Honghui saw signs marked 'Tropical Rainforest Area', 'Insectivorous Plant Area', and 'Water Lily Pond' next to the arch bridge in the orchid area, pointing in different directions.

After appreciating the peculiar orchids, other tourists can choose the viewing spots they want to go to according to their preferences, which is a good way to divide the crowd and have the fun of walking in the jungle.

Sun Honghui looked around, and under the fence and fence were paved paths with walking stones, tall tropical plants and rockeries obscuring the scenery opposite, accompanied by the fog in the air, which inexplicably added a bit of mystery.

Below, with the murmuring of water, stone bridges and wooden boardwalks, he stood in front of the signs, feeling like he was choosing a direction in the forest.

He glanced at the sign and decided to go to the water lily pond in front of him, and go around the opposite side from the back, without missing a single scene.

Water lily pond, I don't know what kind of water lily the water lily pond is here.

With a hint of anticipation, he walked across the five- or six-meter arched bridge and came to another water lily pond amid the sound of the water.

I didn't expect that there are so many tourists here, and the water lily pond is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

Many tourists are taking pictures with their mobile phones, and the admiration is endless.

"Oh my God, it's a two-color water lily! ()" A girl sent a voice to her friend excitedly, "Did you see the picture you sent in the past, there are two-color water lilies blooming here in the flower gate——? ()_[()]?『 Come[]& See the latest chapter&Full chapter』()"

"The breed is called 'Wanvisa' and has won the World Water Lily Championship. The probability of it blooming a two-color lotus is 1 in 50,000! ”

"It's really super good-looking, ahhhh

……

Sun Honghui walked along the flow of people, and took advantage of his height to faintly see a red and yellow intertwined shadow in the water lily pond

, but not clearly.

Fortunately, there are many attractions in the exhibition greenhouse, and there are reminders from the intelligent system, and many tourists go to the next landscape area after admiring the water lilies, giving him the opportunity to enter the inner circle.

Five minutes later, Sun Honghui finally managed to squeeze into the crowd and stand in the second lap of the water lily pond.

The water lily pond here is nearly a third smaller than the entrance, and at the right temperature, most of the 50 marvisha water lilies are in bloom, with overlapping green leaves covering the water.

The 'Wanvesha' water lily is bright red, some are orange-red, and the petals are blooming layer by layer, the flower type is larger, and the color is bright

() Rubies scattered in the water.

And in the center of the pond is a water lily with a difference, not a single color, but an extremely rare two-color.

Its left half is orange red, the right half is golden yellow, the petal color is bright, the veins are clearly visible, two different colors are just separated from the middle door, such as a straight cutting line to divide it into two halves, it is distinct, it is called "Mandarin Duck Lotus".

The bicolor of Vanvisa is a mutation phenomenon that cannot be controlled by humans, so it is very rare, with only a 1 in 50,000 probability of appearing in a bicolor.

But the most rare thing is that the two colors of this marvisa in front of me are just right, each accounting for half of it, and even the number of petals and the amplitude of blooming are exactly the same, such a perfect mutation phenomenon is even rarer than two-color, it can be called unique!

With a 1 in 50,000 probability X uniform bicolor, the probability of which is infinitely close to 0, and no one has ever been able to breed such a bicolor water lily.

These 50 'Wanvisa' water lilies are used by the S City Botanical Garden to exchange for the varieties of king lotus, which were originally unique to the S City Botanical Garden and are very precious.

It is jointly cultivated by Thai water lily experts and Japanese water lily experts, and enjoys the title of "World Water Lily Champion".

As the only cultivation base, the S City Botanical Garden has cultivated nearly 10,000 'Wanvesha' water lilies, and the number of tubers has been even larger in recent years.

However, with such a large number of water lily ponds, only three bicolor lilies bloomed last year.

Among them, there are two purple-red petals, milky yellow radial stripes, not simple petals bicolor; There is only one true two-color flower, two-thirds orange-red and one-third yellow, but even so, it still attracts a large number of tourists.

However, Huajian Gate has only introduced 50 strains of 'Wanweisha' water lilies, but it has already cultivated a rare mutant bicolor, which is equivalent to increasing the probability by a thousand times!

Not only that, but it has cultivated the rarest uniform two-color 'Mandarin Duck Lotus', which directly rushed to the hot search on the first day of bloom, attracting tourists to flock to it.

In the early winter period when other scenic spots are depressed and tourists are scarce, the Huajian Gate Market is still hot, and the number of people is even more than twice that of the National Day Golden Week, which can be described as the envy of others.

The tourists who came here were all amazed by the beauty of 'Wan Viasa' and picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.

Wrapped in monochromatic water lilies, the only two-color water lily is located in the center of the pool, firmly occupying the C position and attracting the attention of the public.

The bright petals, one red and one yellow, bloom on the surface of the water, completely blooming, like a veiled dancing girl dancing in the lake.

When the veil is veiled, it is enchanting and charming, and when the veil is removed, it is holy and elegant, and the two faces are varied and radiant, worthy of the title of 'goddess of change'.

Sun Honghui stood as straight as he could in the crowd and, like other tourists, held up his phone to take a video of the two-color lotus swaying slightly in the water.

The two-color water lily is open, and the left and right halves gently shake at the same amplitude, and the clear water reflects the bright reflection of 'Wanvesa'. Like two two-colored lotuses standing opposite each other, orange-red and golden intertwined, lined with round green leaves below and slightly rippling around them, forming a delicate oil painting.

For a moment, Sun Honghui even felt that the picture in front of him was better than Monet's

"Water Lilies" is even more beautiful.

No, it should be said that it is another kind of beauty like no other.

There were so many tourists that he had to slowly come out of it and come to an open space to check the video he had just taken.

Sun Honghui knew that his shooting skills were not good, and he didn't know anything about filters, lighting, etc., but he really wanted to keep the scene that just amazed him.

Wan Waisha, as if even the name has a touch of exoticism, bright and colorful, heartbreaking.

Click on the video and take a look, but I didn't expect it to shoot well.

Perhaps the scenery of the Flower Gate is beautiful enough, when the sun shines through the dome, like golden pillars of light scattered from a high place, the petals of 'Wanveza' seem to be plated with a layer of golden light, and the combination of light and color is perfect, just like the work of a professional photographer.

He took a screenshot and set it as a phone wallpaper.

This visit to the flower door set is really eye-opening.

You can enjoy the hardy water lily 'Brilliant Brocade', countless white epiphyllum flowers, Chitlan's orchid with flower spacing and 'pocket', and the two-color water lily 'Wanvesha'......

Each plant made him feel new and shocked.

But I haven't been here for three months, and it's amazing that the Flower Gate Collection has developed to such a point.

It seems that I will come more often in the future.

The exhibition greenhouse is crowded with visitors, and the temperature is higher than outside, so it would be stuffy and unbreathable if you were in other places, but the greenhouse here maintains the temperature and humidity while circulating and replacing the air at all times.

The fresh air is constantly pouring in, contaminated with the fragrance of plants and trees, making people feel like walking in a forest with fresh air.

As soon as Sun Hongbin felt that the crowded crowd brought heat, he felt a cool breeze blowing, and suddenly the heat disappeared, his breathing was comfortable, and even his mood relaxed.

There were many tourists visiting the insectivorous plant area, so he followed the signs to the rainforest area.

Entering the destination, the first thing that catches your eye is the rockery of more than ten meters, the ivy densely wound on the rock wall, the slender emerald green vines wrap it, circle after circle, the hanging branches are twisted and twisted, uncared for, showing completely original ecological characteristics.

The waterfall flows down the rockery, and the water droplets splash down from mid-air blur the hazy mist, making it ethereal like smoke.

The surrounding greenery and ferns are stained with fine droplets of water, moss crawls all over the stone surface, and the plants grow more luxuriantly than the rest of the greenhouse, as if bathed in the abundant sunlight of the rainforest, growing and winding in the jungle.

Sun Honghui felt the difference.

Even though they are in the same exhibition greenhouse, they can have completely different feelings.

The white mist in front of me is misty, and the stream falling from the waterfall seems to soak the whole ground, the hot and humid breath spreads, the mist is steaming, and the feet on the ground are like stepping on the puddle, with the sound of muddy water.

However, when he looked down, there were no puddles under his feet, and the uppers of his shoes were clean, which was an illusion, but it was so realistic.

The sun above his head was a little brighter, and he could see mottled silhouettes from above, as well as the sound of insects chirping frogs and birds flapping their wings, which made Sun Honghui swallow his throat and unconsciously be alert to his surroundings.

Stepping inside, surrounded by tall tropical plants, obscuring the view,

Otherwise, it is a rockery waterfall and a layer of white fog (), and there is a feeling that you can't distinguish the direction.

Sun Honghui vaguely knew that there were other tourists not far awayツ()_[()]ツ『Come to [ ] ♀ to see the full chapter of the latest chapter ♀』(), but he couldn't see or hear clearly, it was like an isolated world, blocking all the excess noise, making people constantly wander in the reality and simulation of the scenery.

Traveler's banana broke away from the cramped space door of the office, moved into the most suitable growth environment, and rose rapidly under the action of plant nutrient solution, and now has grown to more than 6 meters, and the leaves stretch unbridledly, occupying a large area, covering the sky and the sun.

Sun Honghui stood beneath it, looking up, shocked by its massive blades and height.

Standing with it, he felt so small.

More than 6 meters tall does not sound like much, but a tree that is more than 6 meters tall gives a completely different look and feel than a herbaceous plant that is more than 6 meters tall.

The traveler's banana is an evergreen tree-like perennial herbaceous plant of the family Crane Orchidaceae, the traveler's banana genus, and even though it is so tall that it can even grow up to 30 meters in its native area, it is a grass rather than a tree.

The tallest grass in the world – traveler's banana.

Its petiole contains a lot of clear water, and travelers only need to make a small opening in the petiole position, as if they have opened a faucet, and the cool and sweet "spring water" will immediately gush out, which can quench the thirst of tourists, so it is called traveler's banana. ①

Its trunk is erect and clustered, without a distinct trunk, and more than 20 banana leaf-like leaves spread outward from the middle door in turn, forming an incomparably huge 'folding fan', almost equal in width and height, like an unfolded behemoth.

Whoever stands below will be amazed at how huge it is.

This is the tropical plant, they like the high temperature and humidity environment, in order to compete for the sun, rain and dew desperately grow upward, become a tall herbaceous plant.

Sun Honghui's Adam's apple swallowed unconsciously, and it seemed that here he could only tilt his head.

Turning around again, the nearly 4-meter-tall bird of paradise (Hewang Orchid) stands in front of you, and the traveler's banana belongs to the same family of Hewang Orchidaceae, a perennial herbaceous plant, without stems, the same tall, and the leaves are amazingly dense.

Its flowers have opened, the posture is like a crane, hence the name 'Crane Wanglan', in which the beak and wings of the bird are vivid, very beautiful, and people sigh that such a tall tropical plant can also bloom such beautiful flowers.!
