The two of them made an appointment earlier, and the park has not yet opened, and there is not a single visitor at the door, quietly.

The L City Botanical Garden is famous for its peonies, which are at their peak in April, when they are at their most blooming, and are crowded with tourists from all over the country.

The temperature in the north warmed up late, 3-4 degrees lower than that of W City, Ye Han tied his coat and stepped forward.

Yan Rongxuan immediately greeted her when he saw her, and at first glance when he saw the other party, he was surprised that she was so young, and then quickly restrained his expression, and said with a smile: "Yuan Chang Ye, welcome." ”

Ye Han also smiled: "Hello Deputy Director Yan, I've kept you waiting." ”

"No, no, I've just arrived." The two exchanged a few words and entered through the entrance.

Yan Rongxuan looked at the quiet environment around him: "Now the temperature has just risen, and there are few tourists, unlike the Flower Fair, where so many tourists line up every day." ”

Although Flower Garden is a private botanical garden, the number of visitors a year is almost catching up with their old national botanical gardens, and it has only been open for less than a year.

Not to mention the cultivation of the Guinness World Record breaking the world record of Wang Lian and many rare plant varieties, which are famous in the industry.

Don't underestimate the other party just because it's a private botanical garden.

Ye Han smiled lightly: "By the time it comes to April, the tourists here will inevitably be full, and there will be long queues every day." ”

"That's right." Speaking of this, Yan Rongxuan was full of smiles, obviously honored, "Luoyang peony is the world, in April last year, the city received more than 12 million tourists, and the number of visitors in the botanical garden reached more than 10,000 in a single day, and the largest day received more than 30,000 tourists. ”

It was really crowded, and the crowd was dense and you couldn't see the end at a glance.

Yan Rongxuan: "Many tourists come for the 'silver silk through the top' peony, and there is only one in the whole Luoyang City, which is the treasure of our botanical garden. ”

Ye Han has heard of this.

The peony variety is very rare, different from other peony varieties, its central petals are slender, shaped like a chrysanthemum, silver white with a touch of light powder, in the sun like a thousand strands of silver thread through the top, with a unique beauty, the ornamental effect is excellent.

In addition, it is not easy to cultivate, the reproductive ability is low, and it is difficult to survive the branches, so there is only one 20-year-old finished peony at present. Other seedlings are still being cultivated, and the exact results are unknown.

It is said that last year, when this "silver silk through the top" bloomed, it was famous all over the network, and countless tourists came to visit, and when the flow of people was at its highest, they could only watch for more than 30 seconds in line for more than an hour, because there were too many tourists who came to watch.

There are 4 'guards with knives' on duty 24 hours a day, and the cameras at all angles are also aimed at the only genuine peony, lest it be damaged.

There is no doubt about its preciousness.

The L City Botanical Garden is very large, covering an area of more than 2,000 acres, which is 5 times larger than the flower set, and it may take two hours to walk in the past, so the two of them took a special sightseeing car to the peony garden.

Along the way, Yan Rongxuan introduced her to a lot of scenery in the park.

Due to the vast area, the L City Botanical Garden is divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D, and each area has several flower gardens or characteristic scenic spots: covering the peony garden, the waterscape garden, the Mulan Qiong garden, the Wanliu Garden, the plum garden, the lilac garden, and the begonia garden

, Baicao Garden and other 17 special parks.

In addition to the various landscape areas, there are different plans and layouts such as rocks, paths, pavilions, stone bridges, historical and cultural relics, etc., which are rated as 4A level and have pleasant scenery.

The construction and planning of this botanical garden must have cost a lot of money.

Ye Han looked out the window, and the layout here also brought some inspiration to the future development of Huajian Ji.

When the peach blossom forest, peony garden and rose garden in the garden are arranged, the flower garden will definitely be expanded.

The advanced tasks released by the system are also synchronized, and after the completion of the task of saving endangered plants, there will be a 300 acres of land reclamation planning rewards.

It is certainly not possible to plan four areas like the City L Botanical Garden with the current size and scale, but the botanical garden can be divided into the north garden and the south garden.

Many botanical gardens in China, such as the National Botanical Garden and the S City Botanical Garden, are divided into north and south.

North Park, which is currently about to be completed 450 acres.

It covers 11 landscape areas, including aquatic plant landscape belt, bamboo forest, cinnamon garden, pine and cypress garden, glass flower house (succulent), peony garden, rose garden, peach blossom forest, ancient tree area, exhibition greenhouse, swan lake, and lavender flower sea.

In this way, Ye Han found that there are still many scenic spots in the flower collection.

It is relatively compact and delicate, in line with the characteristics of the Southern Botanical Garden.

The South Park, which needs to be built in the next 1-2 years, takes Entrance 1 and the Science Research Museum as the dividing line, and extends backwards along the right side, corresponding to the North Park.

……

The sightseeing car was very fast, and after ten minutes, I came to the peony garden, and then drove along the path to the inside.

Ye Han gathered his mind and looked at the large peonies on both sides, the leaves are wide and verdant, the branches are thick, and the flower buds wrapped in sepals have emerged near the top branches, the shape is full, and tourists will definitely feast their eyes when they come next month.

After driving for 5 minutes, the vehicle stopped, and the two came to the front fence.

"This peony is a silver thread." Yan Rongxuan: "Now that the temperature is right, it is in the bud bud germination period, and it is expected to bloom in a month. Last year, 32 flowers bloomed, and this year it should not be bad. ”

Ye Han took a closer look at this precious peony.

The peony of more than 20 years is naturally not as amazing as the peony of 100 years.

However, it is also very luxuriant, the height of the plant is nearly 1 meter, the semi-open type, the coverage area can reach five or six square meters, the flower buds germinate and grow from the top, and the height is about 8 cm, the outer edge is light purple, and the top has not yet grown flower buds.

The silver silk top peony is a late-blooming variety, which basically blooms in mid-April, and the flowering period is only 10 days, which is very short, and tourists who can't see it can only wait for next year.

Ye Han has seen photos of flowers blooming on the Internet, and it is indeed amazing.

The inner center of the flower is pale pink, and the petals are inextricably linked, like countless silver filaments intertwined, with a kind of holy and elegant beauty.

Yan Rongxuan: "Behind it is the peony cultivation garden, which has also cultivated some silver silk flower seedlings in recent years, but unfortunately the survival rate is not ideal." ”

Ye Han followed him to the cultivation area.

Behind a giant sculpture and protected by a fence, the peony cultivation test field is full of flower seedlings of different varieties, a large part of which were planted just last fall.

These seedlings are only a dozen centimeters tall, but the leaves grow very large, shaped like goose paws, and are divided into three

The petals, the edges are unevenly split, and more than a dozen leaves cover all the stems below, which is obviously very short, but it makes people feel luxuriant.

Unfortunately, the other seedlings began to sprout and grow leaves when the weather warmed up, but the seedlings with silver threads at the top did not move, and only five sprouted in a large open space.

The stalks of these five plants are slender and the buds are small, hanging low, and they seem to have no intention of continuing to grow.

Yan Rongxuan stood aside and sighed, "This has been the case for the past few years, the seed germination rate is low, and it is more difficult for cuttings to survive. ()”

That is, there are no 3-year-old peony seedlings.

Ye Han squatted down, gently stroked one of the flower seedlings, and used his golden finger on it.

Silver Silk Piercing Flower Seedling: "Woo, I seem to be sick." The other seedlings have grown leaves, and I'm bare, so ugly QAQ? ()_[()]?『 Come[]_See the latest chapter_Full chapter'()"

It's a soft little milk sound, it's cute, but it sounds weak.

Ye Han Yuguang saw that Yan Rongxuan was checking other flower seedlings, so he whispered to it: "It's not ugly, the buds are also very cute." ”

The silver silk top flower seedling was a little happy, and then coughed uncomfortably: "But I want to grow leaves...... Whew, I don't have any strength in my body. Am I going to die like the rest of my siblings? ”

Ye Han looked at the small Miao Miao in front of him, and said softly: "No." ”

Yan Rongxuan walked from the front, Ye Han stood up at the right time, and proposed: "I see that these flower seedlings are a little dry, why don't you spray them with water?" ”

The temperature in March is low, the sun is not strong, and the water requirements of the plants are not high.

There are hundreds of thousands of plants in the huge botanical garden, and it is impossible to cover everything, except for the more delicate varieties, the rest are irrigated once every 5-7 days.

Counting the time, it is true that it hasn't been watered for a few days, it's just-

Yan Rongxuan thought that Ye Han made this suggestion only when he saw that the silver silk top flower seedlings were a little shriveled, and sighed silently, the reason was not here at all.

Peony treasures like this are already very delicate and difficult to feed.

However, Yuan Yuan Ye is also kind, so there is no need to refute the other party.

Yan Rongxuan: "I'll ask the staff to bring a watering can." ”

As the deputy principal, his work was very busy, and within a few minutes, he smiled apologetically at Ye Han and walked to the location he chose a little away to answer the phone.

Ye Han found the blind spot on the side of the sculpture, put the watering can aside, took out the plant nutrient solution he carried with him from his pocket, and poured a few drops into it.

These are diluted and have a very low concentration, which is just right for watering the seedlings.

She gives first

Several germinating flower seedlings were sprayed, and a fine mist of water was sprayed on the seedlings less than 10 centimeters, and they were quickly absorbed.

The little milk voice of the silver silk top flower seedling carried a hint of excitement: "It's so comfortable, I seem to have some strength, I don't know if I can grow leaves." ”

Ye Han: "Absolutely." ”

The silver silk top flower seedling shook the bud buds, and said softly: "I still want ......"

Ye Han couldn't help but bend his apricot eyes: "Okay." ”

She sprayed the seedlings again, and then sprayed the remaining half of the bottle evenly in the clearing.

Ye Han thought, I don't know if those seeds will germinate after a few months.

However, the plant nutrient solution in the watering can

() The concentration is very low, and with the large soil area, only one point can be distributed per seed... Probably not.

When Yan Rongxuan came back, he found that the soil on the ground was still very dry.

He looked at the empty watering can, maybe it hadn't been irrigated recently, and it was indeed a little short of water.

It was the five silver silk top flower seedlings that seemed to be a little more energetic than before, but after he looked at it a few times, he felt that it seemed to be no different from usual.

Yan Rongxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was really stunned.

How can watering have an effect?

Alas.

He sighed heavily.

Recently, the garden has been studying how to improve the survival rate of the silver silk top peony, which caused him to be full of this, and he couldn't help but think of it when he was a little troubled.

It can't be like this.

It seems that it is still necessary to rest more.

*

In addition to the newly grown flower seedlings, there are several 2-3-year-old flower seedlings.

They managed to survive, but their growth did not meet expectations.

The head is shorter than the next seedling, with slender branches and sparse leaves; Now there is still a month before the flowering period, but not even a flower bud has grown, so it is conceivable that it will not be possible to bloom this year.

In such a state, flowering may be far away.

Yan Rongxuan's tone was slightly apprehensive: "Yuan Chang Ye, the matter of cooperation, you see-()"

Who has never heard of the name of the two-color Wanvesa, the world water lily champion, the probability of two-color is 1 in 50,000, not to mention the uniform yellow and red 'mandarin duck bicolor', only two plants cultivated in China are set between flowers.

The degree of preciousness is not much different from that of the silver silk top peony.

However, the other party has photographed the appearance of water lily rhizomes, the root system is developed, the tubers are thick and powerful, the new shoots that grow are full, and the vitality is extremely vigorous at a glance, and it is expected that a single plant can divide 6-8 thick tubers!

It really made his eyes hot.

Such a quality, regardless of whether the two colors can be inherited or not, is a high-quality variety of Marvesha water lilies, which is very beneficial for future cultivation, research and reproduction.

On the other hand, the quality of the flower seedlings in their botanical garden is too poor.

When the time comes, I don't know if I can live if I transplant it to W City.

Ye Han smiled at him: "I'm here to talk to you about cooperation today." I have heard the name of the peony for a long time, and I hope to introduce this peony treasure into the flower collection, so that the citizens of W City can also see its beauty. [()]?『 Come[]*See the latest chapter*Full chapter'()"

Yan Rongxuan's expression was a little speechless.

A glimpse?

He smiled bitterly in his heart, I am afraid it will be difficult to see its face.

L City is located in the Central Plains, the climate, water and soil are the most suitable for the growth of peonies, if it is difficult to survive here, let alone other regions.

What's more, peonies need to undergo low temperature vernalization before flowering, and flower buds and buds will only grow for more than 60 days at a temperature of 0-10 degrees (or lower), and stop growing above 25 degrees.

Areas with high temperatures such as Liangguang and Hainan are not suitable for planting peonies, and only grow leaves without flowering.

Although the climate of W City is acceptable, it is not the origin of peonies, and the ornamental value will be greatly reduced after transplanting.

Plant height, crown width and growth rate will be affected, and the diameter of the flower will also shrink, from 20 cm to more than ten cm, far less than the peony atmosphere in Luoyang.

() As the saying goes, 'orange is orange when it is born in Huainan, and orange is orange when it is born in Huaibei', in fact, it is the same truth.

Yan Rongxuan finally reminded: "It is very difficult to cultivate this kind of peony with silver threads......

Ye Han bowed: "I understand." Will definitely take good care of them. ”

Yan Rongxuan saw that the other party did not change his mind, although he felt that it was not very equal, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Their botanical garden was keen to introduce the water lily variety, Van Viasa.

At present, only the Botanical Garden of S City and the Flower Collection have been cultivated in China, and if they are successfully introduced, then they will be the third botanical garden with Wanvisa in China, which can add a lot of color to the waterscape garden.

Ye Han: "According to the previous discussion, Hua Jianji plans to exchange 4 tubers of two-color marveza and 20 ordinary marveza (tubers) for two silver silk top flower seedlings. ”

Yan Rongxuan naturally agreed: "Of course there is no problem, you can choose the flower seedlings here." ”

Ye Han thought of the cute little seedling just now, and smiled, "I choose a 3-year-old peony flower seedling, as well as a newly cultivated flower seedling." ”

Newly cultivated?

Yan Rongxuan was stunned, this was completely different from what he thought.

I thought that the other party would pick two of the strongest flower seedlings, but I didn't expect the first one to pick one of the weakest.

Is it thinking about them for the Botanical Garden?

Yan Rongxuan felt a warm current in his heart: "This is not fair to the flower set.

In this way, there are many new varieties of flower seedlings in the garden, and if the head of the leaf garden likes them, he can take them with him, and there is no problem with one or two hundred plants. ”

The botanical garden cultivates a total of 300,000 peonies, and the number of one or two hundred peonies is a drop in the bucket.

Ye Han had a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome." ”

*

Ye Han spent two days confirming the more than 600 peonies and 200 flower seedlings presented by the peony cultivation center, and each plant was labeled with the variety, year and number to avoid confusion.

Once confirmed, the workers began to work.

These peonies are very deep-rooted, and when transplanting, you need to dig deep along the periphery, pay attention to protecting the root system, and wait until it is transported to the peony orchard where the flowers are gathered, and then water the nutrient solution in time to promote the recovery and growth of the root system, and there will be no problems.

With so many finished peonies, they are still precious species, and the requirements for transplanting are higher than those of ordinary varieties.

So in addition to the flower farmers in the cultivation center, Ye Han invited more than a dozen additional people to dig it, and then pack it and transport it to W City in batches, which is definitely a big project.

In particular, the 'East China Sea Wave Flower' Kao took root more than 1.5 meters underground, and the foliage was so dense that it was almost impossible to fit the truck, so it took a lot of effort.

Ye Han contacted Wang Hongnian to dock the transportation matters, and it was important to transport these precious peonies and the three Kao kings to the flower collection unscathed.

She counted the time, and by the time the transport vehicle arrived, she was back in W City.

The timing was just right.

Busy with confirmation and transplanting, Ye Han would go to the L City Botanical Garden every morning to learn about the new peonies under the introduction of the deputy director, and take care of the few small seedlings that did not grow well, and occasionally water the remaining plant nutrient solution into the soil.

The morning before Ye Han left, Yan Rongxuan was pleasantly surprised to tell her: "Director Ye, come and see, the seeds that were originally sprinkled in the soil have actually sprouted five seedlings!" ”

It's incredible!

This is the first time that so many flower seedlings have grown in the garden since the cultivation of the silver thread through the top, which is gratifying.

The other five small flower seedlings are also in much better condition than before, and have begun to grow light green leaves, expanding outward from a small one.

When the doctors and other employees of the institute heard the news, they rushed to see it, and everyone was excited.

The lab was brightly lit last night, and he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep most of the night.

Ye Han looked at the little bud that was only two or three centimeters long, and smiled with his eyebrows.

I didn't expect them to work so hard to germinate from the soil.

She used the golden finger on one of the small buds.

As if knowing who saved it, Xiao Niyin said softly: "Thank you." ”

The small light yellow buds also lightly clicked, as if to thank them.

Ye Han stood up with a smile, feeling that this trip to L City was very meaningful and worthwhile.

By tomorrow morning, she should also return to W City with two silver silk seedlings and another 150 new varieties of peonies that will be transported.

The task of introducing peonies this time was successfully completed, and it was even more satisfying than expected.

I believe that before the flowering season arrives in April, she will be able to cultivate amazing silver silk top peonies!
