Alpine rhododendrons generally live under mountain forests or grassy slopes at an altitude of 1,500-4,000 meters, and the temperature on the mountains is generally about 10 degrees lower than that below.

In order to simulate the original ecological environment, Ye Han lowered the temperature of the rhododendron garden by 5-7 degrees, so that the flower buds could be better nurtured and accumulate more nutrients.

Normally, most flowers such as peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, pear blossoms, peonies, peonies, moon seasons, etc., will bloom in spring when the temperature warms up, and the flowering period is concentrated in March and April, bringing people a colorful and gorgeous spring scene.

As described in the poem 'The world is full of flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom', they gradually open up after most of the flowers have withered, becoming a unique scene in late spring and early summer.

Ye Han walked into the rhododendron garden and immediately felt a cool breath.

Today's temperature is 21-26 degrees, and since the beginning of May, the temperature has risen very quickly and is expected to reach 30 degrees next month.

The temperature here is 16-20 degrees, which is just the most suitable temperature for alpine rhododendrons.

The bright sunlight shines on the thick green leaves, photosynthesizing and metabolism at a rapid rate, and the sensor nozzles floating in the air automatically sense the humidity around them, spraying the plants with a fine mist of water to ensure that they need high humidity.

Under the promotion of suitable growth environment and plant nutrient solution, the alpine rhododendrons grow vigorously, with many branches, full of flower buds, and the plant height is at least one-third higher than when it first arrived last year.

Ye Han came to several large vermilion rhododendrons.

When first transplanted, the rhododendron, which is more than 80 centimeters, has grown to 1.2 meters, and the long oval leaves are finely distributed on the stretched branches, layer after layer, covering almost the entire branch.

The leaves are very thick, leather-like texture, the texture is clear, and the length of each piece is more than ten centimeters, which is radially surrounded by two layers, and the center holds a tower-like inflorescence.

Ye Han compared his hand to a mature inflorescence.

A single inflorescence is almost the size of her palm!

Rao is Ye Han couldn't help but be amazed.

The outer scales have stretched out one after another with full-shaped buds, and you can imagine how large a cluster will be when they are all open.

It is worthy of being a nobleman among the cuckoos.

The flowers are larger and more numerous than all other species of rhododendrons, making them extremely ornamental.

She used a golden finger on one of the large vermilion rhododendrons.

Vermilion big cuckoo: "Whew, it's finally going to bloom, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

It stretched its leaves and felt the spray pleasantly: "Ah, it's so cool, just keep it at this temperature, I like it." ”

Ye Han touched the other party's thick leaves: "Okay." ”

The big vermilion cuckoo began to complain again: "It's summer again soon, it's really annoying, this cuckoo's most annoying season!" ”

The native species of the alpine rhododendron lives in the mountains at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and is not afraid of summer.

Even if the temperature under the mountain is as high as 37 degrees, it is only more than 20 degrees on the mountain, and the clouds and mist are diffused in the mountain forest, which is basically unaffected.

However, artificial cultivation or horticultural cultivation centers are mostly located in plain areas, and the temperature is high.

Summer exposure combined with high temperatures of more than 35 degrees makes it easy to get sunburned

Die.

Even with all the protective measures in place, it was still difficult to survive the summer.

This was the case when I was cultivating the base in Y Province before, but fortunately, it did not affect the activity.

Ye Han thought for a while: "Not this year." I will do a good job of shading and temperature control in the garden so that you can spend the whole summer comfortably. ”

The vermilion cuckoo shook the leaves excitedly: "A word is a certainty!" ”

Ye Han smiled and held its outstretched branch: "Well, it's a word." ”

The big vermilion cuckoo: "Sisters, do you hear it, are you happy?" ”

Vermilion Big Cuckoo No. 2-6 said in unison: "Happy! ”

One vermilion has a loud voice, not to mention the superposition of 6.

Fortunately, the effect of the sound shield did not disturb the other alpine rhododendrons.

Ye Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, it will be another scuffle, and the last accident is still vivid.

……

The three precious big tree azaleas are the focus of Ye Han's attention, especially the 43-year-old, no, it should be called the 44-year-old big tree azalea now.

Ye Han looked up at its outstretched branches.

It is thicker than when I first came, with many branches and gradually becoming semi-woody, with a vicissitudes of life.

With a large amount of plant nutrient solution watered and carefully cultivated, the large tree rhododendron, which should have bloomed in 48-50 years, has been greatly shortened and will bloom this year.

Today, at the top of its coiled branches and vigorous leaves, countless buds have grown.

Some are ripe, with purple-red edges exposed on the outside of the scales, and some are only more than 20 centimeters in tower, reddish and still developing.

Even if you haven't reached the flowering stage yet, it's a spectacular feeling.

Accumulated silently for more than 40 years, just to bloom once and amaze the world.

Normally, the big tree azaleas deep in the mountains bloom in March.

The large tree, the rhododendron, delayed flowering for two months in order to better develop flower buds, which lasted for up to half a year.

Because of this, the scene of the trees full of buds in front of you has been created.

Ye Han used a golden finger on it.

The big tree rhododendron has long since lost its original melancholy and has become energetic: "Unexpectedly, this year's flowering period has really arrived early. I could feel the energy in abundance. ”

Ye Han smiled and said, "Congratulations." ”

Big Tree Cuckoo: "Thanks to your help. ”

The big tree cuckoo said with relief: "The little seedlings have also grown up." ”

The five flower seedlings growing around it are all growing very well, and three of them are close to one meter tall.

This is the offspring of the large tree rhododendron cuttings, and it has the same genes.

And after flowering, the capsules will grow in September-October, and they will have their own real offspring.

As for the other two 38-year-old trees, the rhododendron, it will take another 1-2 years to complete its mission of reproduction.

“... In front of you, you will soon go to the Flower Garden Botanical Garden. ”

The tour guide Peng Mei glanced back at the distance, which was not congested, and then patted the microphone and looked at the tourists on the bus: "Everyone cheer up, I will emphasize the last time."

After we entered from the group purchase channel, we first went to take a sightseeing bus, enjoying the scenery along the way, and at the Rainforest Pavilion

Get out.

Don't throw away the ticket in your hand, and you can take the sightseeing bus to other attractions in a while. ()”

"When you arrive at the Rainforest Pavilion, I will take you to the rental area next to it to rent headphones, all inclusive, no additional charge. However, each person has to pay a deposit of 200 yuan, and the full amount will be returned after returning the equipment.

The Tropical Rainforest Pavilion and the Rare Plant Pavilion are must-see attractions in the Flower Collection, where you can see tropical plants, insectivorous plants, and a variety of precious orchids that are not usually seen, as well as the sky garden, strangulation, and other wonders, which is very shocking.

Both pavilions have time limits, so please pay attention to the time. ()『Come []$ to see the latest chapter$ full chapter』()"

"After visiting the exhibition hall, it was free time, about 3 hours."

The tour guide glanced at his mobile phone, "It's 8 minutes to 1 o'clock, everyone comes to the bus at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the bus departs on time at 6:10." ”

"There are a lot of attractions worth visiting in the Flower Garden, as I just said, and the guide map in everyone's hand is also marked.

If you like to climb mountains, go to the forest scenic spot, if you like small animals, if you like small animals, if you like science fiction, go to the science museum, and if you want to try the bird-watching experience, go to the metasequoia forest......

On the first floor of Wang Lian's restaurant, you can stand on the 50-meter observation deck by taking the ultra-high-speed elevator to overlook the panoramic view... and a visit to the Moon Garden, the Rose Garden and the Rhododendron Garden, where the flowers are in full bloom.

……

Okay, now everyone brings their belongings and gets ready to get out of the car! ”

Zhou Jing and her best friend Lu Xueyan followed behind the other tourists, looking a little sleepy.

They got on the bus at 7 o'clock in the morning, walked around the gardens and ancient streets, and rushed to the flower market after eating at 12 o'clock, and they almost fell asleep in the car.

However, when you enter from the entrance, you will be shocked by the fresh air and the abundant greenery.

Sitting on the sightseeing car, the transparent roller shutters rolled up to the top, and the scenery along the way made the two completely lose their sleepiness and stretched out their heads to look outside.

In mid-May, the artificial lake ushered in a full turquoise landscape.

The royal lotus has entered the vigorous growth stage, and the leaves with spikes on the back have already floated to the surface of the water and unfolded into large leaves with a diameter of nearly one meter.

However, it is far from its huge size of more than 3 meters, like a small green boat floating on the lake, with a fresh and tender color.

In the lotus pond not far away, large and small lotus leaves spread all over the lake, some of them come out of the water to become vertical leaves, and some are curled and are gradually stretching.

Occasionally, small buds emerge from the middle, still pale green, and do not enter the first flowering stage until June.

However, looking at the picture of the blue waves in front of me, I felt the bursts of lotus fragrance wafting into my nose, and I suddenly felt relaxed and happy; From time to time, egrets or swans fly from afar, landing beside the reeds or lotus leaves, and their elegant posture attracts attention.

Although it is not yet in full bloom in summer, the boardwalk is already crowded with tourists, and photographers are taking pictures in the gazebo with tripods.

At this time, the temperature is just right, the wind blows slowly, a large area of tender green lotus leaves gently flutters, and the delicate buds stand in a pavilion; People can also admire the young Wang Lian, some of the leaves have just surfaced, the size of a basin, and the edges are upturned, which looks a little cute.

It's a completely different scene from the height of summer.

In addition, the summer heat of more than 30 degrees is also prohibitive, and for some people, now is the best time of the year.

……

Sightseeing car to the tropics

() Rainforest Pavilion, a group of people get off the bus with a guide.

Even though the May Day Golden Week has passed, there are still many people queuing at the door.

Zhou Jing and Lu Xueyan put on Bluetooth headphones and followed the second group of visitors into the exhibition greenhouse.

"Wow."

"Oh my God."

As soon as the two entered, they were shocked, and along the way, everyone's admiration never stopped.

It's spectacular.

The beauty of the hanging gardens, the terrible strangulation, the towering giant trees, the vines thicker than the wrist, the huge banyan trees that occupy an entire island......

It's a sight they've never seen in their lifetime, like walking into a real rainforest.

In particular, the 5-meter-high boardwalk through the interior of the alpine banyan tree, and the close observation and even caressing of the intricate aerial roots – the shock will last for a lifetime.

Let these first-time tourists be dizzying, completely calm, and full of experience.

To be honest, although those ancient towns and gardens are 5A-level scenic spots, the cultural and historical atmosphere is rich and the scenery is also beautiful; But compared to the pristine rainforest in front of you, it seems that it has completely lost its advantages.

The small bridges and flowing water and slow pace of the ancient town are indeed soothing; The step by step scene of the classical garden can also highlight the delicacy of the courtyard of the ancients.

But in terms of novelty, one pavilion in the Flower Collection is enough to surpass them all!

This is also a strategy for travel agencies to plan routes.

Flower Fair is the last stop for tourists in W City, the finale of the general attraction.

After visiting the Flower Fair, tourists feel good, and their evaluation of the entire tour group and the scenic spot of W City will be improved, thus bringing a better reputation.

This is the conclusion reached after the calculation of big data and many experiments.

The tour group also gives the most time to visit the flower fair.

Like the garden, the tour time is only 1.5 hours, and the Flower Farm Botanical Garden gives visitors a full 5 hours of browsing time, just for everyone's experience.

And the package includes a sightseeing car and automatic commentary, which is complete.

Tourists visit a few more scenic spots, and word of mouth and reviews are all available.

In W

Among the city's related tourist routes, almost all of them are such routes with sales champions and top ratings.

From the winter vacation to the present, it has been dominating the list, saving the cost of advertising and making a lot of money.

*

When Zhou Jing and Lu Xueyan came out of the Rare Plant Museum, they had a feeling of returning to reality from the secret realm of plants.

The two magical exhibition halls, with intelligent explanations and immersive experiences, make people linger and marvel.

While appreciating, I also recognize many interesting plants.

It was the first time they could experience the beauty of the plant kingdom.

Zhou Jing and the two returned the equipment and looked at the guide map.

As the tour guide said, there are too many attractions in the Flower Fair, and most of them have never been tried before.

Bird watching experience? Shake one’s head.

Digital interaction and '5D' movies in the Science Museum? Shake your head again.

The succulent kingdom of the glass flower house? Shake your head 3 times.

The 99-meter-tall Wang Lian Restaurant and Observation Deck? Shake your head for the Nth time.

……

The Flower Garden Botanical Garden is really different, there are so many unique attractions.

Zhou Jing glanced at the time (), more than 3 o'clock? ()"Come to []??, see the latest chapter?" The full chapter'() has less than 3 hours left.

Time is limited, so it's certainly impossible to visit them all.

In particular, there are queues for some attractions.

Zhou Jing asked her friend, "Where are we going first?" ”

Lu Xueyan scanned the code scanning area at the door, and clicked on the smart applet in the flower, which has the real-time waiting time of each landscape area.

During this time, the number of people in the poultry hall has been high because of the peacock opening screen, the courtship of the red-bellied golden pheasant, etc., coupled with the popularity of segfino and macaw, etc., and the average queuing time is more than 1.5 hours.

Metasequoia forest bird watching spots: 30-40 minutes

Wang Lian Restaurant Observation Deck: 10 minutes

Waiting at Wang Lian's Restaurant: more than 2 hours

Science Museum: Prologue Hall (about 20 minutes)

Photography Gallery (approx. 30 min)

Endangered Plants Exhibition Hall (about 30 minutes)

Interactive Experience Zone (approx. 1 hour)

Projection Hall (approx. 1.5 hours)

……

Zhou Jing also leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp.

She only knew that the scenic spot of the flower set was hot, but she didn't know that it was so hot!

Today is neither a holiday nor a weekend, just an ordinary working day, and there are still so many people on the date they chose for the staggered peak tour.

It seems that the Bird Museum and the Science Museum are out of play, and you can only visit this one attraction when you go.

If the Rainforest Pavilion is not limited to the time of visiting, it is estimated that it will take a long time.

Lu Xueyan: "Let's go to Wang Lian's restaurant to check in first, and take the elevator to the observation deck to overlook the panoramic view. Then choose according to the scenery you like, and it would be nice to be able to browse 2-3 attractions. ”

Zhou Jing: "Yes! Walk. ”

Due to the height of Wang Lian's restaurant, they can also see a part of it here, but how can they be shocked to stand below and watch.

After 20 minutes, they successfully checked in the magnificent and chic Wang Lian Restaurant, and took a lot of photos below.

This trip is definitely worth it!

Immediately after, the two went to the right side of the hall to line up and prepare to climb the 50-meter-high observation deck.

I thought that the waiting time would be very boring, but I didn't expect that there were electronic screens on both sides of the channel to play the promotional video of the Flower Collection, and at the same time display a variety of peripheral products.

There is also a self-service pendant cabinet next to them, facing them.

"What a delicate pendant." Zhou Jing looked at the 360-degree display without dead ends on the high-definition large screen, and her heart was ready to move.

"There's a remote-controlled robot, oh my God."

"Look at this bird figure, wow, it's so realistic."

Ahhh

How can every periphery of the flower set come out of her heart, and hit the pain point.

Zhou Jing was still watching when she was about to enter the elevator, and other tourists also frequently cast their eyes, obviously all of them were intended customers.

Maybe you will become a buyer in no time.

The elevator arrived in 5 seconds, which was incredibly fast.

The two seemed to be standing on top of a 16-story tower, and the trees that were unattainable on the ground were less than a third of their height.

When I look down, I feel dizzy.

It's like a huge three-dimensional model unfolding dozens of meters below them, and they stand at the highest point in the center.

() Ability to see the entire model from all angles (except for a small piece obscured by the stalk of Wang Lian's Restaurant).

The view is extremely open () and everything is in full view.

It's spectacular.

Zhou Jing looked at the picture of the mother swan swimming with the babies a few hundred meters away▅()『Come []@看最新章节@完整章节』(), but unfortunately it was a little far away, and she could only see the outline of the whooper swan, and she couldn't see the fluffy little ball.

Then go to the island in the middle of the lake in the metasequoia forest, the blue sky and green trees, egrets flying, the sky is beautiful.

and then the small animals in the aviary, which have become smaller and more cute, very lively; Moving on to -

"Swallow, look there!" Zhou Jing pulled her friend's sleeve.

Under the green background, white, light yellow, pink white, fiery red, purple and blue and other colors seem to be carefully drawn color palettes, and like magnificent ribbons, covering the hillside layer by layer, draping a layer of tulle in the mist, bringing a very shocking visual effect.

So beautiful.

Other tourists also noticed that there was a constant stream of chattering and photographing.

It's just that the distance is far away, and I can't tell what kind of flower it is for a while.

Lu Xueyan flipped through the guide map for comparison: "It's the Rhododendron Garden." ”

I clicked on the applet and glanced at it, and whispered: "There is no need to queue up for the time being." ”

There was no one in line? Zhou Jing was surprised.

But it's right to think about it.

If they don't come to the observation deck, they will definitely choose other special attractions in the limited time.

After all, there are too many landscape areas in the flower set, and if you want to experience it, of course, you have to choose the attractions that have been tweeted by various bloggers.

As for the azalea garden, it seems that no one recommends it.

Just right!

Zhou Jing said excitedly: "Then let's go to the rhododendron garden first, and after shopping, we will go to the metasequoia forest to watch birds, and if we still have time, we will go to the artificial lake on the way back." ”

Lu Xueyan: "Okay. ”

The two took the elevator down, Zhou Jing picked and picked in the self-service cabinet, and finally bought a puzzle model of the big banyan tree, priced at 399 yuan.

Although she wanted the others, she felt that it was the most representative souvenir.

The mountain banyan tree, which occupies an island, left a deep impression on her.

As for the remote-controlled robot, it's a bit expensive, she has to think about it.

"Let's go." Zhou Jing put the box of more than ten centimeters into the backpack and looked back: ???

Lu Xueyan is scanning the code to buy Wang Lian's pendant and the pendant of cobra bottle grass.

Zhou Jing: "......"

Good guys, silently, buy two at once.

By the time Lu Xueyan finished buying, there were already three people lined up behind.

With only 4 self-service cabinets placed here, the sales volume can exceed 1,000 per day.

The free sightseeing platform brings no less income than the popular Wang Lian Restaurant.

How terrible.

*

When they came to the Rhododendron Garden, the two of them were instantly attracted by the scenery in front of them, and they couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

On the mist-shrouded low hills, the alpine rhododendrons are each more than a meter high, growing luxuriantly, full of flowers, countless flower bulbs grow on the top of the leaves, and the colors have been stretching along the plank road to a kilometer away, as far as the eye can see.

Such an angle is clearer than from the observation deck, and you can see it

() The perfect posture of a few alpine rhododendrons in front of you, and then all the way to the front and beyond, as if falling into a valley full of rhododendrons.

They had never seen anything they had ever seen before, with flowers blooming all over the hills, as if they had entered the garden of the gods.

It's even a little unreal.

The two couldn't help but step forward and look at the beautiful dewdrop cuckoo in front of them.

This rhododendron was about the same height as Zhou Jing, but it was much wider than her, and its branches were luxuriant.

The clusters of large umbrella-shaped flower bulbs grow on the top of the leaves, like a champagne tower, and in the boundless green, the pale yellow flower bulbs spread over the entire plant, and the flowers are surprisingly large.

A single rhododendron can be a sight of its own.

Each flower bulb is clustered together by more than a dozen funnel-shaped flowers, and the petals are graded light yellow, fresh and elegant.

The slender stamens protrude from the center, and the thick dark green leaves hang down in a circle, making the central flower bulb stand out more and more, like a beautiful bouquet of flowers, showing the beauty of the beauty.

Such a unique pattern makes people love it at first sight.

To the surprise of the two, it was very large.

Zhou Jing stepped forward to compare, the two palms were not enough to hold up, almost as big as her face.

！

Oh, my God.

The two glanced at each other, is this really an azalea?

It's completely different from what I remembered.

Lu Yuyan saw the introduction sign next to her.

"Alpine rhododendron, rhododendron is a small evergreen tree, a rare species in rhododendrons, mostly growing in the mountains and tundra at an altitude of 1500-4000 meters.

Alpine rhododendron, primrose, green velvet artemisia and gentian are known as the world's four major alpine flowers, and have the reputation of being the best of the flowers......." (1)

Alpine rhododendron.

The first time the two heard the name, it was deeply imprinted in their hearts.

The beauty of the alpine rhododendron is a shock that no flower can replace.

There are not many tourists here, but there are not as many as other scenery.

Zhou Jing and the two walked on the 30-centimeter-high plank road, feeling the humid air, the temperature here seemed to be cooler than outside, but they thought it was the effect of the spray.

The alpine rhododendrons on both sides are planted in the hills, and the grass under the trees is green, and you can see the brown soil, and countless flowers are reflected in the mist, as if you have arrived in a fairyland.

The rhododendrons along the way are so tall, and clusters of huge flower bulbs are stacked in the air, blooming layer by layer.

Pink white, light yellow, light pink, purple beautiful and fresh, the petals are light to transparent, revealing the color of jade, as delicate and moving as Shih Tzu, so that people can not take their eyes off.

Zhou Jing, like other tourists, keeps taking pictures, single flower bulbs, close-ups, distant shots, and whole plants...... Every angle is so beautiful that it explodes.

At the bend ahead, the lantana rhododendron, which is twice as tall as other alpine rhododendrons, appears in front of you, nearly 3 meters tall, revealing its vigorous body.

Most of the thick branches stretched out above the boardwalk, splitting into staggered gray-brown branches, and clusters of umbrella-shaped flower balls were as red as fire, burning above their heads, amazingly gorgeous.

So beautiful.

The red broke into the eye strongly, forming a strong visual contrast with the light color in front of it.

The mountain flowers are splendid, red like the sun, authentic Huaguo red.

A shock that comes from the heart.

The people under the tree were taking pictures, and the SLR stretched out a long lens, clicking non-stop.

The red color is gorgeous, the light color is pure, and a poem suddenly popped up in Zhou Jing's mind: "Light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate."

This is the alpine rhododendron like Xizi.!
