Cultivation method of lotus petal orchid

Cultivation of Lotus Petal Orchid Cultivation of Lotus Petal Orchid with Decayed Leaf Soil Special geographic and climatic conditions have nurtured many varieties of wild orchids in Yunnan. According to the research, there are more than 50 kinds of orchids in the world, and more than 20 kinds of orchids are distributed in China. The orchids in Yunnan include almost all the domestic orchids, some of which are endemic to Yunnan, and the lotus petal orchid is the specialty of Yunnan.　　Lotus petal orchid is a species with a long history of domestication and wide influence in Yunnan (especially in western Yunnan or northwestern Yunnan). The flower of lotus petal orchid looks like lotus flower, and Yunnan people call lotus flower as lotus flower, thus it gets its name. Lotus petal orchid is called "Xiao Xue Lan" among the Bai and Naxi, and "Bei Ya Lan" among the Taiwan orchid community in China. Lotus petal orchid belongs to the typical spring orchid genus, for the ground orchid, root white, stout, roots do not fork. The pseudobulb is small and ellipsoidal. The leaves of the lotus petal orchid are linear, with serrated edges and a "V" shape in cross-section at the base. Flowering period is from December to March, scape flowers 2 to 4, flower color has red, yellow, light green, white and plain heart and other varieties, strong fragrance. Lotus petal orchid varieties are easy to recognize.

Lotus petal orchid mostly grows at an altitude of 1500 to 2500 meters on the slopes of the mountain, pine, oak and under the shrubs, especially like to grow in the oak tree more on the slopes of the mountain, where most of the loose humus soil. From the wild environment of lotus petal orchid, lotus petal orchid likes moist, ventilation, air permeability, adequate nutrients, moderate acidity and alkalinity, partial shade environment. In order to meet the environmental requirements of lotus petal orchid, Yunnan orchid elders finally summarized the experience of cultivating lotus petal orchid with humus soil through arduous exploration.　　The soil for cultivating lotus petal orchid is the most ideal one which contains a lot of humus, loose and permeable, well-drained, moderate nutrients, neutral acidity and alkalinity, free of germs and pests, and it is generally classified into organic plant material, inorganic plant material and soil-type plant material, etc. Humus soil belongs to soil-type plant material. Humus soil is a kind of soil planting material, and it is widely used in Yunnan for orchid cultivation.　　Humus soil is divided into humus soil and leafy soil, among which leafy soil is the best. The advantages of humus soil are air permeability, drainage, sufficient nutrients, slightly acidic and easy to get. Yunnan orchid growers recognize the humus as the "home soil" for Dianlian orchid cultivation.　　Decomposed leaf soil is the easiest to get, and there is decomposed leaf soil wherever there is dense forest and grass. There are many kinds of leaf-rotting soil, and the following kinds are generally used in the cultivation of Yunnan lotus petal orchid: The most used one is rotting soil. There are yellow oak leaf soil and white oak soil, yellow oak leaf soil is better than white oak leaf soil, yellow oak leaf soil contains yellow oak pigment, and the growth of orchids need yellow oak pigment most. Yellow oak leaf leaf back yellow, leaf and green, leaf thick, leaf edge has burrs. White oak leaf leaf thin, leaf edge without burrs.　　Next is the shrub mulch. Shrub mulch soil is mixed mixed woods in the fallen leaves by the decay of the mulch soil, this mulch soil is mixed, comprehensive nutrition. Because it is a mixed type, the degree of decomposition is not the same, and the leaves are thin and fragile, so it is easy to manipulate the orchid roots when using it. Mixed leaf-rotting soil is not as well drained as oak-rotting leaf-rotting soil due to its natural ratios.　　Once again, it is rotting pine hairy leaf soil. Rotting pine mulberry leaf soil is slightly acidic planting material, more conducive to the growth of lotus petal orchids, but must be rotted to the extent of the soft sheep, can not be pricked, in order to prevent stabbing the orchid roots.　　The fourth is other rotting leaf soil. Such as rotting willow leaf soil, rotting grass leaf soil, rotting bamboo leaf soil, crushed rotting leaf type soil and so on. This kind of soil is not easy to get, can only be artificial decay and become. This criterion concretizes the most basic principle of appreciating lotus petal orchid masterpieces, that is, it is to make provisions for appreciating the overall combination of flowers and various parts of flowers of masterpieces to meet the minimum requirements of artistry. Appreciation of a masterpiece is to screen out the average and the best flowers, and at the same time to appreciate their beautiful features one by one. In this case, the evaluation of the famous lotus orchid is to require that the flower of a flower and the detailed modeling of the flower, or the geometric shape of the flower, whether it is the overall flower or each component of the flower, should be in accordance with a certain sense of beauty. Specifically, the petals of the flower, the stick petals, the tongue and the nose of the flower of the Lotus Orchid Famous Product, the combination of the whole flower they constitute must have the beauty of harmony, as long as the lack of the beauty of a certain part of the beauty of the harmony of the beauty of the destruction. Not only is the whole flower of the Lotus Orchid famous from the cup to each flower, but the space occupied by the petals of the flower, the combination of the cupped petals and the size of the tongue are very harmonious. Therefore, the harmonious beauty of the shape of the flower and the composition of each component of the Lotus Orchid is the criterion for appreciating the masterpieces. According to the requirements of this standard, lotus petal orchid from the flower petal type, tongue and stick petal structure, geometry, and even the texture of the entire perianth in all aspects of the division of the next, divided into grades, to determine the grade of the famous flower.

China's traditional appreciation of the petal shape of famous orchids is to classify them into different grades: the first grade is the plum petal-type flower represented by Songmei, the second grade is the big lotus petal-type flower represented by Global Hodin, and the third grade is the narcissus petal-type flower represented by the word "dragon". In addition to the above three petal-type flowers and vegetative flowers, through the general petal-type flower class, into the taste. Vegetarian flowers itself is a valuable flower, not good from the petal type on the categorization, and petal type flowers can only say that both related and different; should be independently classified as a taste. Most of the flower petal modeling is poor, either willow leaf type or bamboo leaf type, which is both vegetarian flowers and petal type of good varieties, grade far more than the colorful heart petal type flowers, naturally extremely valuable.

Lotus petal orchid flowers in accordance with the modeling and combination of the harmony of beauty, according to the traditional petal type appreciation requirements, highlighting the variety of flowers of their own characteristics, the formation of a set of standards for the appreciation of petal type, and this division of the product.

The first grade of lotus petal orchid petal type flower, is the plum petal type and plum type petal two. The shape of the outer petals of lotus petal orchid flowers is similar to the petals of plum blossoms, so it is called plum petal or plum-type petal, and the connotation is determined according to the shape of the petals alone, which is exactly the same as that of the plum petal flower of the traditional spring orchid. However, the plum petal of traditional spring orchid is not only defined from the shape of outer petals, but also must be combined with the structure of cupped petals, that is, the cupped petals must be hard cupped with fleshy corolla, which is also known as silk moth pocket. Lotus petal orchid because the outer petal is the same as the plum petal, while the cupped petal is different, there are very few hard cupped, more ball cupped, the structure of cupped petal and tongue is not exactly the same as the traditional spring orchid, and the aesthetic appreciation can not be in accordance with the requirements of the traditional spring orchid, therefore, the characteristics of plum petal type of lotus petal orchid will be emphasized, and the petal type of lotus petal orchid will be classified into two different flower products. The plum petal type flower has always been the first product of floral art, and it has become the most precious flower among orchids. What are plum petal type lotus petal orchid and plum type lotus petal orchid? The so-called plum petal type lotus petal orchid is consistent with the definition of traditional spring orchid flower, the shape of the petal is similar to the plum petal, the apex of the petal is rounded and blunt and has a pocket, and there is a small tip of the petal, and the root of the petal is closed to be thin; the top of the cupped petal has a plump pocket, which is fleshed out like the body of the silk worm moth; the tongue of the flower sticks out from the cupped petal flatly, which is the tongue of Ruyi, and the flower which has the three features is called the plum petal type lotus petal flower. Plum type lotus petal flower is a unique petal type of lotus petal orchid, which is different from the traditional plum petal type and has become an independent famous flower. This petal type is the same as the plum flower petals, but the cupped petals and tongue is not the same as the plum petal type flower, the cupped petals into a ball cupped or short round cupped, the tongue has a large part of the large bangs tongue, such as the plum type lotus petal Su.

Lotus petal orchid plum petal type and plum type petal flowers have fewer gaps between the three petals and are denser, appearing very compact. Although the flowers of this grade are small orchids, they do not feel small when viewed, but rather feel that the world is wide and natural beauty. In addition to this beauty, the petal shape of these flowers has a small tip at the apex of the petal, which is not purely round and dull, in addition to being tightly cuffed. This kind of flower brings out the characteristics of Lotus Petal Orchid even more, with several large flowers blooming on one stem, which is more appreciated than the traditional spring orchid famous flower Songmei. Songmei has only one flower on a pole, and the diameter of the flower is only 4cm. besides the standard plum petal type flower, the plum type petal flower is also quite excellent, its cupped petals are not hard cupped, but most of them are modeled into hemispherical shape, and the tongue of the flower is a large rounded tongue, and the whole flower appearance shows very harmonious and beautiful. Half of the sphere of the cupped petals, holding the tongue, the nose is not exposed, the overall image is prominent, the petal type sense of distinct, highlighting the beauty of the flower and artistic infectivity. Plum type petal lotus petal of flower modeling and combination of harmonious beauty is completely no less than the plum petal type lotus petal flowers, it will be included in the first product of the famous flower is also true.

The lotus petal orchid has been developed and cultivated, and there are both plum petal type or plum type petal flowers, colorful flowers or plain flowers. The development of these two petal-type flowers in lotus petal vein has concentrated the advantages of orchids in many aspects, which not only enriches the treasure trove of Chinese spring orchids but also fills the lack of traditional Chinese spring orchids with plum-petal-type vein flowers, and pushes the ornamental value of Chinese spring orchids to the peak. The second grade of famous flower is the big lotus petal type flower. The petals of lotus petal orchid are similar to the lotus petal type, short, round and wide, and the best flower should reach the variety with large lotus petal type. The large lotus petal type flower has a very high ornamental value. Large lotus petal type flowers of the natural shape of the petals are not round nor narrow, the width of the petal is one half of the length of a little stronger, wide place in the front section of the petal, the edge of the petal structure is close slightly pocket-like, so that the tip of the petal exposed, the whole petal form the geometric shape of the corner of the root of the collection and put, appear very graceful and generous spirit; large lotus petal flower petal is generally fleshy and thick, in the entire flowering period to maintain the flowers of the flowers, extend Viewing time; large lotus petal type flowers cupped petals rounded, the apex of the inward, two cupped petals tightly together tightly covered the nose, do not open the "skylight"; large lotus petal type flowers the vast majority of the tongue is large and short rounded, bright and colorful points or patterns of large bangs tongue hanging upside down in the center. Of course, there are also some flowers in the large lotus petal-type flowers tongue into the anti-curl tongue varieties, hidden but not exposed, another interesting. Large lotus petal type flowers from the modeling and combination of harmonious aesthetic requirements, is very ideal flowers, lotus petal orchid large lotus petal type flowers several open, the combination of the various parts of the flower is quite harmonious, into the outer periphery of a compact, loose internal turn, coupled with a large round tongue of straightforward performance, will be nature's heavenly craftsmanship of the dedication of all.

The big lotus petal type flower in lotus petal orchid is more spiritual than the shape and combination of plum petal type flower in flower appearance, and it is not inferior to the beauty of plum petal type flower at all. Our country pays special attention to the varieties of large lotus petal type in the appreciation of traditional spring orchids and evaluates them highly, thinking that "ten thousand plums are easy to get and one lotus is hard to find".

Large lotus petal type flower varieties are not easy to be found in lotus petal orchids, such as colorful flowers, especially vegetative flowers, which must be extremely precious famous orchids. The traditional spring orchid big lotus petal type vegetative flower counts ZhangHoSu as the top of the list, and the big lotus petal flower in lotus petal vegetarian is far more than it. The large lotus petal lotus petal vein is a pole with many flowers, the petal length is about 3cm, and the width is about 1.8cm. Not only that, most of the leaves of the large lotus petal lotus petal vein are of the pendant leaf type, and the flowers open on top of the orchid leaves that are fluttering in a jade ring, which are beautifully set off from each other. In recent years, there are several kinds of Lotus petal vetiver found to be cultivated, and the flowers of green leaves are large flowers, which make many orchid artists marvel. The large lotus petal lotus petal vegetative flower is separately listed as one of the high-grade masterpieces.

The third grade of lotus petal orchid flower is the petal modeling for the daffodil petal type flower. Lotus petal orchid flowers in the petals in geometric shapes, and Narcissus petals similar to the definition of the petal type and the traditional spring orchid is the same, only in the cupping of the petal modeling is not consistent. The petal type of Lotus Orchid is similar to the petals of Narcissus flower and is called Narcissus petal type flower. The traditional spring orchid on the daffodil petal flower requirements are multi-faceted, not only refers to the petals, and the cupped petals must be up to the pocket, cupped petals up to the pocket of the daffodil petal flower to be called "fairy", no pocket will not be counted as a real daffodil petal flower. From here it is not difficult to see, the apex of the cupped petals with or without pockets is related to the identification and appreciation of daffodil petal type flowers of the basic requirements. Lotus petal orchid is a kind of multi-flowered spring orchid, with larger flowers, in which there is no lack of flowers with petals similar to Narcissus petal type, but the apex of the petals are not necessarily pocketed, and it can be said that most of the petals become rounded petals or oblong petals. The outer three petals of the flower are shaped like daffodil petals, so it is called a daffodil petal type flower based on this. Lotus petal orchid daffodil petal type flowers, although the cupped petals do not pocket, can not become a "fairy", but the petals must be different from the general lotus petal type flowers, a branch of the flower stalks bloom a few large flowers, coupled with the bright and eye-catching color of the flowers, naturally make up for the lack of pocket of the ornamental shortcomings. Lotus petal orchid in the flowers of the petals of the daffodil petal type shape, but also the vegetative heart of the flower, than the general daffodil petals of a higher grade.

The appreciation of lotus petal orchid flower is not only to recognize and appreciate the harmonious beauty of the petal shape of the flower! But also pay attention to the harmony of the structure of the combination between the petals, especially the two secondary petals occupy the space formed by the angle of the composition of the graph of the beauty of the mood. This is also the lotus petal orchid famous modeling and combination of harmonious beauty appreciation indispensable specific content. The combination of the petals of lotus orchid flowers, i.e. the main petal and the secondary petal, often reflects the appearance of a flower, while the combination of the two secondary petals determines the spirit of a flower. According to this standard, the two secondary petals are combined to form a structural graphic beauty in the following order: flying shoulder, flat shoulder, beautiful shoulder, triangular shoulder, falling shoulder and big falling shoulder. Among them, the flying shoulder is the most ancient and modern respected combination of beauty, followed by flat shoulder, drop eyebrow and big drop shoulder is not desirable, can not be counted on the grade of the famous products.

The modeling of cupped petals and the harmonious beauty of their combination are also very important in the appreciation of Chinese orchids, and they are divided into many grades. The aesthetics of the cupped petals include rich flesh, the apex of the cupped petals should be embraced, the texture should be white and fleshy like the body of the silkworm moth, and the joint of the two petals should be seamless, etc. The cupped petals of the lotus petal orchids are also very beautiful. The petals of lotus petal orchid flowers are different from the traditional spring orchids due to the relationship of varieties, and the aesthetic appreciation is not only inheriting the traditional requirements of Chinese orchids, but also has its own different points, and as long as the appreciation conforms to the harmony of modeling and combination, it is regarded as the famous flower petals. According to this principle of appreciation, their rank is: the first one is hard cupping. The second is the ball cupping. Ball cupping in the lotus petal orchid masterpieces in the first place is the shape, it is fleshy and thick, two cupped petals combined into a half sphere to form a large pocket, joints do not separate, not only wrapped nose and contain a large tongue, in the center of the flower to play a stabilizing role of the center of gravity, coordinating the various parts of the flower with. Ball bouquet in addition to adding the beauty of the flowers and flowers, contains far-reaching spiritual meaning, such as large flower lotus petals bouquet, curved veins to make the ball more three-dimensional sense, the flavor is endless. The third is the round bouquet or called the rectangular bouquet. Its appearance of the apex of the round, slightly longer petal body, the middle part of the two sides of the convex and embrace the nose, the texture is slightly thick and upright. In addition to the general cupped petals, collectively referred to as the cat's ear cupping, it is poorly shaped, some of the flesh is thin to the outside of the open, not to talk about the grade of the masterpiece.

Lotus petal orchid flower tongue modeling and structure of the harmonious beauty, but also an essential part of the appreciation of floriculture, but also indispensable aesthetic criteria. The tongue of the flower is located in the center of the lower position, its natural shape and the top of the point or pattern coloring shade, whether sharp and eye-catching, and the combination of the petals is harmonious, all affecting the beauty of a flower's appearance, related to the artistry of a flower, is to determine the famous flower is extremely important and indispensable conditions. The natural shape of the tongue of the flower is related to the natural beauty of the flower regardless of the species. According to the flower tongue of lotus petal orchid has a variety of different shapes, as well as the different beauty contained, according to the aesthetic requirements of the famous flower, the flower tongue is also divided into so many grades: the first grade of the tongue is the tongue. Ruyi tongue is not rolled and not down, flat under the petals in the cupping, the tongue of the flesh thick and pointed with pockets. Ruyi tongue to the flower tongue on the surface of the point or pattern hidden, hidden but not exposed, intended to highlight the petals, the formation of the overall form of beauty. For this reason, the Ruyi tongue is classified as the first grade of tongue. The second grade of the tongue is the large round tongue. The tongue of the large round tongue hanging upside down under the cupped petals, short and round, the large round tongue in the lotus petal orchid flowers appear more opportunities, and the combination of the ball cupping is very harmonious, no less than the tongue of the Ruyi, and the tongue of the Ruyi have their own style. The third grade belongs to the end of the large curled tongue. Reverse curled tongue is the most common natural structure of lotus petal orchid flower tongue, in which some of them are large, some of them are narrow and long. The tongue of the flower that counts as a famous flower, even if it is reverse curled, it should be a big tongue, rolled properly, leaving the half of the tongue root must be hanging on the bottom of the flower end to end, not affecting the harmonious beauty of the flower.

The harmonious beauty of lotus petal orchid famous appreciation also requires that the nose of the flower should be small, to small for the best. Lotus petal orchid famous flower nose most of the petals covered, affecting the beauty of the flower flower appearance of the ingredients less, so in the local appreciation is not emphasized much. In addition, the harmonious beauty of the combination between the flower stem and the flowers is also an aspect that cannot be neglected in the appreciation of famous products, which is also inherited from the aesthetic requirements of traditional spring orchids, and will not be introduced in detail. It is better for the flower stem and flowers to be harmonized and structurally sound without losing the weight; if there is more than one, the head will be heavy and the foot will be heavy, making it look bloated; if there is less than one, the stem will not be able to win over the flowers and will be weak and feeble. The famous lotus petal orchid flowers are generally between two and five, and the flower stalks not only match with several flower stalks, but also harmonize with each other to achieve a harmonious beauty. Of course, for the traditional spring orchid, since it is one flower per stem, the thinner the stem, the better.

The above natural modeling from the petals, cupped petals, tongue, nose to each part of the flower stem of lotus petal orchid flowers must achieve a certain harmony. Therefore, the natural modeling of lotus petal orchid flowers and the harmony of mutual combinations have become an important content and criterion for the appreciation and selection of famous products. Lotus petal orchid flowers in nature are of various colors, including white, red, yellow, green, purple and hemp. When viewing the colors of flowers, it is important to have harmony between a flower and its stem, a flower and its leaves, or a single flower. The aesthetic concept of color harmony of lotus petal orchid flowers combines with the rich characteristics of lotus petal orchid flower color, and draws on the aesthetic requirement of texture and transparency of Chinese spring orchid to appreciate the color of flowers, and requires that the color of flowers be bright and brilliant, and preferably a single color. Lotus petal orchid color famous flower color has transparent sense, bright and vivid color, at the same time, bright and vivid flowers and green leaves into a sharp contrast, highlighting the good flowers to have green leaves to help the overall natural beauty, harmony and beauty.

The color of the world can be said to have dozens of kinds of more, but can be pleasing to the eye only twenty kinds. Pleasing to the eye and has the feeling of beauty, in the lotus petal orchid flowers in the main: white, it symbolizes the pure and elegant, white and beautiful; red, symbolizing the hot emotions, hot column bright; yellow, it represents the enthusiasm and stability, calm and transparent; green, reflecting the vitality and prosperity, and so on. These colors are the most popular colors in people's lives. Lotus petal orchid plant lush green leaves, jasper dripping green, and any kind of people love the brightly colored flowers with, harmonious and incomparable, the beauty of the leaves in the appreciation of both flowers, the best expression of nature's artistic beauty.

The color beauty of orchid flowers is one of the important contents of floral art appreciation. Flower coloring beauty, must meet the flower color single pure, if there are several colors between the presence of coordination must not destroy the overall beauty, especially different parts of the color to be sharp and beautiful, contrast contrast, Lotus Orchid colorful heart flower is a variety of colors, only to prepare for the above requirements, to be called beautiful and lovely, or not counted as a flower of the masterpiece. Therefore, according to the requirements and standards of flower color appreciation of Lotus Orchid, the flower color of Lotus Orchid is as follows: Firstly, it is a pure and bright flower of various colors. The purity of a flower color, color harmony. Lotus petal orchid color famous flower, flower color is pure, such as too white veil, flower pole to flower the whole branch is flawless, transparent, by the green leaves set off and highlight the snow-white flowers. Another example, the golden lotus petal orchid flowers, the body through the yellow, that gold like flowers bloom in the green leaves, like a jade jade leaves inlaid with pure gold flowers crafts, beautiful and touching.

Secondly, the two colors with but very harmonious, colorful and bright flowers. This category of colorful flowers although there are two colors, but the primary and secondary, coordinated with, no half damage to the color of the flowers of the harmonious beauty, but to add the softness of the flowers, highlighting a main color, to increase the sense of beauty. Lotus petals in a part of the flowers in the petals have several light green veins, or white with a slight green, but did not in any way damage the color of the white petals of the beauty of the flower, but also did not reduce the veiled flowers attractive place. Another example is the large round tongue of the plum type petal flower, tongue short round, fine glutinous snow white base plate with thick U-shaped pattern, bright and eye-catching, very conspicuous, no instead of feeling shortcomings like what.

Third, it is more than two colors mixed, but no one color dominant color flower. This type of color flower is a variety of colors mixed, a flower color like what color have a little, commonly known as hemp color flower. Hemp color flowers can not be color flowers into the ranks of the famous flowers, only with other no matter whether the shape or a part of the variation, in order to enter the ranks of the famous flowers, such as petal-type flowers, hemp shells, butterfly flowers and so on.

Because of the coloring of the petals of the flowers or mutations in the lotus orchid after the color is peculiar, become the odd-colored flowers, is a scarce and precious flowers. Lotus petal orchid odd-colored flowers have compound color flowers, butterfly flowers, onyx flowers and rim flowers, etc. The ornamental value is expressed in the flower's color singularity. The aesthetic requirement of the odd-colored flowers is to appreciate their preciousness, so it can not be divided according to the appreciation standard of the color flowers, and it can only be regarded as the famous flower of the odd taste, which belongs to a separate category.

In a nutshell, the harmonious beauty of flower color is the unique aesthetic content and requirements for identification and appreciation of lotus orchid flowers, and is the watershed that distinguishes the famous flowers from the general flowers in flower color, and is the indispensable yardstick for determining the grade. Therefore, the harmonious beauty of flower color naturally becomes an important criterion for appreciating the famous lotus orchid flowers. Harmonious aesthetics of flowers and leaves refers to the space position occupied by lotus orchid flowers and leaves in a pot of flowers, and the proportion between the size of the body and each other should be coordinated, and the combination of the two has a natural beauty. China's traditional orchid appreciation traditionally advocates that flowers must be superior to leaves, flowers are placed in prominent positions, and leaves are in the position of backing, favoring the artistic beauty of flowers. The floral art is the aesthetic criterion summarized according to the characteristics of traditional spring orchid plants with few leaves and not big plants. Lotus-petal orchid is not so, its plant is big, the leaves are powerful and the flowers are fragrant, the floral art not only emphasizes the artistry of the flower but also emphasizes the coordination of the flower and orchid leaves, which expands the floral art to the overall beauty and thus becomes an essential standard for aesthetics.

The famous flower of lotus petal orchid is a stereotyped variety, and the orchid leaves of each plant are 6 to 7, and most of the leaf shape is stereotyped as the annular type of drooping leaves, and only a few of them keep the upright type and the bow type in the wild state. China has always regarded the curvilinear shape as the most beautiful shape, and both orchid artists and orchid lovers like the curvilinear leaf shape.

The aesthetics composed of the harmonious beauty of flower and leaf of the famous lotus petal orchid flower is summarized in the contents of the requirements for appreciation: firstly, the space where the flower and leaf are located should be appropriate, and the flower should be open above the leaf surface. Flowers beyond the leaf surface, commonly known as flowers cover the leaves, also called flowers out of the frame. Lotus petal orchid most of the leaves drooping, relatively lowered the height of the plant, the flower stalks above the leaf surface, flowers also naturally beyond the foliage, flowers in the green leaves on the open, the two space occupied by the position of the flowers stand out, viewing at a glance. Of course, things always have two sides, aesthetics is also so, the aesthetic angle is different, the content of the requirements are different. Lotus petal orchid flowers do not come out of the frame, but there are also not out of the frame of the beauty of the strange things. "Hate the sky high" lotus petal orchid petal-type flowers, its flowers in the orchid leaves at the root foot of the open, distinctive pink flowers pitifully looking at the unreachable orchid leaves, always long to the sky and hate life, resentment of the sky is too high. "Hate the sky high" in the beauty of the flowers, but also in the flowers and plants and orchids and leaves occupied by the space anomaly, revealing the beauty of the peculiar, naturally produce another harmonious sense of beauty. On the contrary, a flower has no ornamental value, the flower is out of the shelf is not much beauty. Therefore, the space occupied by the flowers and leaves should be harmonious, the proportion should be coordinated is one of the aesthetic principles of the lotus petal orchid famous flower.

Secondly, the appreciation of lotus petal orchid famous flower requires that the size of flower and leaf should be proportional, the flower should be better than the leaf, the flower should be strong and the leaf should be weak. Lotus petal orchid due to the growth of different locations, the body type of the orchid leaves are also different, there are fine leaves, wide leaves and medium and wide leaves. Regardless of the type of leaf, the larger the size of the flower, the better, and the flower thus stands out above the orchid leaf. This is the case with the Lotus Petal Orchid, a spring orchid with many flowers in a single rod, which has many and large flowers, fully displaying the beauty of nature; there are also cases in which the flowers are surprisingly small, inversely proportional to the broad orchid leaves, and the leaf clusters completely outshine the small flowers, often called large leaves and small flowers. Once the flowers and orchid leaves are not in harmony with the body shape, the proportion is out of proportion, the flowers can not win the leaves, the leaves are strong and the flowers are weak, it is bound to lack the beauty of appreciation. Therefore, the aesthetic criterion advocated by the ancients that the flower should be superior to the leaf is very reasonable. This scale can be divided into famous flowers, so that the harmonious beauty of flower and leaf contrast is essential to identify the lotus petal orchid. The harmonious beauty of odd flowers refers to the variation from leaves to flowers in Lotus Orchid, which becomes the main content of viewing. These variations are not the result of artificial creation, but the variation within the plant produces a special artistic effect. In our country, we have always attached importance to the artistry of flowers, but not enough importance to the artistry of orchid leaves, therefore, we have not formed the art of orchid leaves as a content of appreciation. With the interaction of orchid artists and the exchange of orchid art, the content of domestic orchid art has been enriched, and the research on the artistry of orchid leaves has been gradually strengthened. As early as 80 years ago, the Japanese orchid community discovered and advocated the orchid art program, and then in the past 30 years, Taiwan and other places have also emphasized and developed this work, cultivated many beautiful works of art, and further pushed forward the level of orchid art in the leaf art. The various names of leaf art were firstly defined by the Japanese orchid community, and the leaf art was divided into three categories: claw, spot, and onyx, from which different kinds of species were divided, such as the spot was divided into tiger spot, kumisai spot, etc. The development of a large number of Lotus Orchids also made it possible to develop a large number of orchids. The development of lotus petal orchid in large quantities is less than ten years, there are some cultivated leaf art varieties, but due to the limited width of the leaf surface of this kind of orchid, it is unavoidable that there are deficiencies in the appreciation, so the influence of this kind of orchid is not yet wide.

In addition to the art of having variations on the foliage, the content and requirements of aesthetics are also in the quest for strange aspects, such as strange flowers and strange species. Lotus petal orchid dwarf species of grass, the leaves into lime green, leaf length of 12cm or so, close to one centimeter wide. This is expected to be able to bloom strange flowers or leaves appear on the art of germplasm resources. Dwarf seed grass must have a specific connotation, and the miniature rosettes introduced earlier have both differences and similarities, but can not be counted as the same species. Dwarf germplasm is characterized by five aspects, short, wide, round, thick and wrinkled. Short speaks of the leaf foot, petiole, blade short; wide refers to the same species in the leaf width wide, the smaller the ratio of length and width, the better; round speaks of the leaf end to become a rounded blunt shape; thicker refers to the leaf tissue is thick, have a sense of weight; wrinkled refers to the surface of the leaf blade has wrinkles, commonly known as toadstool skin. These five points must have at the same time in an orchid plant, can be called dwarf species, such as lotus petal orchid dwarf species of strange flowers, six short round petals open towards the sky, the tongue did not degenerate and keep the original petals, there is a strange beauty of the work of art.
