Jinjiang genuine 123

There are many types of orchids in the orchid greenhouse. When Ye Han came out of the tissue culture room, he saw other genera.

Like the Cyperus rotundus, it looks very similar to the Paphiopedilum orchid, and it also has a bulging pouch at the bottom. Many people cannot tell the difference between them.

A ladle refers to a spoon with a handle, which is a description of its shape.

Wei Lanyu: "We usually look at the leaves, Director, please look—"

"The leaves of the Cypripedium orchid are erect, wide and fewer in number, while the leaves of the Paphiopedilum orchid are drooping, narrower and more numerous."

Wei Lanyu: "Their growing environments are also very different. Cypripedium is cold-resistant and prefers a cool environment, while Paphiopedilum lives under tropical and subtropical forests and prefers warm and humid conditions."

What Ye Han was looking at was a Lijiang Orchid, a national first-class protected plant and an endangered species in the world.

It is very small, about 10 cm, with two broad leaves with dark green spots; the rhizome is short, making the flowers appear very large.

Ye Han moved closer and observed its petals carefully.

The petals are light yellow with a lot of purple-red spots. The top one is open, resembling the open lid of a pitcher plant. The petals on the left and right sides droop inward and gather together, like holding a bulging "poop", which is very cute and distinctive.

If the Paphiopedilum has varied colors and is both cute and beautiful, then the Cyperus rotundus looks like a small orchid with drooping petals, like a baby orchid holding a pocket, with its own cuteness and uniqueness.

Of course, this appearance is not for human viewing, but for survival.

Orchids are extremely deceptive plants and have the most varied flower colors and petal shapes.

More than one-third of the world's orchids have no nectar and cannot attract insects to feed on them, so they can only rely on brightly colored flowers and unique mimicry to attract insects for pollination.

For example, the flowers of the Tibetan Cyperus are purple-brown, sometimes almost black.

This shape is similar to the holes in the ground or trees that bumblebee queens use to lay eggs. It can trick the queen bee into entering the bag, and the granular pollen blocks will stick to her body to help her pollinate. ①

Ye Han thought of another more peculiar orchid.

Its petals look like female bees and can emit the same smell as female bees, luring male bees to mate with it.

It is actually possible to pollinate in this way.

Ye Han still remembers his surprise when he first saw it.

Orchids, although they look so beautiful, they are actually big liars in the plant world.

Nature has its own laws of survival.

Whether it's the pockets, spots, mimicry, or growing on trees or rock walls, these are all wonderful tricks they have come up with during tens of thousands of years of evolution.

Very magical.

Ye Han used the golden finger on this precious Lijiang Zhuolan.

Lijiang Zhuolan: "I'm so annoyed. Why haven't I tricked a single insect yet? Come and help me."

Lijiang Cypripedium: "Angry and crazy, shaking its petals darkly, trying to attract insects, but none of them came. Ahhhh, I'm so angry - Hey, someone is coming?"

Ye Han lowered his head and looked at the small orchid: "...I'm here."

The Lijiang Cyperus rotundus shook its petals and said proudly, "Just you, help me pollinate, understand? I am a first-class protected plant."

Ye Han couldn't help laughing: "Yeah."

During this visit to the X City Botanical Garden, Ye Han saw many kinds of orchids that he had never seen before, which was really an eye-opener.

For example, the spider orchid has petals that are slender and widely spaced, like the long legs of a spider; the tomenthol orchid has inflorescences that hang down in a cluster, similar to wisteria flowers, which are graceful and elegant.

Perhaps the only pity is that the orchid greenhouse here is a scientific research site, and you cannot see orchids growing in a natural environment.

In fact, it is not impossible to see.

There are many wild orchids hidden in the tropical rainforest, clinging to tree trunks or growing at the bottom of trees, but they are not eye-catching before they bloom.

When Ye Han prepares to go sampling tomorrow, he will focus on them and collect some samples of wild orchids to bring back for cultivation and research.

After visiting the orchid room, Director Xu took Ye Han to visit some bromeliads in the afternoon.

This is also an indispensable plant for building a tropical rainforest pavilion.

The most common bromeliads, such as air plants and air plants, grow on large trees and become an indispensable part of the "sky garden".

Water-storing pineapple, as the name suggests, can store water.

Most of its leaves are distributed spirally outward, and the center is tightly surrounded by leaves, catching rainwater like a water storage container, and it will not drain for a long time.

Large water-collecting pineapples can even accumulate 40-50L of water inside their leaves, which is equivalent to the water capacity of four washbasins and is no different from a small pond.

It is far inferior to the huge insect cage of Nepenthes rajah, which has a capacity more than ten times that of Nepenthes rajah.

Such environments provide homes for certain animals and plants.

Director Xu: "In the tropical rainforest, pineapple trees are the most suitable places for frogs to live and lay eggs. Many tree frogs lay eggs in them, which then hatch into tadpoles."

What the two are going to see now is a large water-accumulating pineapple - the imperial pineapple, which is native to Brazil.

The plants in front of us are about 1.2 meters tall, with leaves arranged outward like a rosette, similar in shape to agave, but the leaves are very wide, with a hint of red on the back, making them quite ornamental.

It is also very domineering. At first glance, it is obviously a large potted plant, with leaves extending outward and the width being larger than the height.

Ye Han looked at the water storage capacity inside the leaves. Due to the artificial control, the amount was not much, but just looking at its size and depth, he knew that it could store a lot of water.

But this is not the most surprising thing, the most amazing thing is its flowers.

Director Xu: "The royal pineapple, like the palm, is a one-time flowering and fruiting plant that dies after flowering and fruiting.

It often takes 8-10 years for it to bloom, with tall inflorescences rising from the center of the leaves, reaching an astonishing 3 meters in height.

At present, the height of this imperial pineapple has just reached above Ye Han’s waist. However, when it reaches the flowering period, its inflorescence will grow from the center of the leaves until it grows taller than the roof!

More than twice its size.

The bright red, thick inflorescences rise layer by layer, with flower spikes extending from both sides of each layer, looking very domineering.

Another wonder.

Director Xu: "These imperial pineapple plants have been growing for 8 years and are expected to bloom next year or the year after, producing thousands of seeds after flowering.

When their lives are over, the nutrients from their death will supply new seedlings, allowing them to continue growing.”

Forming the cycle of life.

In another 10 years, the seedlings will grow into tall imperial pineapples, and the amazing inflorescences will bloom again.

The reproduction of plants is so amazing.

Perhaps this is the secret behind their survival on Earth for billions of years.

While Director Xu was helping other plants clear weeds, Ye Han used the golden finger on one of the imperial pineapple plants.

Emperor Bromeliad: "Human, please apply more fertilizer this year, and it will bloom next year."

Ye Han sighed softly: "But after you bloom, you will die."

Emperor Pineapple: "Dead? No, this is not death."

Ye Han:?

She couldn't help but become serious and wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

Perhaps from the perspective of plants, this is a new life?

Imperial Pineapple: "As an emperor, it is my responsibility to reproduce."

Imperial Pineapple: "Just wait, my dynasty will never fall, and my descendants will create a more prosperous future!"

Ye Han: “…”

The slightly sentimental feeling in her heart instantly dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

Well, it seems that this pineapple's chuunibyou is a bit serious.

Emperor Pineapple: "Next year, I will entrust my offspring to you. You must take good care of them."

Ye Han: “…”

Ye Han was helpless: "Okay."

I just hope its offspring won’t be as childish as it is.

Earlier, the Usnea air plant known as 'Old Man's Beard' has also been introduced, as well as a variety of colorful bromeliads.

Their colors are bright and varied, almost any color can be found here, and some leaves even have stripes or spots of different colors, making them very ornamental.

When holding orchid exhibitions, these bromeliads are often exhibited together to bring different colors to the orchid exhibition.

After Ye Han returned, he already had an idea about setting up the orchid area.

Key orchid area: exhibits precious terrestrial orchids (growing on the ground), such as the Cyperus rotundus and some Paphiopedilums such as the Malipo Paphiopedilum.

The orchid area that is vacant after transplanting: limestone and large trees will be built to simulate the original ecological environment for their growth, and epiphytic orchids such as Dendrobium, Hoya, Comet orchid, etc. will be placed on them.

In addition, the 'Sky Garden' of the Tropical Rainforest Pavilion also requires a certain number of epiphytic orchids.

The quantity required is undoubtedly very large.

Ye Han plans to introduce more than 50 species of orchids, including those from the genera Paphiopedilum, Paphiopedilum, and Dendrobium, more than half of which are national protected plants of level 2 or above.

So what she wanted to take away were pollen, seeds and some tissue culture seedlings.

It is estimated that the cultivation scale can reach thousands of strains.

The plants used for exchange were seeds and bulbs of Victoria amazonica, seedlings of Darwinia orchid, parts of the female plants of Nepenthes rajah, and tubers of Vanvisia bicolor.

Each one is extremely precious, and some are even unique samples in the world, with extremely high scientific research value.

Next, Ye Han, together with Director Xu and two other researchers, entered the rainforest again to collect tropical plant samples.

Since there are many species of plants in the rainforest, this collection will be a great harvest.

When Ye Han was planning the overall plant plan, Wang Yun sent him a message, saying that the annual passes had started to be pre-sold.

She looked at the date and saw that it had just been on sale for two days, so she wondered how it was going.

Wang Yun's calm voice was tinged with excitement: "Director, on the first day of our annual pass sales, the number of applicants reached over 2,600!

Among them, ordinary VIP accounts for 71.2% of the total, parent-child and family cards account for 18.5%, and exclusive VIP cards account for 10.3%. ”

Both the number of people and the proportion exceeded expectations.

More than 2,600 people...The number of applicants in a single day is actually more than in a week last year!

Numbers can most intuitively reflect the changes in Huajianji in a year.

Today's Huajianji is no longer what it used to be.

What surprised Ye Han was that the number of tourists who applied for VIP status was much greater than she expected.

The price was 1,888 yuan, and we originally thought that tourists would carefully consider whether to apply for it. The application period was concentrated next month, but we didn’t expect that 270 people applied on the first day!

According to this trend, the number of people applying for VIP cards may exceed 15,000.

You should know that only 16,500 annual passes were issued last year, including 10-trip passes.

Even Ye Han couldn't help but sigh that this year is completely different from last year.

Ye Han: "Are there many people applying for physical cards?"

Wang Yun: “A lot, about 42%.”

The main thing is that the design is very beautiful. Even the quality of ordinary VIP cards exceeds that of other cards on the market, and they look very high-end at first glance.

Moreover, it can be replaced if lost, which greatly reduces the risk.

Especially the exclusive VIP card, which has two designs to choose from, and enjoys dual binding of physical card and electronic card, so it doesn’t matter even if you forget to bring it when you go out.

In this way, everyone will of course choose the card they like.

Ye Han pondered: "In the next two days, observe the number of applicants. If it can be maintained, customize another 4,000 exclusive VIP cards."

That should be about it.

Wang Yun: "Okay."

Wang Yun: “By the way, Director, the group of wild swans from last year came to our park again to spend the winter, and brought other swans with them.

Now some of them live in Swan Lake, and others have flown to the island in the middle of the Metasequoia forest."

"Different birds can be seen frequently on the lake island recently. Director Yuan from the Wildlife Conservation Association called and said he would come to inspect and count the number of wild birds in our botanical garden at the end of the month."

Ye Han smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."

After ending the call, Ye Han was in a particularly good mood.

I didn’t expect that the populations of mute swans and little swans would arrive so early this year, half a month earlier than last year.

They also brought other ethnic groups here.

Ye Han felt very pleased that this group of elegant creatures chose to spend the winter here again.

Since the bamboo rafting activities in the Metasequoia forest were cancelled in mid-September, birds coming here from other places can often be seen. As soon as you enter the Metasequoia forest, you can hear their crisp chirping.

Liu Yi took a lot of photos.

There are little egrets and great egrets covered with white feathers; cormorants with shiny black and green bodies; there are even kingfishers with emerald blue feathers on their backs; and sunbirds with small white circles around their eyes, whose calls are melodious and sweet, forming the wonderful music of nature.

At the same time, it attracted many bird lovers, who came to the lake with professional equipment to take pictures.

Although you cannot go to the island, you can sometimes take pictures of these wild birds catching fish or resting on branches on the water boardwalk near the lake.

It's very exciting.

The water in the water forest is clear, the aquatic plants are lush, and Ye Han has specially brought fresh fish and shrimp from the artificial lake. The large number of fish fry released is enough to meet the needs of the birds.

The central island in the lake is lush with vegetation and surrounded by dense reeds. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and is the most suitable habitat.

All the birds around that found this place could not resist such temptation, and the number of birds gathering here increased.

Some tourists also saw some large birds such as egrets flying from the Metasequoia forest to the artificial lake to find food. After a full meal, they landed on the huge Victoria amazonica, attracting tourists to take photos.

This is a scene that cannot be seen anywhere else, a leisurely and close-to-nature scene.

Ye Han didn’t know how many birds had gathered on the island in the middle of the lake, probably probably hundreds.

And in October and November, there will be more migratory birds coming, so the number should be even greater.

When the Wildlife Conservation Association from City W arrives, we will know exactly how many there are.

Ye Han stayed in City X for 5 days. After a series of visits, introductions, sampling, application submissions and agreements, he basically collected all the required plant species.

Sampling bags of more than 150 kinds of wild plants, orchid seeds, and seedlings under cultivation must be shipped back as soon as possible to keep them fresh to the greatest extent possible and increase the success rate of cultivation.

As for tall tropical plants, they also began to choose trees for transplanting and developed harvesting plans to avoid damaging the root systems as much as possible.

Ye Han watered all the plants that needed to be transplanted with nutrient solution in advance to prevent them from being damaged during the long journey.

Many of these plants are under national protection, so you must be extra careful.

Wang Hongnian and a group of gardening workers had received the notice in advance and were carefully confirming the distribution location of each tropical plant according to the design drawings provided by Ye Han, and would transplant the plants immediately after they arrived.

Dr. Yu and several researchers have also been preparing to prepare culture medium for the precious orchid seedlings and to do the preliminary work for low-temperature pollination and aseptic operations.

Wang Yun was responsible for dispatching vehicles and arranging more manpower to ensure that everything went smoothly.

All the employees gathered in Huajian were in action, just to welcome these tropical plants that were transported thousands of miles from Province Y.

After arranging all the affairs, Ye Han achieved 80% of his purpose of coming to Province Y.

There is still one type of plant that needs to be introduced - alpine rhododendron.

Next, she was going to the largest flower market in K City.

The fresh cut flowers there are very famous and have now developed into the largest fresh cut flower trading market in Asia, exporting to 46 countries and regions.

Seven out of every ten fresh cut flowers sold nationwide are produced here, making it a "barometer" of my country's flower market.

K City not only has the largest flower trading market, but also has a well-known flower breeding base in Y Province.

Ye Han has already made the arrangements in advance and is ready to go there tomorrow.

She originally planned to go alone, but in the end a group of four still set off together.

Ye Han: "Are you also going on a business trip to K City?"

Fu Yunze lowered his eyes uncomfortably and adjusted his cuffs, then cleared his throat: "Well, there is a project in K City."

Ye Han couldn't help wanting to laugh, and deliberately said: "Actually... I don't have to go to K City. I haven't finished my work here yet. How about you go there first tomorrow?"

Fu Yunze froze and suddenly looked up at her.

Seeing the girl's smiling eyes, he finally reacted and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, but his thin lips couldn't help but rise up.

Pan Heng watched from afar and thought to himself: Oh no, President Fu is being taken advantage of.

Alas, there is no hope.

Ye Han: "Then we'll go tomorrow."

Fu Yunze: "Okay."

Ye Han thought for a moment: "Will it affect your work? Actually--"

Fu Yunze: "No impact."

Pan Heng felt the cold gaze of President Fu: "......"

Okay, he knows he’s in the way, so he leaves.

well.

Mr. Fu, did you forget that you have a meeting tomorrow morning?

Fu Yunze proved with facts that he had not forgotten.

After dinner in the evening, after Ye Han returned to his room, the vice presidents began to report until almost one in the morning.

Ye Han received the price list sent by Manager Jin of K City.

This place is indeed a base for super large flowers, and the prices are much lower than she thought.

It feels like you can buy roses for 9.9 yuan/20 stems in the flower market in K City, but the price in a regular flower shop is 3 yuan per stem/60 yuan per bunch.

Of course, the former does not take into account transportation costs, rental and labor prices.

But we can see that there is a big gap.

Alpine rhododendron grows on mountains with an altitude of 2000-4500 meters. It prefers damp and cold conditions, is difficult to cultivate, and has a very high market price.

The original quotation was 1,500-2,000 yuan per pot, and rare varieties could reach more than 8,000 yuan; however, Ye Han looked at the quotation just sent by the other party, which was 500-1,000 yuan per pot.

The price is much cheaper.

She plans to introduce 2,000 alpine rhododendrons, which, including shipping costs and labor, will save at least 1 million yuan!

Oh my god.

Ye Han sighed again, the plants and flowers in Y Province are so abundant, diverse in variety and low in price, it was really worth coming here this time.

Note ①: Extracted from online information.

There is a correction I would like to make earlier. There are several species of plants in the Dipterocarpaceae family that are protected plants: Parashorea chinensis (first level), Podocarpus chinensis (first level), Podocarpus angustifolia (second level), and Osmanthus fragrans (second level), and most of them are endangered.
