Jinjiang genuine 33
"Where's the director?" After the garden closed that day, Liu Yi was preparing to report the "results" of video traffic, but he couldn't find anyone.
"It should be over there in the exhibition greenhouse." Security guard Hu Yuanfeng said, "The exhibition hall was built two days ago, but a lot of plants and flowers need to be transplanted there, so it's not open to the public yet."
"Oh." Liu Yi has been busy with video editing recently and didn't pay attention to the message. "Then I'll go find the director."
Ye Han transplanted the Boston fern, maidenhair fern and other ferns he brought back, and introduced some vines and mosses as part of the scenery. At this time, he asked Wang Hongnian and others to move the Epiphyllum over.
There are more than 100 pots of Epiphyllum, and it is a big project to put each one in the right place.
Because of the concern that tourists might enter by mistake, the "Under Construction" sign not far away and the sealing cloth on the outside have not been removed, and most people still don't know what the exhibition hall will look like after it is completed.
Liu Yi smelled the sweet fragrance of osmanthus along the way. Seeing Ye Han near the exhibition greenhouse, he came over excitedly to report, "Director, the Epiphyllum video posted on our account has already received over 500,000 likes in just two days!"
Especially the last video, which not only received a lot of likes, but also received a lot of reposts.
Almost everyone who clicked in was forwarding the message crazily, and from time to time they made various wishes such as "good health", "good luck in the exam", "successful landing", etc.
Because the title was tagged with [花间集-Ephemeral Bloom·Night Tour] and there was a watermark under the video, everyone could see the source of the video sharing, which invisibly gave a lot of publicity to 花间集.
Ye Han and his team basically don’t have to do anything, as there are already many people helping them.
In fact, after the popularity of Victoria regia and Twin Lotus, Huajianji has become quite famous on the Internet.
The official account often posts some "stunning glimpses" of scenes, which are forwarded by some photography enthusiasts or people who like them. Many people have a vague impression of them.
When I saw this tag, the impression that was originally buried deep in my memory suddenly became clear.
“So that’s it.” This is how most people feel when they see it.
The barrage is also discussing.
"Is this the location where Qingshuang's 'Dancing on the Leaves' was filmed?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I remember there was a particularly large Victoria amazonica that an adult could stand on!"
"I remember now. It's the Twin Lotuses, right? It was on the hot search list."
"The last time I went to see the Twin Lotus, it was gone, what a pity. So I'm going to see the Epiphyllum to make up for it (fist.jpg)"
"I suggest you sit in the bamboo forest for a while. It's known as a natural meditation garden and is very relaxing."
After being reminded by the barrage, people discovered that Huajianji is simply a treasure trove.
And it’s not one of those crowded popular tourist spots, so it’s very suitable for traveling.
It happens to be the National Day Golden Week, so the number of visitors to Huajianji has begun to rise rapidly. Even though the exhibition greenhouse has not yet opened, there is still a constant stream of tourists coming and going, reaching the point where they need to be diverted.
Ye Han smiled and looked at Liu Yi: "Thanks to your editing. I've seen it, it's very well shot, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Yi has indeed been busy these days.
On the day when the night-blooming cereus bloomed, we persisted in filming for seven or eight hours, from 7pm to 3am. After filming, we had to compress the video of the night-blooming cereus blooming into a 'fast-forward version' of less than one minute.
Fortunately, the flowers in Huajianji do not require some complicated lighting, beautification or photo editing. They are extremely beautiful and fairy-like in themselves, which saves a lot of time.
Liu Yi chuckled: "It's okay actually. I basically didn't get up until noon these past two days, so I didn't feel tired."
She saw the exhibition greenhouse at the back and her eyes lit up: "It's already been built. I want to go in and take a look."
"Okay, but the inside is not finished yet." Ye Han took her there.
As soon as Liu Yi entered the door, he felt the warm breeze and the greenhouse effect was very obvious.
But it was not the dry wind like in other pavilions, but a more natural wind, carrying the freshness of soil and grass, dispelling the stuffiness.
There is a full glass curtain wall above your head, which has good light transmittance and allows you to see scattered sunlight.
The main steel structure is a silver metal frame that crisscrosses across the glass curtain wall like a fence, reinforcing the 2,200-square-meter hemispherical structure.
Liu Yi raised his head to look at the ceiling, then looked around, and felt that his eyes had been opened.
It’s so big. Really so big.
It is also very tall, with the highest point in the center reaching 25 meters, which is taller than a 7-story building. No plant will feel that the space here is small.
The water in the water lily pond near the entrance is vast and clear, and it takes Liu Yi half a minute to walk around it.
The ground under his feet was paved with natural stones. The wet stones on both sides were surrounded by lush ferns. In front was a small arched stone bridge. When Liu Yi walked on it, he could see the gurgling stream and brown water stones below.
The waterfall in the central area is more than ten meters high, but not turbulent. It falls along the rockery and flows into a pool built with stones, and then extends into a stream that extends in all directions.
The mist filled the air, setting off the green trees and mosses beside the rockery, making it look like a wonderland in the woods.
Although the areas on both sides have not been built yet, just by looking at these natural scenes, Liuyi already has a sense of being immersed in the scene.
"This is the exhibition greenhouse." Liu Yi looked up and looked around, whispering softly.
You could say she was narrow-minded, but it was the first time she saw this type of exhibition hall, and she was shocked but also liked it very much.
I believe that tourists who come to Huajianji must like this pristine scenery just like her.
Ever since Yang Dongqiao accidentally saw a video of a blooming Epiphyllum in May, she was so astonished that she immediately wanted to grow one.
She usually likes these flowers and plants very much, but because she is busy with work and has no time to take care of them, she can't keep any that are too delicate.
"Let's try it first," Yang Dongqiao thought.
The main reason is that the blooming of the night-blooming cereus is so beautiful, and she really wants to see the appearance of the "ephemeral cereus" with her own eyes.
Since Yang Dongqiao didn’t see any flowers for sale in the local flower market, she had to buy them online.
She found a store with high reviews, but when she asked, she found out the prices were really expensive.
A three-year-old Epiphyllum costs 400 yuan, but the green ivy she grows only costs 12 yuan per pot, which is enough to buy more than 30 pots.
Customer Service: Dear, I’m here. I’m always here to answer any questions you have.
Flower lovers: Is Epiphyllum easy to grow?
Customer Service: It is easy to grow. Epiphyllum can survive as long as the temperature is suitable, and the current weather is just right.
I recommend you to buy this [3-year-old large-leaf Epiphyllum], it is guaranteed to bloom this year.
Flower lovers: What if it doesn’t bloom?
Customer Service: No, dear. We will send you precautions and give you professional guidance. Just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
If you have any questions, you can come to me, I'm always here.
With the customer service’s promises of [free replacement if the device dies within three months] and [guaranteed to bloom this year], Yang Dongqiao was deeply tempted.
The other party continued to use their trump card, offering a 50 yuan discount and free fertilizer. She no longer hesitated and placed the order immediately.
After getting the 60-centimeter-tall large-leaf Epiphyllum, Yang Dongqiao took good care of it, mixing granular soil with nutrient soil to maintain air permeability, watering it every 3-5 days, and applying fertilizer.
In June, I felt that the leaves had grown a lot.
From July to August, leaves continue to grow and begin to turn yellow.
She took a photo and contacted customer service.
Flower lovers: What's going on? [picture.jpg]
Customer Service: I’m here, dear. I’m always here to answer any questions you have.
We will switch to after-sales customer service for you immediately, please wait.
After-sales customer service: Dear, it may be that the light is too strong. You need to provide shade. Epiphyllum cannot be exposed to the sun.
Flower lover: Didn’t you say before that flowers must be given sufficient light?
After-sales customer service: The sunlight is too strong, please provide shade, dear.
Flower lover: ...OK.
She moved the Epiphyllum from the balcony indoors.
September.
Flower lovers: Didn’t you say it would bloom this year? Why hasn’t it bloomed yet? [picture.jpg]
Customer Service: Please wait.
After-sales customer service: Dear, I have checked. It is because too little fertilizer was applied. The Epiphyllum will not bloom without sufficient nutrients.
Flower lovers: ...the frequency and amount of fertilization are according to what you said.
After-sales customer service: Then please cut off the newly grown leaves. If there are too many leaves, the flowers will lack nutrition.
Flower Lover: Then I’ll try it.
Yang Dongqiao resigned herself to her fate and started cutting leaves.
Maybe because she cut it too much, the Epiphyllum became a little wilted, which scared her so much that she dared not cut it anymore. She could only water and fertilize it patiently, hoping that it would bloom day by day.
Early October.
Flower lovers: Didn’t they say it would bloom this year? Why hasn’t it bloomed yet?
After-sales customer service: It should be because there is not enough light. It needs sufficient sunlight to bloom.
Flower lovers:..............
Flower Lover: I want to return the goods.
After-sales customer service: I’m sorry, it’s been more than 3 months since you purchased the product and you cannot return it.
Yang Dongqiao was so angry that she almost died.
I spent 350 dollars and carefully cared for it for half a year, but now that the flowering period is almost over, there is no sign of blooming.
She searched online and found many people had the same situation as her.
I've been raising it for several years and have tried every possible method, but it just won't bloom.
Some people also say that it is easy to grow and it blooms on its own without much care, and more than ten flowers bloom at a time.
Alas, this thing is just metaphysics.
Yang Dongqiao lay on the bed and started watching videos in despair.
Maybe because she often browses content related to Epiphyllum, big data immediately pushed to her the currently popular videos.
Seeing 30 pure white and elegant night-blooming cereus flowers blooming at the same time, Yang Dongqiao sat up from the bed.
Oh my god, whose Epiphyllum is this?
It’s too well raised.
People who have never grown Epiphyllum may not understand, but as a flower grower, she understands the hardships involved best.
It is difficult for flowers to bloom, let alone so many flowers to bloom at once.
Yang Dongqiao couldn't help but watch the video twice more. She felt that the Epiphyllum in the video seemed to have an elegant temperament.
The shape and number of petals and the extent of bloom were far superior to the night-blooming cereus she had seen. Even the thick leaves looked emerald green, without any of the roughness of cactus plants.
Let’s take another look at the publisher—Hua Jian Ji?
Is this the name I gave to my yard? It sounds pretty nice.
Yang Dongqiao followed the account, clicked into it, and then discovered a new world.
This is not just one Epiphyllum, there are five Epiphyllums blooming at the same time, with a total of more than 100 flowers!
Under the hazy moonlight, large and small night-blooming cereus hung on the branches like a waterfall, blooming one after another as if by agreement. The petals were as white as snow, graceful and charming, which was fascinating.
She had never seen such a scene before.
So shocking.
Yang Dongqiao watched this rare spectacle again and again, and the desire to see it with her own eyes was aroused in her heart.
She keenly caught the information about "Hua Jian Ji" on the barrage, opened the ticket purchasing APP software, and searched for "Hua Jian Ji".
It’s in W City, not too far away.
The ticket price for [Epiphyllum Night Tour] is 30 yuan. Yang Dongqiao felt depressed when she thought about the Epiphyllum that she bought for 350 yuan but could not bloom.
If she had known there was a botanical garden that focused on "ephemeral flowers", she wouldn't have needed to buy that pot of epiphyllum. The money she saved would have been enough for her to visit it more than a dozen times.
I have been working for nothing for half a year.
Yang Dongqiao was preparing to book tickets for the evening of October 7, but found that all the tickets for that day were fully booked.
Not only that, the ones on October 8th and October 9th are also sold out.
At this moment, a reminder popped up on the interface: [Please make an appointment in advance, otherwise you will not be able to enter the park, thank you for your cooperation. ]
She had no choice but to choose the second weekend after the Golden Week and bought the ticket as quickly as possible.
Otherwise I'd worry about not being able to buy it because it's so popular.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up. You finally got out." Sun Ya tried to drag her best friend up from the hotel bed.
"Ah - I never want to travel again." Liu Siyuan wailed and stood up reluctantly.
She had originally planned to have fun during the eight-day National Day Golden Week plus the three-day annual leave, but ended up just following the crowd and lost all interest.
On September 28, I took the high-speed rail to Y City for the first day. In the evening, I went to the ancient street. It was crowded and I had to move one step at a time.
The next day I went to a very popular ancient town and my shoes were almost stepped on when I was standing on the bridge.
I was so tired when I went hiking on the third day. When I watched the sunrise in the morning, the sky was so crowded with people that I couldn't even take a photo.
I was sleepy and tired, so I slept in the hotel for a whole day after I came back, and slept until the morning of the fifth day.
In the blink of an eye, half of the 11-day vacation was wasted. I spent a lot of money booking a hotel, but in the end I saw nothing but people.
Sun Ya: "Pack up quickly, we have to go to W City this afternoon. There are many tourist attractions there, such as wetland parks, ancient towns, gardens, and yes, there is also a large-scale chrysanthemum exhibition."
"...It must be full of people. And every tourist attraction is almost the same, so it's boring." Liu Siyuan washed her face with cold water and felt that her skin had become worse.
What kind of traveling is that? It's just coming here to suffer.
Haha, next time she goes out to travel during National Day, she will be a dog!!
Sun Ya thought back to her experiences over the past few days and sighed silently in her heart.
Just like my bestie said, going out during the National Day holiday is indeed a mistake, as there are too many tourists, the experience is poor, and the attractions are all very similar.
When they first came to Y City, they felt that the Jiangnan water town was gentle and charming, and they strolled along the ancient streets and took a night cruise...
But now I realize that they are all the same after watching them for a long time.
Besides, there are really too many tourists, and every scenic spot is crowded with people. It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
"Then I'll check what other attractions there are in W City." Sun Ya said.
The hotel and bus tickets have been booked, so it’s difficult to cancel, but you can change to another scenic spot.
It is best to choose a niche attraction with its own characteristics that can give people a unique experience.
She searched for attractions in W City on the travel app, and the first one on the list was the chrysanthemum exhibition in the National Forest Park, which was extremely popular; followed by various 4A/5A scenic spots, the city museum...
Scrolling down, Sun Ya saw the name of "Hua Jian Ji" and a rating of 5.0 at the back.
Rating 5.0?
Sun Ya was stunned. It was the first time she saw such a high rating.
This shows that the reputation is very good.
Huajianji Botanical Garden.
From the name it doesn't sound like a national 3A/4A scenic spot, and it's not very popular either, so it should be quite niche.
Sun Ya clicked on it and played the introductory video.
The first second of the video shows the scene of pure white Epiphyllums slowly blooming in the night. The huge number of flowers and the amazing visual effect, accompanied by a slightly cold female voice, make people immersed in this wonder.
A flash in the pan.
It turns out this is the legendary 'flash in the pan'!
Sun Ya couldn't hide her excitement.
To be honest, she had only heard of the name of "a flash in the pan" before, but had never seen it.
This was the first time she saw the beautiful sight of Epiphyllum blooming under the moon, and she could feel the shock even through the screen.
"Siyuan, come here quickly - oh my god, I found a treasure check-in spot!"
"Here I come, where are you?"
"Look at this video. I guarantee you've never seen it before. It's a flash in the pan!"
"Epiphyllum? Oh my god, it's so beautiful." Liu Siyuan came over to take a look, her eyes suddenly widened, full of amazement.
No wonder 'a flash in the pan' is so famous, it's really shocking.
And after the night-blooming cereus, there is the aerial view of Huajianji, which passes before their eyes like a kaleidoscope of flowers.
The waterfall rushes down, and the trees are lush on both sides of the road; the lake is so clear that you can see the bottom, and koi fish swim; huge royal water lily leaves are arranged on the lake like green boats; the quiet bamboo forest is as tall as the clouds, and the bamboo leaves sway gently in the breeze; there are also golden osmanthus flowers on the branches, and various cute succulent potted plants...
Every scene is unconventional and unique. Isn’t this the place they are looking for?
"Let's go here, let's go here!" Liu Siyuan said hurriedly.
“[Epiphyllum Night Tour] tickets, wow, buy this, buy this!”
Liu Siyuan snatched the phone from her best friend and quickly bought tickets. She would cry if she couldn't buy tickets for such a rare attraction.
Because they bought the tickets early by accident, they were able to book tickets for the evening of October 7th. If they were a few hours later, they would have been sold out.
"We will go to the chrysanthemum exhibition on the morning of October 7, sleep in the hotel in the afternoon, and go to Huajianji in the evening."
"Okay, it's a happy decision!"
Liu Siyuan was thinking excitedly, and her mood completely changed from cloudy to sunny.
She quickly packed herself up and began to pack her suitcase, even looking forward to the journey ahead.
If I could see the 'blip' with my own eyes, this National Day trip... wouldn't seem so bad.
10.7 days.
After closing the museum during the day, Ye Han prepared to confirm the night-blooming cereus that would bloom tonight.
Since the main feature is the Epiphyllum, at least 3-5 Epiphyllums must be in bloom every night so that tourists standing at different angles can enjoy the fleeting beauty of the Epiphyllums.
At the same time, the position of Epiphyllum flowers should be adjusted frequently and they should not be clustered together.
Ye Han came to the fence outside the wall of Epiphyllums and used the golden finger on them.
The peacock night-blooming cereus shook its leaves and said, "I am ready to let people admire my amazing beauty. Tonight, everyone will be overwhelmed by my beauty."
Peacock Epiphyllum: "It's a pity that they can never have me. After all, I am so noble and beautiful."
Ye Han: “…”
Large-leaf Epiphyllum No. 5: "This is the second bloom this year. There will definitely be more and bigger flowers than the first time. Believe in yourself and keep going!"
Ye Han curved her almond eyes and said, "Yes, come on."
Then she walked to the highlight of the night - the small-leafed Epiphyllum that was more than 2 meters tall.
It was placed high up in the 'Epiphyllum Wall', with the drooping branches combed out with a rack and the new leaves trimmed, making it look much neater.
Because it has absorbed a lot of nutrient solution, it has lush branches and leaves and is bigger than when it was first bought.
Epiphyllum microphyllum: "The temperature here is good, and the light is comfortable. It makes me want to bloom. There is no beauty in the desert. It's all about survival. For survival, do you understand?"
Ye Han nodded: "I understand."
Ye Han looked at the flower buds that were full on its leaf-like stems. There were buds on almost every leaf, at least four or five hundred of them. He wondered how many would bloom tonight.
But it will be amazing.
At 7:40 in the evening, Liu Siyuan and Sun Ya arrived at Exit 2 of Huajianji and lined up.
Many tourists arrived earlier than them and spontaneously lined up in four long queues. They were all eager to come and admire the ephemeral flowers. Most of them were locals from W City.
Around 7:55, the line in front started to move. Because the number of reservations was limited, it was not very crowded. The two followed the line into the park at exactly 8 o'clock in the evening.
After entering the door, the two saw the exhibition greenhouse standing not far away.
So close.
The huge hemispherical building stands above the ground, like a dormant ancient beast. It is magnificent and its dome is taller than a 7-story building.
The staggered silver steel frames emit the unique cold glow of metal under the illumination of night lights. Bright lights are emitted from the greenhouse, and through the all-glass curtain wall, one can see the vague green and rockery scenery.
Even before entering, the appearance alone gives people a sense of intimidation.
"Let's go, let's go there quickly." Liu Siyuan couldn't wait any longer.
The two followed the crowd in and felt the warmth of spring as soon as they entered the door.
Sun Ya took off her coat and wore only a short-sleeved T-shirt.
The breeze blowing on your face is warm but not dry. It feels like a spring breeze, making you feel very comfortable.
Liu Siyuan saw the water lily pond at the door and stopped in her tracks.
There are hundreds of water lilies with leaves floating in the pond. Fresh water is led out from the holes in the rockery next to it, flowing obliquely downwards, falling into the water along the pond wall, causing gentle ripples. The small round lotus leaves sway gently with the waves.
“So beautiful.”
If she doesn't look at the Epiphyllum, she can just look at the water view for a long time.
In the middle of the water lily pond are several water lilies in full bloom. Unlike ordinary water lilies, these are golden with orange in color, which is very rare.
Their flowers are compact in shape, with layers of petals stuck together, like a goblet filled with floral fragrance, giving people a unique sense of freshness.
[A new cold-resistant water lily variety, 'Canjin', has large flowers and won the 'Excellent' award in the cold-resistant water lily competition. It was developed by the W City Research Institute. ]
A tourist nearby saw the introduction sign next to the pool.
"Wow, it's a new breed."
“No wonder I haven’t seen it before.”
"It's really beautiful, take some more photos."
The night-blooming cereus has not yet bloomed, and the place is full of people, so many latecomers come to appreciate the surrounding scenery nearby.
After admiring the water lily pond, Sun Ya and her companion immediately went to look for the Epiphyllum they had been longing for, and then they were stunned.
Just a dozen meters to their right, the ground was surrounded by a 60-centimeter fence. The inside of the fence was covered with soil and covered with dense ferns, and above it was an exceptionally wide wall of Epiphyllums.
More than one hundred pots of Epiphyllum are "inlaid" on a wall about thirty to forty meters long, with their heights staggered and dense leaves hanging down from mid-air, blocking the pots and covering the entire wall, forming a plant wall so huge that its boundaries are almost invisible.
"Oh my God! There are so many night-blooming cereus. How many are there?"
“Could it be that the night-blooming cereus grew out of the wall?”
"No, absolutely not. I've seen it. It grows in a flowerpot."
However, even though they knew it was not the case, people were still confused by the scene and could not hide their surprise. This was the visual effect brought about by the Epiphyllum Wall.
“It’s blooming, it’s blooming, the night-blooming cereus is blooming!!”
"A flash in the pan—"
Someone shouted, and the tourists all rushed in that direction. However, before they could get there, someone else spotted a blooming Epiphyllum and shouted, "Over here, the Epiphyllum over here has bloomed too!"
"No need to go over there—"
Sun Ya and the other person thought they would have to experience the pushing and crowding again, but after hearing this, everyone stopped rushing over and stayed where they were, looking for the most suitable angle to observe this spectacle.
Liu Siyuan also looked up.
Although the blooming Epiphyllum was not directly in their sight, they could still be seen clearly due to the height.
Like a very slow shot in a movie, a large-leaf Epiphyllum that was more than 1 meter tall slowly raised up more than 20 flower buds at the end of its leaf-like stem, with a little orange on the outside, like an elongated bouquet of flowers.
Then, the outermost circle of slender petals slowly opened like long whiskers, opening wider and wider, revealing the pure white petals inside.
The slightly wider petals also began to bloom along the outer circle, becoming fuller and fuller as they go inward, as light as feathers and as white as snow. Under people's gaze, the layers of petals opened little by little from the center, like a cold beauty gently pulling open her veil in the moonlight, attracting all the attention of the people.
For a moment, no one spoke. All the tourists watched the scene in front of them with bated breath, and took out their mobile phones or professional cameras to capture this rare spectacle.
