Jinjiang genuine 34
Liu Siyuan and the other person were attracted by this scenery they had never seen before and were stunned for a moment. It was not until they noticed that others were taking out their phones to take pictures that they reacted and took out their phones from their pockets.
Because she was too excited, the phone almost slipped from Liu Siyuan's palm. She caught it quickly, her heart beating loudly.
This view really needs to be photographed.
It's so rare.
Liu Siyuan stepped on the stone steps behind her, holding her cell phone high, and caught a glimpse of many people's photography equipment out of the corner of her eye.
Mobile phones are just the most common. Many people have professional cameras hanging around their necks and are constantly adjusting the focus of the lens with a focused look on their faces.
What's even more exaggerated is the few young people standing in the front. I don't know if they are professional photographers or amateurs. They just come with tripods to take pictures, which shows how much they value this "flash in the pan".
The process of Epiphyllum blooming is very slow. It does not last for just one or two minutes as shown in video editing. It often lasts for a while.
But the feeling of seeing it in person is completely different from what is shown in the video.
Liu Siyuan could see that the outermost circle of slender petals of the Epiphyllum opened up like a command arrow, continuously stretching outwards until it expanded to 90 degrees, radiating outwards in a "baring fangs and claws" shape on the periphery, like a protective umbrella for the petals inside.
She can see the texture of the Epiphyllum petals under the light, as light as a feather, white and transparent, with the petal tips slightly bent inward and stacked together; she can feel the unique vitality and vigor of this cactus plant, and experience the unique beauty of "ephemeral".
This is something that cannot be experienced in the video.
Even if she uses her mobile phone to take pictures now, what she captures is just a two-dimensional image, which is far from being as vivid and real as seeing it with her own eyes.
What surprised her most was that the night-blooming cereus was really big.
It was not at all the elegant and refined thing she had imagined, but rather had the characteristics of a cactus plant, and was not at all small and delicate.
Moreover, its flowers grow on old leaves (leaf-like stems). Several side branches grow from the end of the leaf-like stems, with small thorns on them, and then there are wrapped flower buds. It's so magical.
Liu Siyuan held up her cell phone and looked out of the phone at the funnel-shaped Epiphyllum that was opening little by little.
It was less than half open now, but she felt that it would be much larger than her palm when fully opened.
Her judgment was indeed correct.
The first two Epiphyllums to bloom are the common large-leaf Epiphyllums, with relatively thick leaves. The number of flowers is not large, but the flowers are extremely large, equivalent to the size of two palms, and the diameter of the flowers can reach 25-30 cm, bringing a strong visual effect.
Just as the two night-blooming cereus plants were slowly blooming as people were photographing them, another night-blooming cereus plant raised its bud that was hanging from the bottom of its leaf-like stem, stretched out from the dense branches and leaves, and its slender petals on the outside began to open outward.
"Oh my god, look over there, another night-blooming cereus is blooming—"
Someone glanced inadvertently and saw another night-blooming cereus blooming on the right. He couldn't help but exclaimed and pointed in that direction.
Other people around also looked in that direction. Some tourists opened their mouths in shock and started talking about it.
"Oh my god, it's only been half an hour since I came in and three pots of Epiphyllums have already bloomed!"
“I wonder how many plants will bloom today?”
"This is just a flash in the pan! How lucky am I to have seen it three times in a row? I must make a wish."
"The ticket price is totally worth it. Phew, I definitely made the right decision to come to Huajianji this time."
The tourists in the exhibition hall were all excited about this rare sight and took photos continuously.
They were the first group of tourists here, and they originally had some concerns in their hearts. After all, the blooming of ephemeral flowers is uncontrollable, and some flower growers have waited for many days and nights but have never seen them bloom.
However, the scene before them far exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only did the ephemeral phenomenon appear, but three of them appeared at the same time!
Let every visitor who comes to visit be feasted for the eyes.
Epiphyllums were blooming in front of us, and the crowd crowded in the middle moved forward one after another. The road suddenly became much wider and no longer as crowded as before.
Some tourists who arrived later were also able to come through the water lily pond at the entrance and admire the night-blooming cereus up close.
Liu Siyuan and the other person walked forward for a distance, looking for a more suitable location for filming.
"Xiaoya, here! Look, there is a stone staircase here."
Liu Siyuan found that the scenery of Huajianji was very user-friendly. Wide stones were used to raise the walking stones on both sides to make it easier for them to appreciate the beauty of the "ephemeral" flowers.
Not far behind me are rockery and waterfalls that are more than ten meters high. I can hear the sound of falling water. White mist is spreading along the pool, bringing a sense of moisture and coolness, as if I were in a mountain stream.
So comfortable.
Liu Siyuan smelled the faint scent of grass and trees in the air and was deeply fascinated by the environment here.
The one blooming this time is the Peacock Epiphyllum.
Its leaves have degenerated, leaving only fleshy leaf-like stems. The white petals growing from the end are all slender and open to a wide range. The two or three circles of petals on the outside are almost more than 90 degrees, and the petals in the middle do not close together, but stand apart, just like a blooming white chrysanthemum.
The slender petals stand upright, showing a proud character.
Although not as soft and elegant as the common night-blooming cereus, its petals are slender and equally beautiful.
Many tourists are taking pictures of it with their devices. The peacock night-blooming cereus is as proud and beautiful as its name suggests.
Ye Han smiled as he looked at the blooming Epiphyllum in the monitoring room. This 'little peacock' really amazed everyone.
Many tourists are taking photos of it, they must be very happy.
Three night-blooming cereus plants bloomed one after another, with more than 70 flowers in total, each with different shapes, but all so white and beautiful.
Under the illumination of the lights, the mysterious veil is gently lifted, revealing the cold face to everyone, just like a fairy descending under the moon, bringing tourists an excellent visual effect.
Just when everyone thought that all the night-blooming cereus had bloomed tonight, the largest and most luxuriant small-leafed night-blooming cereus located high on the wall in the center of the night-blooming cereus wall began to move.
It is more than 2 meters tall, with hundreds of slender leaves. The emerald green and curved leaf-like stems hang down along the wall. It is lush and flourishing, like a huge waterfall-like fan, covering the surrounding walls.
There are more than ten tiny flower buds at the end of almost every leaf-like stem. When not open, the flower heads face downward and are covered by layers of leaves.
However, at this time, its flower buds began to slowly curl up from a drooping state, gradually appearing before the public's eyes.
At that moment, the lights on the top and side walls of the wall automatically dimmed a bit, and the light scattered from the top was as bright as moonlight, falling from the sky, and then converging into beams of light falling on it.
The tourists' attention also focused on it, their eyes widened, and they even put down their mobile phones unconsciously.
This is...?
Is this giant night-blooming cereus about to bloom?
The huge exhibition greenhouse was crowded with people, and from time to time, the sound of small inhalations could be heard, but at the same time, everyone tried to maintain silence.
Everyone even slowed down their breathing and made it very light, for fear of ruining this "once-in-a-lifetime" spectacle.
Under the silent gaze of hundreds of people, countless flower buds stretched out from the small nests on the side branches, changing from a drooping posture to an upward posture in the air. The flower buds accumulated layer by layer from top to bottom and from left to right.
Then--
As agreed, they bloom at the same time.
Just like thousands of pear trees in bloom, the outer 'tentacles' and slender petals of hundreds of buds slowly open, with even the same amplitude. Then the petals inside gradually become wider and rounder, and the circle formed by layers of petals gradually gets bigger.
The faint "moonlight" shines on it, making the petals almost transparent.
It is whiter than the snow lotus blooming in Tianshan Mountains and lighter than falling feathers. In front of it, everything is just a foil. When the beauty under the moon lifts her veil and smiles sweetly, all other things pale in comparison.
Liu Siyuan looked up at them, her slightly dazed pupils reflecting their opening appearance.
Slowly, as if in slow motion, white night-blooming cereus dotted the waterfall-like green branches, blooming little by little. It was impossible to count how many there were. All that could be seen were numerous white flowers, covering half of the wall.
In a trance, she seemed to see several huge 'green peacocks' landing on the wall.
Their gorgeous tail feathers hang down from above, spreading out at a 60-degree angle, forming a fan shape that is more than 2 meters high. The tail feathers are layered, thick and dense, and hang straight down in the center of the wall, which is amazing.
The 'peacock's false eyes' scattered on the tail feathers are magnified dozens of times, appearing pure white in the night. They keep changing and opening outward with the passage of time, blending with the bright moonlight, looking elegant, holy and touching.
So beautiful.
It is a hundred times more shocking than "a peacock spreading its tail".
Liu Siyuan recorded this wonderful sight with her naked eyes, and it was then deeply imprinted in her mind, forming an incomparably beautiful and unforgettable picture.
Along with the shock in my heart and the violent heartbeat, it is permanently stored in my mind.
Unforgettable.
After a brief moment of shock, the tourists gradually came to their senses and hurriedly picked up their equipment to capture the spectacle before their eyes.
The number of blooms of Epiphyllum microphyllum is greater than that of other Epiphyllums, but never has such an astonishing number of blooms appeared.
A few years ago, an old man raised a small-leaf Epiphyllum that grew more than 100 flowers overnight. The uploaded video received nearly a million likes on major platforms. Everyone in the comment section was shocked by such a large number and praised the old man for being an expert in growing flowers.
It is said that he was interviewed by a local TV station because of this incident, and it became popular on the Internet for a long time.
If you search for words related to 'number of Epiphyllum flowers' now, this information will still appear on the homepage.
The huge Epiphyllum in front of us is more than 2 meters tall, with its leaf-like stems full of blooming flowers. The number of flowers in bloom is obviously more than 100.
Someone began to count silently.
It is really hard to count, there are just too many of them, and the branches and leaves are too dense. Some of the Epiphyllums are blocked by the leaves, and some cannot be seen clearly from the side, so you will miss them if you are not careful.
But it couldn't stop everyone's curiosity.
"346 flowers..." one of the guys finished counting and murmured softly.
Then he swallowed, shocked by the number he had counted.
He must have counted wrong, right?
After all, there are so many of them, so it is possible that the numbers are wrong.
More than 300 flowers, this number is really scary.
If an ordinary night-blooming cereus has more than a dozen flowers, it is considered a great fortune. Some people even grow it for several years and only get one flower to bloom. How stingy they are! However, there are many people who don’t even have a single flower to bloom, and this group of people makes up the majority.
Usually, the ones that bloom more are the 'old trees' that are more than ten years old. Most people don't have the patience for this, and many of them die halfway through.
If a small-leaf Epiphyllum has thirty or forty flowers, it is considered a good grower. If it has more than 100 flowers, it is an "Internet celebrity", just like the Epiphyllum grown by the old man, which has been popular on the Internet for quite some time.
The young man took a deep breath and thought to himself, 'I must have counted wrong.'
So I decided to count it again.
Liu Siyuan and Sun Ya were standing in a central position with a good view, so they could appreciate this incomparable Epiphyllum from all angles.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but count out of curiosity.
“345….”
“348!”
After counting, both of them were shocked and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Oh my god.
More than 300 flowers blooming at once, what does that mean?
In the video previously released by Huajianji, a total of 120 flowers bloomed on the five Epiphyllums, which is already a very astonishing number, and this particularly huge Epiphyllum itself has more than 300 flowers.
This is nearly three times the total number of flowers blooming from the five Epiphyllum plants!
Not only that, when she was counting just now, Sun Ya found that there were still many unopened flower buds at the end of the leaves. When added together...Oh my God!
Wouldn’t that be far more than 300 flowers? !
Apparently there are many people who are as curious as they are.
Many young people were taking pictures with their mobile phones while keeping their eyes on the Epiphyllum and muttering to themselves.
Then within two minutes, they suddenly gasped and looked shocked.
Then I started to wonder if I had counted wrong.
So his eyes kept moving above the Epiphyllum, and he continued to mutter to himself and began to count for the second time.
On the first night, a total of four Epiphyllums bloomed in the exhibition greenhouse of Huajianji: two large-leaf Epiphyllums, one peacock Epiphyllum, and one small-leaf Epiphyllum.
It is a feast for the eyes of tourists who come to watch.
In particular, we witnessed the 'Epiphyllum King' with more than 300 flowers blooming - yes, this is the title given to it by some tourists.
There has never been such a large number of night-blooming cereus blooming in one night in China, let alone 300, not even 200.
The ones with more than 100 flowers have been interviewed on TV, let alone the one in front of you.
It is simply a miracle in the world of epiphyllums!
The title of 'Epiphyllum Flower King' is well deserved.
Since the night-blooming cereus bloomed, its rich fragrance has spread throughout the entire exhibition hall. While appreciating the "ephemeral" flower, people can also feel the unique aroma it brings, making everyone involuntarily immersed in this rare scene, without feeling the passage of time at all.
It was not until the broadcast reminded that there were 15 minutes left before closing that the tourists woke up from their dreams.
Before they knew it, they had been here for nearly two hours!
So fast.
I've never felt time pass so quickly.
Normally, my legs would start to go numb after standing still for two hours, but now I don’t feel anything at all.
It's because their entire minds are attracted by the "flash in the pan" wonder and they have no time to care about anything else.
There were also some who brought professional equipment, carrying huge photography backpacks and tripods more than one meter high. Because the angle of the Epiphyllum Wall was high, they needed to bend over all the time when shooting and adjust the lens from time to time, but they did not find it troublesome at all.
It’s so worth it to be able to capture such a view!
The photography enthusiasts looked through the videos and photos in their cameras with obvious smiles on their faces.
In the two hours tonight, I enjoyed a sight that 99.9% of people will never see in their lifetime. How could I feel tired?
When the inner excitement reaches a certain level, it will replace the physical fatigue. Not to mention being tired, they can now walk another two kilometers with their camera bags on their backs.
Liu Siyuan and the other person were also awakened by the broadcast.
It feels like being in the midst of nature, feeling the gentle spring breeze, hearing the splashing sound of waterfalls and winding streams, walking on slightly inclined stone steps, surrounded by lush ferns and some unknown small flowers; white mist is all around, moist and warm, accompanied by the fragrance of epiphyllums and the scent of grass and trees, as if in fairyland.
In the wonderland, they saw the Epiphyllum blooming on the wall and witnessed the spectacle of "ephemeral beauty". The surroundings were very quiet. For a moment, they could not even feel the presence of other people. There were only the two of them.
Hundreds of night-blooming cereus bloom quietly in the moonlight, pure and elegant, like beauties dancing under the moon. The visual effect is amazing, and they are like Alice who have accidentally entered this fantasy scene.
And now - the dream is over.
"The museum will close in 15 minutes." Sun Ya whispered.
She looked at the four fully blooming night-blooming cereus on the wall, her tone very reluctant.
I felt like I just saw it, how come it’s almost 10 o’clock already.
"...Let's go out slowly. There are so many people here." Liu Siyuan looked at the crowd around her. Many tourists were still taking pictures. Some of them had to go out first.
She sighed inwardly.
I haven’t seen the orchid area next to it yet. It seems there is a water lily pond at the back, but I wonder what kind of water lilies there are.
There are also succulents in the glass greenhouse. Ah, there are so many attractions that I haven’t seen!
I really want to watch them all.
With this thought in mind, an idea suddenly came to her mind, and it became stronger and stronger. "How about we do it tomorrow——"
"Let's do it again tomorrow."
The two of them said this almost at the same time, and smiled at each other. The tacit understanding between best friends for many years needs no words.
"Come during the day this time."
"Yes, that's what I was going to say."
After the exhibition greenhouse is set up, it will remain open. If they come tomorrow during the day, they will not only be able to enjoy the scenery that they didn’t have time to see tonight, but also visit other attractions in Huajianji.
For example, the Victoria amazonica, osmanthus garden, bamboo forest, and succulent potted plants in the glass greenhouse mentioned in the introduction video...
Thinking of this, I felt infinite anticipation in my heart, and my steps to leave finally felt much easier.
By the time all the tourists had dispersed, it was around 10:20.
In fact, the exhibition greenhouse is very close to Gate 2, and it only takes two minutes to leave from the exit. Unfortunately, many tourists waited until the last minute of closing time when the security guards came to "drive people away" before they put away their camera equipment and left reluctantly.
There were quite a few tourists, several hundred in number, who came out of the gate in a large crowd, causing a certain degree of congestion, and they were evacuated by security for a while.
Several photographers insisted on staying. They wanted to capture the entire process of the "ephemeral" and were willing to pay a fee.
After all, this scene is really rare.
Four Epiphyllums bloomed together, especially the small-leaved Epiphyllum with a full tree of flower buds. It is definitely the best in the country, and the amount of flowers it blooms is amazing.
They counted them and found there were more than 300 flowers!
No one has ever seen so many night-blooming cereus bloom in one night, not to mention their unparalleled beauty.
The tree is full of white night-blooming cereus, each of which is the size of a palm, densely scattered among the green branches that droop like a waterfall. The pure white petals are fully opened, as light as feathers, layered and graceful.
So beautiful.
The photographer's tripod was set up there and he couldn't bear to look away.
He seemed to see the real beauty under the moon, so stunning, fascinating and fascinated that he wanted to keep taking pictures until the moment her 'beauty faded'.
Photographer Zeng Xu: "I hope you can tell your director that we are all photography enthusiasts and will never touch a single plant or tree here, I swear.
We just wanted to film the entire process of the ephemeral experience and cover some of the expenses.”
These people all come from relatively well-off families, otherwise these professional equipment alone would cost hundreds of thousands, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary families.
Faced with this situation, Hu Yuanfeng was at a loss as to how to deal with it, so he asked the director for instructions.
Ye Han arrived soon.
Today is the first day that tickets for [Epiphyllum Night Tour] are available, and she is always keeping an eye on the latest developments here.
The weather has started to turn cooler recently. Ye Han wore a light-colored sweater with black trousers, which made her look tall. As the night breeze blew, her delicate lines were faintly visible.
Her smooth long hair was tied up with a hairpin, and a few strands of hair falling from her temples were tucked behind her ears. Her beautiful face was clearly revealed under the light, and her skin was as white as jade.
The first time Zeng Xu saw her, he felt that the Epiphyllum and her temperament were instantly integrated, cool and elegant, like a beauty walking out of the moonlight.
He couldn't help but sway for a moment, and then was surprised that the director of Huajianji was so young.
After listening to Hu Yuanfeng's description of the situation here, Ye Han nodded slightly at them: "I roughly understand what you want. But I have to remind you that the small-leaf Epiphyllum introduced from the United States has different habits from the ordinary Epiphyllum... This is the largest Epiphyllum you are photographing now."
"It usually blooms until noon the next day, so you won't see the petals folding tonight. The other three plants can be seen around two or three in the morning."
"...So that's how it is." Zeng Xu really broadened his horizons this time.
Although he is a photographer, he has heard of the name of "ephemeral cereus" a long time ago and knows that the blooming period of epiphyllum is very short, only about 3-4 hours. However, he is not aware that different types of epiphyllum have different habits.
"Then we," he and a few friends looked at each other, "we still plan to take pictures. It will be worth it if we can take pictures of the other three."
"Okay." Ye Han glanced at the peacock epiphyllum shaking its leaves, his almond-shaped eyes curved, "Then you can shoot here, no charge, but you must indicate the source when publishing the video, and it's best to do some publicity."
"No problem." Zeng Xu agreed immediately.
He and his friends took photos of various scenery from all over the world, and their account has accumulated a lot of fans. They will promote any beautiful scenery.
Sharing itself is a happy thing.
Security is a rotating post. Tonight it is Hu Yuanfeng and another security guard's turn to be on duty. Just focus on this place.
What's more, the exhibition greenhouse is a product of Galaxy Technology, so Ye Han is not worried at all.
Some people stayed here specifically to take pictures, so that the Peacock Epiphyllum, which had been stealing the show tonight, could be happier.
The matter was resolved and Ye Han was about to leave when Zeng Xu stopped him.
Under the teasing gazes of other friends, Zeng Xu took a deep breath and cleared his throat: "Excuse me, can you please add your contact information? It will be convenient for us to notify you after we release the video."
Ye Han thought about it and there was nothing wrong with it.
There are too many messages and @ on the account now, so it’s easy to ignore them accidentally. Could you please add them?
Zeng Xu added Ye Han’s contact information and was overjoyed. He was extremely happy the whole night.
I also took more care when shooting.
The entry #花间集淡花一现# began to spread rapidly on the Internet.
Everyone who sees the "flash in the pan" can't help but want to share it. After all, who has actually seen such a rare scene?
It is absolutely unique in the circle of friends and on the social platform.
Ever since Liu Siyuan posted on WeChat Moments, there has been a constant stream of people asking questions.
She replied with the specific location below - Huajianji in W City. People kept asking her, and she was annoyed by the questions.
The videos shared by several photographers including Zeng Xu also allowed people who followed the account to feel the shock of hundreds of Epiphyllums blooming at the same time.
The official account of Hua Jian Ji claimed and reposted the video immediately, allowing more people to hear the name of Hua Jian Ji and learn that there is a private botanical garden in W City with "ephemeral" as its main attraction.
The only one in China.
So they bought tickets and prepared to go to see this rare scene with their own eyes.
On the third day of the opening of the exhibition greenhouse of Huajianji, the entry #Huajianji Epiphyllum Flower King has a total of more than 570 flowers in bloom# became a hot search.
This photo was taken by a night-blooming cereus enthusiast.
The video clearly records the shooting date and the number of blooming Epiphyllums.
On the evening of October 7, 347 flowers were in bloom;
On the evening of October 8, 121 flowers were in bloom;
105 flowers bloomed on the evening of October 9th.
A total of 573 flowers!
This number shocked everyone who saw the news.
More than 570 flowers, my God, the previous Epiphyllum planted by the old man only had 150 flowers, this is almost four times as many!
Some people who didn't believe it started counting, but they didn't expect it to be true.
The phrase "a flash in the pan" plus such a rare number directly made the entry explode in popularity and pushed it into the top five hot searches.
Especially when we saw that this small-leafed Epiphyllum could bloom from evening to the next morning, everyone couldn't help but be excited.
You can also go there during the day and see the night-blooming cereus in full bloom!
Following the last Double Lotus, Hua Jian Ji once again reached a peak in traffic.
