There are many rare and excellent orchids. Those bluegrass sold by farmers in the market are all dug from the mountains, and there are also some good varieties. As long as they are good at identifying, it is possible to choose good orchid varieties.

how to choose, first of all, we must understand the flower structure of orchids: there are 6 flowers in the orchid, which are divided into two rounds, the outer three are calyx, with plum petals, lotus petals, narcissus petals, butterfly petals and other variants, the middle one is called the main petal, the two sides are called the side petals (commonly known as "shoulders"), the inner three are real petals, the upper two are called "holding the core", and the lower two are called "holding the core".

Then select according to the following criteria:

Color: light green is the best, followed by dark green, followed by red green; Bright red is also better, and plain heart (all flowers and one color) is better.

fragrance: elegance, gentleness and pure taste are the best, and those with too strong odor are the worst.

outer three petals: the one that is even and thick and has a soft feeling is the most expensive; The main petals are wide, the side petals are narrow or the petals are upturned.

shoulder: centered on the main lobe, the left and right lobes extend horizontally, which is called "flat shoulder" and is the top grade; It is also good that the lateral flap is called "flying shoulder" slightly upwards; On the contrary, "falling shoulders" is the second.

pistil (inner petal): the one with smooth and soft skin like silkworm moth is the best, while the pistil of plum petal and narcissus petal is hard and fleshy, commonly known as "pocket".

tongue: short, round and wide is better. The spots on the tongue are scattered, and the crimson ones are the best; Light but obvious color is also good; The dots on Chunlan's tongue are neat, with one point, two points, three points and ingot style as the top grade, while those with messy and dark colors are inferior.

nose: small is better.

leaves: the base is tight, the middle and upper parts are wide, and the upper part is bent and drooping.

roots: round and thin are mostly fine varieties.

bud: the bud of Chunlan is bright and shiny, with fine veins, and it goes straight from the stem to the top, and it is tightly wrapped in layers. Its petals may be pure green. Su Xin's bracts are mostly white and green, like gauze. Where the bud in the bud coat is obvious and its shape is like soybean, olive or peanut, its petals must be short and round when flowering, so please have more petals; Those with white spots at the tip of the bud coat are the main signs of plum petals and narcissus petals. The flower buds of butterfly petals are slender and round in shape, but the buds inside are not obvious. The front end of the flower bud is round, bright and shiny, and such petals are rare.

Xia Lan can be selected from the following three aspects:

(1) The bracts are tightly enclosed, colorful and shiny;

(2) The bract is thick and short;

(3) The tip of the bract is rolled inward to form a pocket.

but in the end, we have to wait until we see the flowers before we can really identify their advantages and disadvantages.
