The most precious lotus is green lotus?Wrong, there is another species

"The lotus leaves are infinitely blue, and the lotus lotus flowers are red." Every summer, Yang Wanli's "Xiao Jingci Temple Sending Forest Food" will accompany the lotus festival and lotus exhibition in all parts of the country, which will appear on us. The mind. In memory, the lotus in the park is either pink with different shades or milky white, and green lotus is very rare. Not long ago, the green lotus blooming on the hot search attracted a lot of attention from netizens. Many people lamented: This should be the most precious lotus!

At present, the greener lotus varieties of the petals are 'paving gold stacks'.

But this is not the case. The preciousness of the lotus is related to the color, but it is not absolute. So what is the most precious lotus? We have to start with its characteristics.

1. What is lotus

Lotus is a aquatic plant, also known as lotus, 菡萏, water hibiscus, etc. Some people are tangled with the difference between lotus and lotus. In fact, it is meaningless, because they are simply the same species, just different names. The one that is different from it is called Water Lily, which is attributed to the family of Water Lily. The biggest difference from the lotus is: water lilies are floating leaves (leaves float on the water), and lotus is a water plant (the leaves are up water surface).

The leaves floating on the water on the water.

There are only two species under the genus Lotus: Nelumbo Nucifera and Nelumbo Lutea. The former is also called Oriental Lotus academically, and the latter is also the yellow lotus of the Americas. Although the lotus in my country is not small in the size and flower shape of the plants, they all belong to Asian lotus. In addition, from the Far East of Russia, to East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the lotus in northern Australia, they all belong to the type of Asian lotus.

America lotus, when listening to the name, knows that it is produced in the Americas. Its biggest feature is that the flowers are pale yellow, and except for yellow, Asian lotus, there are all colors (not allowed to lift the bar and say black, blue lotus and the like). There is no reproductive isolation between the two, and the hybridization is easy to be strong.

Asian lotus and American lotus, in addition to yellow, there is also a characteristic that the outermost flower quilt is not easy to fall off, and there are few thorns or spines on the flower handle and petiole.

So as long as you see the yellow lotus, you can conclude that it is either a lotus lotus or a hybrid offspring for Asian lotus and Asian lotus. However, because some of the groups of America Lotus are not very adaptable in China or have a small amount of flowering, the native species of pure bloodlines appear precious.

Although there are only two types of lotus, there are more than 2,000 lotus varieties cultivated worldwide. It can be divided into three categories: lotus, Hualien and Zilian. Among them, the largest varieties cultivated in Asian lotus, and the variety of hybrid lotus in China and the United States, which is very scarcely originated in the Chinese lotus. However, according to the current development of breeding trends, the variety of Asian and American hybrid lotus will gradually dominate.

Because there are many varieties, classified scholars are also based on the source of the species (Asian lotus, Asian lotus, American lotus, Asian -American hybrid lotus), and regional sources (whether the underground ravioli festivals are expanded as temperate lotus or tropical lotus), flower type (according to petals according to petals (according to petals) How much and whether the male and female stamens are valve judged), color (monochrome, compound color, sprinkler, etc.), etc., divided them into 20 lotus varieties.

Among them, according to whether the petals and the pistils of the pistil are valve and the morphological classification of flowers, the lotus is divided into single petals, semi -induced petals, severe petals, heavy tables and thousands of petals.

Five types of flowers of lotus: 1. Single petals; 2. Half -petal; 3. Dental petals; 4. Heavy table; 5. Thousands of petals.

The number of petals of a single petal lotus is not fixed, because the number of petals in the wild lotus in different areas fluctuated to a certain existence, with a large range of 20 to 28 petals, and more than 30.

Half -heavy petals have 21 to 60 petals;

There are at least 40 petals of the petals, and some of the stamens are involved in the petalization;

Heavy table is a special type of heavy petal lotus. In addition to most of the stamens, the pistil's heart skin is also petal (or bubble), forming a structure similar to "flowers in the flowers", such as ‘Zhongshan Hongtai’;

Thousands of petals are extreme types of petal varieties. Not only are the pussy stamens all valve, but they often have multiple flowers. The number of flowers is particularly large. The petals usually have more than 1,000 or even thousands of petals. Thousand petals' and traditional 'Thousands Lotus'.

The heavy lottery ‘Zhongshan Hongtai’ found in Zhongshan City, Guangdong.

The petals can reach the "Supreme Thousands" with 1600 petals, but some people may not accept this beauty, especially the patient.

2. The most precious lotus

From the perspective of beauty, as a lotus of Lingbo Fairy, some people like single petals, some people like to be severe, some people like thousands of petals; some people like red, some people like green, some people like yellow, and some people like compound color. This is like a beautiful woman in the eyes of a man: Some people like small mouths with thin calves, and some people like to smile like a full moon like a big peony flower. Each flower enters the eyes. There is no reason to say. It is difficult to say which precious you say.

But from a business perspective, there is only one criterion for what lotus is the most expensive: things are rare.

According to Tian Daike, the person in charge of the Lotus Variety International Login and a researcher at Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, many new varieties of lotus can often reach 500 yuan or even 1,000 yuan when they first entered the market. It will gradually decline to dozens of yuan.

"There are three types of buyers with high -priced lotus flowers. One is the lotus enthusiasts. When you see the novel varieties, you want to win. The second is that the merchants who speculate in the speculation have a lot of reproduction after buying at high prices, and then quickly sold and earned. Third, special varieties are due to the needs of scientific research and science popularization. Even if the price is high, it may be purchased by relevant units. "He said that due to the strong fertility of lotus, the variety that everyone has Essence However, from the perspective of ornamental, adaptability, and application scope, many varieties with a price of 2030 yuan are still very excellent. It is only large enough for landscape engineering, so the price is so low. Regarding the purchase method, Tian Daike suggested that when ordinary lotus enthusiasts buy high -priced lotus, it is best to choose professional channels such as research institutions. There are many phenomena on Taobao with a lot of good charges, and even use lotus and Zilian to charge Hualien.

The new variety 'Jinfuwa', the current price is about 500 yuan.

The new variety ‘fiber jade index’, the current price is 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan.

The new variety 'rouge bowl', the current price is about 500 yuan.

The new variety ‘Jiuhua Haoyue’ has not yet entered the market. Its advantages include: early flowering, white and cute flowers, high strength, large lotus seeds, near the same lotus, good taste, both consumption and ornamental. Small and medium -sized, suitable for pot flowers.

The new variety 'Boai', the current price is more than 500 yuan per species.

Chen Yuchu, chairman of Hangzhou Aquatic Botanical Society, also said that many newly cultivated lotus varieties, because of unique flower types, special flowers, rare colors, or great flowers, have sold high prices. The breeding is very fast, and the price drops straight, "he said.

"For example," Guangyue Lou ", its flower type is strange, the petals are naturally falling, the pistil is fully bubble, and the stamens are fully petal. When it was just cultivated, a seedlings were priced at 5,000 yuan." It can also maintain 100 yuan per species.

‘Guangyue Lou’

There are also 'Supreme Thousands of petals'. Its pistils and stamens are all valve, and the petals in the fields or pools can reach 1600 petals. When it was just discovered, 5,000 yuan per species, more than 10 years later, can maintain 200 yuan per species.

‘Supreme Thousands of Places’

"Also, one of the earliest green lotus" Jinling Ningcui "mentioned in the earliest video mentioned in the previous video. At the time of launch, 1,800 yuan a seedlings, more than 10 years later, can maintain 100 yuan and one species." Chen Yuchuchu Say.

‘Jinling Ningcui’

In Chen Yuchu's opinion, in addition to the lotus above, there are many varieties that have been restless, but as the output increases, the price has gradually become close to the people, and it is easy to enter the home of ordinary people. for example:

‘Yufeng Huixiang’

‘Stunning’

‘Golden Monkey’

"Lingling Autumn"

‘Red lips’

‘Su Yi Zangcui’

‘Yuhua Love’

‘Magic Du Hongyun’ (Red Flower and Red Corporation, Hua Rui turned black the next day)

‘Red Flower Orange Storing’ (Orange Flower)

3. The development of lotus

Although there are thousands of lotus varieties selected in my country, and almost all of the lotus flowers above are beautiful, but in the park, wetlands, and water views in real life, the lotus we see is quite single, mostly pink or white.

According to Gao Bingyu, the person in charge of Beijing Huajing Gardening Co., Ltd., in various garden greening projects, not only many excellent new varieties have not been pushed to the market, but even the number of classic old varieties is very small. "In the design drawing of the greening project, there are only the word" lotus "when using lotus, let alone the variety, there is no requirement for color and flower type." He said that this is very unfavorable to promoting outstanding lotus varieties.

In fact, many classic lotus varieties are currently not high. Gao Bingyu told reporters: "For example, the traditional variety 'Thousands Lotus', the price is 30 yuan to 50 yuan; the lotus 'red platform lotus' mentioned in the Daming Lake mentioned in" Returning Pearls "is also like tens of yuan; from Japan’s compound color varieties 'dance concubine', leaves green, price of 20 yuan to 30 yuan. "In his opinion, the reason for this phenomenon is that the designer does not understand the lotus on the one hand, and on the other hand No output.

Many classic lotus varieties are currently not high

Regarding the development of new varieties, Ding Yuesheng, vice president of the Zhonghua Jiehe Branch and general manager of Nanjing Yilian Garden Flower Co., Ltd., said that applying for new varieties is of great significance to protect new varieties. "This can effectively control the theft and reduce the price of new varieties into the market," he said.

For the selection of new varieties, Ding Yue Sheng believes that in addition to the pursuit of ornamental, it should also work hard in terms of functionality. The first is to cultivate the varieties of both food appreciation. In addition to viewing, you can also eat lotus seeds and increase comprehensive value, such as' Sweet Ziz "and 'Crispy.'

Ding Yue Sheng's breeding of lotus and lotus varieties 'sweetness' and 'crispy jumps'.

The second is the variety of landscape flowers and cut flowers.

The third is a variety with strong anti -reverse resistance, such as salt tolerance, which can be used around the coastline.

The fourth is huge lotus flowers, which can be used in deep water and large lakes.

The fifth is micro -varieties, such as bowl lotus, which can enter the family market.

The sixth is the variety with a very long flowering period, with a pot of lotus viewing for more than 100 days.
