Chapter 117 Lingtong Xunlan
It was the next moment when Liu Junwei found this orchid, Nie Yun, Tian Zhen and Zhuang Yawen also walked out of the woods.
The valley orchid in front of you is really refreshing to look at.
In the previous mountain, there are relatively few trees on the mountain, which can't be called a forest. Now in the valley where Nie Yun and others are located, the grass is green and the orchids are enchanting. Next to the orchids, there seems to be a stream. The sound of running water comes from, and the sound of birds sing faintly from the woods behind. This scene It's really the fragrance of birds and flowers!
In Lijiang, Yunnan, the climate is like spring all year round.
With a good climate, there are many flowers and plants. At the same time, because of the snowy mountains, streams in the valley can also be seen everywhere.
It's normal to find such a fairyland in the valley here!
"It's almost noon. Let's rest here for a while and move on after lunch. Sister Zhuang, I guess that Bai village is not far away, right?
Nie Yun said and asked Zhuang Yawen.
"Hmm." Zhuang Yawen nodded.
"If you rest here for two hours and continue to walk in the afternoon, it is estimated that you can go to the Bai village without dark. In fact, if you drive from the nearest place to the Bai village, you can walk there in less than a day. It's just that the road over there is not very early, and there is no place to put the car, so we chose this road. Zhuang Yawen nodded and said.
To go to that Bai village, you should not only consider the reasons of the road, but also consider many other factors.
For example, if you drive there directly, you can indeed arrive relatively quickly, but the car is halfway, and the road ahead is not good. What should I do if the car can't drive in? There is no shop in front of the village and the back. Do you leave the car directly in the wild? And there are some mountain roads. It's okay for the locals to walk. Nie Yun and others are likely to be in danger because they are not used to the mountain roads.
Now although the road chosen by Nie Yun and others has been a little longer, it is the safest road, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yulong Snow Mountain along the way, which can be said to be the best way.
Several people have seen a lot of wild animals along the way, and they have also seen a lot of flowers such as orchids.
This time, I saw the beautiful scenery of the valley orchid... I stopped to rest on the edge of the forest. Several people put down the salute and couldn't help walking towards the orchid.
This orchid grows next to a stream, because the petals of the orchid are mainly green. In fact, compared with those red and purple orchids, they are a little less gorgeous, but even so, this scene is quite spectacular.
"This is Molan, which generally grows under forests, bushes or relatively damp valleys at an altitude of 800 to 2,300 kilometers. The valley here is relatively dark, and it is normal for Molan to grow. These Molans don't seem to have anything special..."
Bend down, Zhuang Yawen looked at these orchids and said.
Nie Yun couldn't help looking at these orchids.
Nie Yun's understanding of orchids is basically based on book knowledge, online materials and pictures. If Nie Yun is asked to judge what kind of orchid is from the leaves, it will be difficult for Nie Yun to do it. Unless you give Nie Yun a professional orchid book and let Nie Yun encounter a kind of orchid, they will compare the characteristics one by one.
However, if the orchid blooms, Nie Yun can judge one or two, especially for the more common orchids, Nie Yun can also judge more accurately.
Molan is a relatively common kind of orchid in China.
The flower of this kind of orchid is similar to that of tiger-headed orchid, that is, "green cicada". The petals are also green, but slightly lighter than tiger-headed orchid, which is light green. In addition, there are some longitudinal dark red markings on the middle vein of the petals, which is also an important difference between Molan and Hutoulan.
Then, it is the living environment of the two.
The tiger-headed orchid is generally epitylated and is located on a big tree. Occasionally, you can see the epithetated tiger-headed orchid on the rock wall.
And Molan, which is a native species, grows in relatively wet valleys, forests and bushes. In short, it is also a kind of shade-loving flower.
The flowering period of Molan, Nie Yun remembered that it was from September to March of the following year. Now it is January, which happens to be the time when Molan is in full bloom. It is normal to find some Molan in this valley.
Just looking at these Molans, Nie Yun lost interest. After all, although the flowers are pleasant, they are mainly the overall feeling. If Nie Yun stares at these Molan flowers one by one, Nie Yun will definitely not stand it. In fact, it is better to enjoy flowers similar to reading. I love reading and don't want to understand. I am also reading a book written by nature... However, to Nie Yun's surprise, at this moment, Zhuang Yawen's eyes have been carefully observing the orchids below and walking along the stream, but in a moment More than ten meters away.
"Sister Zhuang, what are you doing? Did you lose money or something?
Liu Junwei, who was beside him, was also a little strange when he saw Zhuang Yawen as if she were looking for something.
"I haven't been here before. How can I lose money and things here?" Zhuang Yawen was speechless for a while.
Straight up, Zhuang Yawen took a long breath, "Actually, I just want to see if there are any variants in this Molan. Among so many flowers, there will always be some special mutant varieties. If the mutation is good enough and the flowers are gorgeous, dig them out and take them back. It is normal for an orchid to be sold for hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions!"
"Oh? If you really want to find such a plant, it's really rich, and it's a windfall. Sister Zhuang, I'll help you find it!" Liu Junwei said and also looked for it in this orchid bush.
Hearing Zhuang Yawen's words, Nie Yun couldn't help looking at Mo Lan under her feet.
Some hot-fried orchids worth tens of millions are indeed hybrid variants.
However, Nie Yun knows that those hybrids can be sold at sky-high prices, which is obviously not so easy to find.
It is normal that there are several mutants in a piece of orchid, but these mutant varieties may not be valuable. Some variants have mutations on the roots and leaves, not on the flowers, so this mutation is naturally meaningless. There are also some mutations, although on the flowers, they are only small mutations of calyx and stamens, which are almost negligible.
Even if there is an obvious variation on the flower, it is not necessarily a favorable variation. Maybe it is still some harmful variation, such as the flower becomes particularly small and the color of the flower becomes more rustic. These are all possible... Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find a perfectly mutated orchid!
Zhuang Yawen is just lucky now.
This thing is like going to the antique market. Sometimes there is not necessarily a genuine product in the whole antique market. If there is a genuine product, you may not be able to discover it with your eyes. But even so, there are still countless antique lovers who like to go to the antique market and can't buy anything... "Forget it, it's not easy to find!" After bending over and looking for a while, Zhuang Yawen straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The orchid varieties here are too simple, and there are few mutant varieties. I guess I can't find any useful mutant varieties." Zhuang Yawen said, not bending over and looking carefully, but just walking around in the orchid bushes at will.
If there are many orchid varieties in a place, under mutual hybridization, the probability of good mutant varieties will naturally increase greatly.
This is like a big dog hybrid. Generally speaking, dogs of different breeds of big dogs are not good dogs. They will even give birth to stupid dogs that only inherit their parents' shortcomings, but do not inherit their parents' advantages at all.
However, if you are lucky enough, hybrid dogs can also have excellent surnames. Dog kings like charcoal balls are the descendants of the Caucasus and Tibetan mastiffs. If it is a simple Caucasian**, or a Tibetan mastiff**, it can give birth to a Caucasian and Tibetan mastiff with a stable surname and a good appearance, but I'm afraid that if you give birth thousands of times and tens of times, you can't have a dog king!
The same is true of flowers.
The orchid varieties here are single, and they are all Molan. Naturally, the probability of mutant varieties is not large.
"Sister Zhuang, I see a few orchids here, which are different from those over there. They are not mutant varieties, are they?"
As soon as Zhuang Yawen finished speaking, Liu Junwei, who bent down to find the mutant orchid, said.
"Huh? Are there different orchids over there? Zhuang Yawen was stunned and hurried to Liu Junwei's side. Nie Yun was also moved and walked over.
"It's a little different. The orchids here are yellow, especially the stamens, which are sprayed with a small layer of yellow paint on the ordinary Molan over there!" Liu Junwei said.
Liu Junwei said that Zhuang Yawen and Nie Yun also walked over and saw a few orchids in front of Liu Junwei. Zhuang Yawen couldn't help but be disappointed. "This is not a mutant variety. This should be Hanlan, which is a subgenus with Molan, called 'Jianlan Asia'. The growth environment is similar to that of Molan, but the flowering period is a little earlier. Between September and December, although it is already January, the Hanlan here may cross with Molan, and it is normal to bloom a little late.
In biology, the genera species of the family are descended in turn. The subgenus of Molan and Hanlan are already very close, and they are also the easiest to cross.
"Forget it, let's not look for it yet. Let's help Xiaozhen Suyi cook. Those rare mutant orchids are all products of the creation of heaven and earth, and they can't be forced!"
Zhuang Yawen said.
"Have you got the creation of heaven and earth?"
Hearing Zhuang Yawen's words, Liu Junwei did not respond, but Nie Yun's heart was moved.
Before, Nie Yun found that there was a rule in his spiritual wood pupil, that is, the aura contained in those plants created by heaven and earth is generally relatively high. In this case, can you reverse it? All plants with a relatively high level of aura are species created by heaven and earth?
Thinking to himself, Nie Yun subconsciously opened the state of Lingmu pupil, and glanced at it quickly in this orchid...
