The blooming lotus flowers are noble and elegant
From ancient times to the present, many literati and inkers are very fond of lotus flowers
So where is the charm of the lotus flower?
The part where the lotus flowers bloom is the main object of its viewing. Hualien is also known as ornamental lotus, and its main ornamental features are:
Flower type: five flower types: single petal, semi-heavy petal, heavy petal, heavy table and thousand petal.
Flower state: butterfly, cup shape, bowl shape, stacked ball shape, flying shape and other five major flower states.
Flower color: white, pink, fuchsia, light yellow, variegated, sprinkled brocade, greenish yellow, orange yellow and other variety of colors, and even the same kind of flowers.
The shape and color of the buds: there are long and pointed round, there are round and rolling shapes, there are red, white, pink, green, sprinkled brocade, etc., and the diversity of bud shapes is also one of the important characteristics of identifying varieties.
When the ornamental traits are implemented to the specific parts of the lotus flower, they also include the shape of the flower cover, the color of the stamens anthers and appendages, the flower tray, etc., which are more professional and meticulous ornamentation. It is precisely because of their various styles of flower patterns that they meet the ornamental needs of lotus lovers and are loved by everyone.
In addition to flower viewing, the next step is to enjoy the leaves. Lotus leaves are divided into three types: money leaves, floating leaves and standing leaves:
The coin leaf is actually also a type of floating leaf (soft petiole and floating on the surface of the water), but it is named because the leaves that grow in the early after seed sowing or early after the planting of the lotus root are small and resemble copper coins.
Standing leaves are leaves in which the petiole becomes stiff and stiffens, lifting the leaves out of the water and growing upright. The lotus leaf has just emerged from the water to the front of the water before it is unfolded, there is a name called "fist roll leaf", at this time the leaf is like a clenched fist, "little lotus only reveals the gradual sharp corner" refers to the fist roll leaf. The leaves are generally dark green, green and spotted, and some leaves have purple-red on the back or young leaves in early spring. The attitude of the blades is funnel-shaped, flattened or sagging around the central micro-concave, and the surface has smooth, rough and intermediate transition types. Leaf veins and their grain lines also have certain aesthetic and artistic value.
Because the surface of the lotus leaf has a special hydrophobic structure, it is not wet when it encounters water, so it can "come out of the mud without staining", which is also known as the self-cleaning effect of the lotus leaf.
In addition, lotus seeds also have a high ornamental value, they are often used as necklaces, bracelets, micro-carving crafts and other ornaments. Lotus poncho also has aesthetic value, and is often used as an interior decoration after picking and drying. The old and dry leaves of autumn and winter, together with the lotus canopy and its reflection, together with the water body, form a unique natural residual lotus landscape, which has a unique taste and often becomes an important painting and photographic subject for artists.
