In the eyes of many people, Ph.D. in biology, all the way to biology, must be very familiar with biology, right? Actually, I really don't know so many animals and plants, when I was an undergraduate, I studied bioengineering, but my college was in chemical engineering, so in fact, I spent most of my time studying chemistry, and my undergraduate degree was different from many biology students, it was engineering. When I was doing my Ph.D., I did have a Ph.D. in biology, but I studied genetics, and bioinformatics in genetics.
However, because I like animals and plants, I will often observe and record. For example, I like bird watching, collecting plant specimens, etc...
Today, I will talk to you about how to make which flowers freeze in beautiful moments as a plant lover?
01, real flowers and fake flowers?
There is a very interesting flower in my house, and the first thing you see is whether it is a real flower or a fake flower?
As shown in the picture, this is not a fake flower, but an authentic real flower.
It looks lifelike, right, and it is no problem to leave it for a long time, and it is said that this measure is achieved by vacuum rapid drying, so the shape of the flower can be preserved to the greatest extent.
After buying this flower at that time, my flesh hurt for a long time, after all, I think flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, but it is not cost-effective to be so expensive. So I thought about getting a flower myself, but it failed.
02, good flowers do not bloom often
Good flowers do not bloom often, good times do not always exist, after personal summary, I think that if there is no special equipment, then, many flowers can not be made into this special preservation form.
Because the water content of most flowers is too high, the process of slow water loss will cause the flowers to wilt, and the morphological support of many flowers is very dependent on water, and once the water is lost, it will completely change.
In addition, many flowers are actually metabolizing all the time, even if they are removed from the flower branches, such as anthocyanins, which will react over time, and if we observe them in the field or outdoors, we can see that the color of the flowers is changing until they fall off.
03, how to freeze the most beautiful moment of flowers?
Therefore, in order to solidify the most beautiful moment of the flower, several conditions must be met:
1. The support of the flower should be good, otherwise it will easily wilt during the process of water loss and eventually lose the appearance of the flower
2. The color composition should not be too complicated, otherwise it is easy to continue to cause the color to disappear or change the color, especially the color such as chemical reaction and biological reaction.
In the end, I found a special kind of flower, this flower itself belongs to a very special type, the conical umbrella inflorescence is apical, evacuated, the flowers are small and many, so the water content is actually very small, the support of the flower itself is not particularly dependent on water, and there will not be much problem with water loss, and the color itself is relatively natural and will not change drastically.
So I went to the Dounan flower market to buy a bouquet of flowers back, put it indoors, do not get direct sunlight, plus Kunming itself is very dry, so it can be dried naturally, and now it seems that this flower is really good. But now I rarely keep flowering plants, because it's too much trouble, and it's better to be purely leafy.
