"I came from the mountains with orchid grass.
Planted on campus, I hope the flowers bloom early."
The braiding of orchids and orchids has been confused since ancient times.
Orchids and orchids are actually two different plants. Both are herbaceous plants, and in modern botany, orchids belong to the Asteraceae family, while orchids are orchids. Since the Han Dynasty, orchids have been artificially cultivated.
There is a sentence in the Chu ci that reads, "Qiulan thinks it is Pei". It means to find orchids to wear as decorations. "Leaving the Troubles" says that this kind of orchid green leaf purple stems and branches, can be embellished, can be admired, can be borrowed, can be anointed, can be bathed...
People mistakenly think it's an orchid, but it's not. This wearable orchid belongs to the Asteraceae family, which the ancients called vanilla.
Zhu Zi explained in the "Dialectic of Departure": "The ancient herb will be fragrant with flowers and leaves, and the dryness and wetness will not change, so it can be admired." Now the orchid is fragrant but the leaves are breathless, weak and easy to wilt, and cannot be worn...
Friends who have planted orchids know that the leaves of the orchid have no fragrance, but its flowers are fragrant.
Vanilla is actually a spice that is fragrant all over the body, including leaves, stems, and flowers. It is often used to boil lamb.
People have loved orchids since ancient times, and there are many varieties cultivated. The famous ones are Hanglan and Oulan, as well as Yilan produced in Sichuan, Fenglan produced in Wenzhou and Taizhou, Zhulan produced in Guangdong, and so on. There is a kind of Jianlan in Fujian, which grows on ancient trees in the old forests in the deep mountains, and orchid pickers train monkeys to pick trees.
The Orchids are well documented in the Qunfang Genealogy. Wen Yun: Lan Youxiang is far away, rich and lush, and does not rest. Often opened in early spring, although after the ice and snow, the height and depth are free, so Jiangnan takes the orchid as the ancestor of incense. It is also called the first incense. Purple stemmed blue flowers are the top, green stems and blue flowers are secondary, purple stems and purple flowers are second, and the rest are not in the product...
Orchids rank fourth among the top ten famous flowers in China, and the second of the "four gentlemen" of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yue Wang Gou Jian had planted orchids in the mountains of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. The history of orchid cultivation has been 2,000 years. People use "Lan Zhang" to refer to the beauty of poetry, and "Lan Jiao" to symbolize the truth of friendship.
The orchids in the study bloomed, and the orchid fragrance filled the room. Friends come to play, sit for a long time but do not smell it. Ask him if he has a cold? No. Just upset. Soak a pot of six melon slices and tell him to calm down. In less than a cup of tea, he felt that his body was wrapped in Lan Xiang.
People and orchids are expensive in having feelings, and if you want to have feelings, you must have a way. Lansheng Valley, no one self-incense. The orchids are high and do not eat human fireworks. Therefore, yanglan can not apply any human and animal fertilizer. Every time an orchid sprouts a new sprout, put the pot a little higher. When watering, do not splash large water on the head, use a watering can to spray slowly, and keep the leaf surface clean from time to time. It is best to use humus soil in the mountains for planting soil, and rotting wood is better.
To appreciate the flowers, we must use a normal mind, not to be entangled in ordinary things, and to have no distractions in our minds. Even if there is a slight breeze, you can smell the orchid. You can go out for a walk around the room for a long time. When you re-enter the room, the full room is more fragrant. Orchids should not be incense when they bloom.
Although the orchids are elegant and fragrant, the flowers are not gorgeous. It is not like peony and peony medicine, and the people who love it are not popular, so why bother?
When saying goodbye, the friend took away a blue incense.
