The complete process of Song Mei orchid from bud to bloom
Introduction: In his book "300 Questions on Chinese Orchid Art", Mr. Ding Yongkang's assessment of Song Mei is: for over 200 years, no single variety in plum-petal orchid art has surpassed her, and these words are truly not false. She has a rich, delicate fragrance and peerless elegance, embodying the essence of Chinese orchid culture and carrying people's pursuit of completeness, purity, and ideals; she is precisely the representative of the orchid as a symbol of character. Song Mei is classic at any time.
My Song Mei has bloomed, with flowers of emerald green delicate beauty and rounded, glossy petals. Based on Mr. Ding's description in the book of the five blooming forms of Song Mei, I feel this blooming form should be the classic form of the plum-type narcissus. Mr. Ding's description in the book of the plum-type narcissus blooming form of Song Mei is: strong seedlings and large plants bloom as plum-type narcissus. The three outer petals are oblong, with soft silkworm-moth-held center. The spreading Ruyi white tongue, the front of the tongue petal is pure white, and there is a red dot at the base of the tongue.
1. The flower bud about to bloom
2. The flower bud stands straight up, swelling like a small fist
3. The extremely beautiful turning process
4. The moment of seeming to separate yet still together
5. First opening, the outer petals have not yet opened symmetrically
6. After a period of self-adjustment, it presents itself in gorgeous perfection
