What kinds of orchids are there? There are many rare and good orchids. The bluegrass sold by farmers in the market is dug from the mountains, and there are some good varieties. As long as you are good at identification, it is possible to select good orchid varieties.

How to choose, first of all, we should understand the flower structure of orchids: orchids have six flowers, which are divided into two rounds. The outer three are calyx, with plum petals, lotus petals, daffodil petals, butterfly petals and other variants. The middle one is called the main petal, and the two sides are called the side petals (commonly known as "shoulders"). The inner three are real petals, the upper two are called "holding the core" and the lower one is called "holding the core".

Then choose according to the following criteria:

Color: light green is the best, followed by thick green, and red and green are worse; Bright red is also better, and plain heart (all flowers in one color) is better.

Aroma: The best taste is elegant, mild and pure, and the worst smell is too strong.

Outer three petals: uniform and thick, soft and most expensive; Main petals are wide, lateral petals are narrow or petals are upturned.

Shoulder: the main leaf is the center, and the left and right leaves extend horizontally, which is called "flat shoulder" and is the top grade; The side flap is called "flying shoulder" and it is not bad to go up slightly; On the contrary, "falling shoulders" is the second.

Embracing (inner petal): It is best to have a smooth and soft skin like a silkworm moth. The petals of plum blossom and narcissus are hard and fleshy, commonly known as "pockets".

Tongue: short, round and wide is preferred. The spots on the tongue are scattered, and the crimson ones are the best; Light color but obvious color is also good; The dots on Chunlan's tongue are neat, with one point, two points, three points and ingot style as the top grade, while the messy and dark ones are inferior.

Nose: Smaller is better.

Leaves: the base is tight, the middle and upper parts are wide, and the upper parts are bent and drooping.

Roots: Round and thin ones are mostly fine varieties.

Bud: Chunlan bud is bright and shiny, with fine veins, straight from the stem to the top, and tightly wrapped in layers. Its petals may be pure green. Su Xin's bracts are mostly white and green, like tulle. Where the buds in the bud coat are obvious and shaped like soybeans, olives or peanuts, the petals must be short and round when they bloom, so please have more petals; White spots on the tip of bud coat are the main signs of plum petals and narcissus petals. The flower buds of butterfly petals are slender and round, but the buds inside are not obvious. The front end of the bud is round, bright and shiny, and such petals are rare.

Xia Lan can choose from the following three aspects:

(1) Bracts are tightly closed, bright and shiny;

(2) Bracts are thick and short;

(3) The top of the bract is rolled inward into a pocket.

But in the end, we have to wait until we see the flowers before we can really distinguish their advantages and disadvantages.
