Chapter 27 Buying Chrysanthemums

Picking up items in the antique market depends on your ability and luck. In addition, in recent years, good items have been almost exhausted and counterfeiters are very skilled, so they can often fake the real ones. It is already very easy to find a good item in the antique market.

It’s difficult. If you find it, it’s mostly luck.

But picking up the missing pieces in the flower and bonsai market all depends on your eyesight and imagination. I often hear about people who were blinded by antiques, but I have never heard of anyone who was blinded by bonsais. Because the antiques have historical value in them, what is being sold is a

Once the year and origin are faked, all these value factors will disappear, and there will be no collection value, and it will no longer be valuable. But flowers and bonsais are different. For this kind of plant collection, you only need to buy the appearance and meaning.

Of course, there are some special reasons that will bring historical value to a very few individual plants, or some precious trees that are very old. Even if they have no appearance or shape, thousands of years of time and history will make them famous and precious.

Generally speaking, as long as the variety is good and the appearance is unique, you can get a good price.

The possibility of fraud is very small. The main reason is that the varieties of plants cannot be changed and are easy to identify, unlike the texture of gold, stone, jade and jade, which is difficult to identify. Another thing is that if you make a fuss about the appearance, it will only increase the ornamental value without bringing any consequences.

Other negative effects.

Just like an old pile, it may have different configurations in the eyes of different people, and it can be cultivated and modified into an impossible state. If it is just a plopped shape in most eyes, few people are optimistic about it, but some people can according to its current situation.

Changsheng ingeniously conceived a unique and magnificent shape with profound meaning, bought it at a low price, cultivated it for a period of time, modified it, and then sold it at a high price. It was regarded as a miss.

Of course, not any modified old pile will appreciate in value. A naturally formed old pile is definitely much more valuable than one that has been artificially carved. Appropriate artificial modifications can enhance the ornamental value and increase the value randomly, but a naturally formed old pile without any carving can increase the value randomly.

Plants that can embody a unique meaning are more worthy of being collected or placed in a conspicuous place. Therefore, it is better to make as few manual modifications as possible, try to maintain their original ecology, and erase traces of artificial carvings.

Along the way Zhang Taiping walked, there were many people trading at the stalls, most of which were small bonsais that were not too expensive to buy and put at home or in the room to improve the environment.

In particular, flower bonsais are the most popular. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also not expensive. A pot only costs about a hundred yuan, and some even cost more than ten yuan. Such flowers are most loved by women who live at home.

The sellers at the stalls generally rely on this to support their families. It is easy to make a fortune, but it is not easy. Generally, the rarer and more precious the plants, the higher the environmental requirements. Since there is no special room to cultivate those precious and rare flower plants,

You can only follow the season and buy some varieties that are not high in price but are in high demand and best-selling.

It is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so there are also the most chrysanthemums on the stalls outside the store.

If you didn’t come to the flower market, you would never know that there are so many varieties of chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemum is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. It has been cultivated in China for more than 3,000 years. It is also one of the "Four Gentlemen" and is very popular among Chinese people. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been an annual chrysanthemum event among the people. Until now, the country has

Currently there are more than 3,000 chrysanthemum varieties in China.

Most people only know that chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, but they don’t know that chrysanthemums also have four seasons. However, the reputation of autumn chrysanthemums is not as great as the two, so when people mention chrysanthemums, they will think of chrysanthemums as autumn chrysanthemums.

The ninth month of the lunar calendar is known as the "Chrysanthemum Moon". During the Chrysanthemum Moon, chrysanthemums in Kaifeng cover the streets and alleys. People wander in the sea of ​​flowers and enjoy the fragrance of chrysanthemums. It is particularly interesting to enjoy chrysanthemums before the severe winter.

Interestingly, as the poet Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty said, "It's not that chrysanthemums are preferred among flowers, but that there will be no flowers after all the flowers are in bloom."

People appreciate chrysanthemums not only because of their delicate beauty and overflowing fragrance, not only because of their natural beauty and dignified charm, but more importantly because of their admirable character. Autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom and have many names.

, the wonderful shape of the flowers is amazing.

When we appreciate the traditional Chinese chrysanthemum, we mainly appreciate the whole plant.

For example, at first glance, you can see whether its height is appropriate, and it feels comfortable to see it. From the base to the upper part, the leaves are basically growing evenly. The leaves grow very stretched, without wrinkles, and the leaf color is normal green.

Of course, the most appreciated thing is its flower shape. The flower shape has the best period of appreciation from the time when the buds open to after it has finished blooming. Generally speaking, a flower can bloom for more than 20 days. At the peak of flowering,

That is to say, the outer petals have been shaken away, and the petals in the middle are still gathering inward. This is the best time to appreciate it. It doesn’t look good when it’s not in bloom, and it doesn’t look good when it’s in bloom. It’s the best time to appreciate it.

I hope everyone can catch it. In addition, it is the petal shape. The flower shape of the chrysanthemum is the most important aspect to appreciate. Of course, the flower color is also very important.

Zhang Taiping walked around for a week. There are many varieties of chrysanthemums, and many people appreciate them, but most of them are not expensive, only a few dozen yuan per pot. Large chrysanthemums often have only one flower on each plant, and the flowers on the medium and small chrysanthemums

There are many, especially small chrysanthemums. The flowers are less than six centimeters. They are famous for their large number of flowers. When they bloom, they look like stars in the sky.

Zhang Taiping finally stopped in front of a stall full of chrysanthemums and wanted to buy a few pots of chrysanthemums. He didn't buy chrysanthemums to admire them, but the prices of chrysanthemums varied, and the difference between good and bad ones was huge. Ordinary ones were cheaper.

, a pot costs tens of dollars. If it is watered with space spring water, the quality will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the price will have a lot of room for appreciation.

The flower stall owner saw Zhang Taiping coming and greeted him quickly.

"Brother, what kind of chrysanthemum do you want? We have big chrysanthemum, medium chrysanthemum and small chrysanthemum here?"

Most of them are medium chrysanthemums and small chrysanthemums. Those with a flower diameter between 6-18 cm are called medium chrysanthemums; those with a flower diameter below 6 cm are called small chrysanthemums. There are also large chrysanthemums, but not many, and the flower diameter is more than 18 cm.

Zhang Taiping looked at the colorful stalls, including white chrysanthemum, yellow chrysanthemum, red chrysanthemum, orange chrysanthemum, green chrysanthemum, black chrysanthemum, purple chrysanthemum, green chrysanthemum, also known as green lotus, and black chrysanthemum, which is a type of purple-black chrysanthemum.

.

I thought to myself that Xiaoju is the most common and the cheapest, but if cultivated well, it also has the most room for growth.

I remember that at the "99 World Horticultural Exposition", a chrysanthemum in Kaifeng was called "Dali Chrysanthemum". It was made by marrying an Artemisia annua. Either many trees were planted together, or it was just one plant. This

Chrysanthemums were grafted, then headed, branched, and shaped. This chrysanthemum now reaches 5.5 meters and has 3,080 flowers. This is the first time in Kaifeng that it has reached such a large size, and the first time in the country. Henan Province

When I participated in the World Horticultural Exposition, I brought a tree that was also cultivated in Kaifeng and reached 4.65 meters. It won a grand prize at that time, and it was also the only grand prize. The tree exhibited in Kaifeng this time reached 5.5 meters, which is more than

That one is nearly one meter larger. This size can be said to be the largest in the country, or the largest in the world.

So Zhang Taiping planned to buy two pots of small chrysanthemums and one pot each of medium and large chrysanthemums.

"Here are two small chrysanthemums and a pot of medium and large chrysanthemums."

"Brother, see for yourself, the basin you like is that basin."

"Let's start with the boss introducing a few types."

"I don't know, what kind of one do you want?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "It is suitable to take it out and enjoy it with friends, or to cultivate a variety that can be used for a flower party or something for a while."

"Well, then I suggest you, brother, take "Big White Lotus" for the big chrysanthemum, "Purple Chrysanthemum" for the medium chrysanthemum, and "Taichung" for the small chrysanthemum."

He looked at Zhang Taiping, pointed at the selected pots of chrysanthemums and said.

"The flower shape of the big white lotus is a rosette shape, with a diameter of up to 20 centimeters when fully open. In addition, the color is plain white, pure and elegant, just like a blooming lotus; as for the purple chrysanthemum, the flower shape is a hanging silk type, with thin petals.

It is long and strong, soft and tough, spreading out from the center. The petals growing on the lower plate are vertical downwards, lifting the upper petals, while the petals in the center are close together and squeezed together, like an intimate flower.

Brothers and sisters. There are one or two protruding small tips on their tops, which look very much like ancient spears. Coupled with the purple-red color, they look like fireworks bursting into the sky, like a series of sparks splashed from a fire disk.

"As for the chrysanthemum, when it is in full bloom, the fiery red flowers stand all over the branches. You see, from a distance now it looks like a large bush of roses tightly bunched together, and the branches can still be seen."

The few plants selected by the boss are all precious ornamental flowers cultivated through long-term artificial selection, also known as art chrysanthemums.

Zhang Taiping also liked these flowers very much when he saw them. He thought that the boss did not introduce them randomly and basically met his needs. After returning, the quality will be improved even more through the cultivation of space spring water, and even the best quality will appear.

Maybe. So I made up my mind and asked.

"Just these few plants, how much does it cost in total?"

"One hundred and fifty for 'Big White Lotus', two hundred for 'Purple Chrysanthemum', and one hundred and eighty for each small Chrysanthemum 'Hongtai'. The total is seven hundred and ten. Let's round up to seven hundred. What do you think, brother?"

?”

Zhang Taiping calculated it secretly and found that it was true. The flowers were much better than those at other stalls, and the price was quite reliable. The price was not too high, and it was similar to the price he saw on the way here.

After paying, I couldn't put the flowers into the space here, so I had to call two vans to take the flowers to a secluded place.

After waiting for the car to leave, I looked around and saw no one around, and then quickly put the chrysanthemums into the space. Then it was not easy to go to the original flower and tree market, so I simply changed to a larger market.
