Silk screen flower "Forget-me-not" made by Ye Yingchun
Forget-me-not information
Forget-me-not is a direct translation of the English name "Forget-me-not". The name of this flower is quite romantic, and the legend about it further confirms its status as the "love flower". According to legend, a knight in ancient Europe paid the price of his life to pick a bunch of flowers for his beloved girlfriend, and this flower is "Forget-me-not". Forget-me-not is a species of Boraginaceae, an annual or biennial herb with a stem height of 10 to 50 meters. Especially in the wild, it is very small and delicate, and the flowers are blue-purple. There are variants of white forget-me-not and red forget-me-not. Young men and women give each other forget-me-nots to express their deep affection.
In the current flower market, there is a flower called "Forget-me-not". It can last for a long time. The flower is membranous and has purple, lavender, rose pink, blue, red, white and yellow varieties. In fact, it is not Forget-me-not, but Limonium. Calling Limonium "Forget-me-not" is actually a misnomer. But the name "Forget-me-not" is indeed very touching. It is because people cherish this emotion that it is understandable to mistakenly call other flowers "Forget-me-not".

Silk screen flower "Alice" made by Liu Jincai
Alice Information Alice's real name is iris, which is named after its petals, which are shaped like a kite's tail. Its genus name, iris, means "rainbow" in Greek, which refers to the rich colors of the flower. Generally, flower dealers and flower arrangers call it "Alice" based on the transliteration of its genus name.
Alice is blue-purple in color, and its shape resembles a dancing butterfly. In May, when Alice flowers bloom, you can see blue butterflies flying among the green leaves, as if they are spreading the news of spring to faraway places. The French regard the iris as their national flower because according to legend, when Clovis, the first king of the French Kingdom, was baptized, God gave him a gift, which was the iris. In France, the iris is a symbol of light and freedom. Alice grew up in Japan, Siberia and almost the entire temperate world. In Greek mythology, Alice is the goddess of the rainbow. She is the messenger between the gods and the mortal world. Her main task is to bring the souls of good people back to heaven through the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth after their death. To this day, Greeks often plant this flower in cemeteries in the hope that the soul of the dead can be entrusted to Alice to take back to heaven. This is also the origin of the flower language "messenger of love". Iris represented "strength" and "eloquence" in ancient Egypt. Israelis generally believe that yellow irises are a symbol of "gold", so there is a custom of planting irises in cemeteries in the hope that they will bring wealth to the afterlife.
Alice Flower Language The colorful Alices represent different meanings: White irises represent innocence, yellow represents everlasting friendship and enthusiasm and cheerfulness, blue represents admiration for the other person's elegance and generosity or secret admiration, and purple represents love and auspiciousness.

Silk screen flower "Fusang" made by Liu Jincai
Fuso Information In the south, beside ponds, pavilions, roadsides and walls, you can often see brightly colored hibiscus flowers, which bloom in the morning and wither in the evening. Hibiscus is also known as hibiscus, or a flower that blooms in the morning and withers in the evening. Each flower blooms for only a short day.
Hibiscus is the national flower of Malaysia and Panama, and the state flower of Hawaii. However, the origin of hibiscus is in Taiwan, and it has a long history of cultivation. As early as the Han Dynasty, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" recorded that "there are hibiscus in Tanggu", and Ji Han's "Southern Plants" in the Jin Dynasty recorded that "its flowers are like hibiscus but the color is deep red, so it is called hibiscus", "deep red, with five petals", etc. There are many varieties of hibiscus, and they are colorful. According to the petals, they can be divided into single petals and double petals, and according to the color, they can be divided into pink, yellow, green, white, etc. Among them, the deep red double petals are slightly similar to peonies, but are not common, so they are named hibiscus peonies.
The brightly colored flowers and dark green leaves of the hibiscus make it look very bright and harmonious. What a strong and fierce flower it is! The open flower shape seems to be telling something. Although each hibiscus flower blooms for only one day, another bud will bloom after one bud withers. This vigorous energy keeps the hibiscus in its freshest state. The hibiscus, originally from Hawaii, has now become the representative of Hawaii. It is because it blooms for only one day that southern girls like to use it to decorate their long black and shiny hair. Under the shining golden sunlight, every southern girl with a hibiscus in her hair is looking forward to the early appearance of her lover!
Hibiscus Flower Language Immerse yourself in the romantic atmosphere of Hawaiian hibiscus flowers. Fresh love, delicate emotions, blue sea and sky, beautiful Hawaiian girls. The southern beauties always have a passionate hibiscus flower next to their ears, and the beautiful hibiscus flower language represents the unrestrained emotions in the heart, trust you, and ever-fresh love.

Silk screen flower "Lily of the Valley" by Liu Jincai

I think there will be tinkling sounds in the forest when the leaves fall. Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, The fragrance is so fragrant. …… This is a lyric describing lily of the valley. Lily of the valley is also called Junying grass, which is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Convallaria of the Liliaceae family. Lily of the valley likes a warm, cool, refreshing and humid environment, so it always grows in the valley under the forest in the wild. Hidden in the mountains, the flowers bloom fragrantly, which is similar to the character of orchids that hide in the mountains and do not lose their fragrance even when there is no one. In ancient times, lily of the valley was a representative of noble character. The phrase "A gentleman should be like an orchid" is both an encouragement and a praise.

Silk screen flower "Ocean Orchid - Cattleya" produced by Liu Jincai
Oceania Orchid Information Cowrie orchid is a general term for orchids distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, such as Cattleya, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilum, etc. They are both orchids, but they are divided into two groups: Chinese orchids and foreign orchids. Orchids are elegant and beautiful, with a faint and long-lasting fragrance; foreign orchids are graceful and beautiful. Compared with orchids, foreign orchids have peculiar shapes, bright colors, and large flowers, which have a sense of wealth, so they are called oceanic orchids.
Compared with Chinese orchids, the cultivation history of foreign orchids is very short. In 1737, Swedish botanist Linnaeus first created the plant classification system, initially dividing orchids into 8 genera and 21 species. In 1759, the Royal Botanic Gardens in London was established in the UK to conduct cultivation experiments on more than 100 types of foreign orchids. In 1838, foreign orchids entered the United States and were then tested in the Netherlands, attracting the attention of Southeast Asian countries. Singaporeans are particularly fond of "orchids" (i.e. tropical orchids), and many flower merchants are actively engaged in production and operation. Malaysia, Thailand and other countries have also encouraged the development of foreign orchids.
Nowadays, more and more Chinese people are fascinated by orchids and their brilliant and gorgeous flowers. Although orchid varieties such as cymbidium, phalaenopsis, and cattleya are expensive, their unique flower shapes and gorgeous flowers have attracted countless favors and have become the jewel in the crown of orchid lovers.

Silk screen flower "Dropping Orchid" by Liu Jincai
Information about the orchid Chuiliao is a type of hyacinth, with slender and flowing leaves and jade-like flowers, giving off a pure and clean feeling. There are many varieties of Chuiliao, with hundreds of species, each with its own shape and posture. Take the flowers for example, each pot of Chuiliao has more than ten flower spikes full of buds, and dozens of colorful green buds fall vertically like a waterfall, which is very gorgeous and beautiful. I like the beauty of the one that bows its head like a graceful girl, shyly telling her thoughts...
Weeping orchids originated in Japan, New Zealand and the United States, and are very popular among local consumers. They are sold at a high price. Four years ago, they were introduced from Japan and immediately became the new star and favorite in the New Year flower market, and a good gift. It is reported that the price of Japanese weeping orchids is relatively high because the shaping time is as long as half a year, and the packaging and shipping costs are high. The general container can hold 2,000 pots of flowers, while the precious Japanese weeping orchid can only hold 245 pots, so the price is 3 to 5 times higher than that of ordinary imported flowers. Despite the high price, they are often sold out.
Weeping orchids are bred by hybridizing the native species of weeping orchids with the upright cymbidium orchids. Diwang orchids, multiflora orchids, and wetland orchids are the commonly used parents of weeping orchids currently cultivated. There are abundant native species of drooping flowers in the genus Orchidaceae, such as multi-flowered orchids, petaled orchids, winter orchids, hard-leaved orchids, and red-column orchids. Except for winter orchids that bloom in winter, most of these native species bloom in spring and summer, but the flowers are small, the flower shape is poor, the flowering period is short, and the direct commercial value is not high. By hybridizing with large-flowered varieties that have been improved through multiple generations of hybridization, combining the characteristics of large-flowered varieties such as tolerance to blooming, beautiful flower shape, and large flowers with the drooping flowers, strong disease resistance, easy planting, flowering, or fragrance of the drooping flower original species, new varieties with great market prospects will be bred. Therefore, there should be great achievements in the breeding of drooping flower cymbidiums.

Silk screen flower "Meconopsis" made by Liu Jincai
Meconopsis information In northwest Yunnan, which is known as the "natural garden", on the high mountains and in the snow-capped valleys, when the temperature rises and the snow begins to melt, the rain and dew nourish the snow grass, which is full of vitality. In the green and lush grass, all kinds of flowers bloom. Among these colorful sisters of flowers, the light and charming Meconopsis, dancing gracefully, is particularly eye-catching. When it comes to Meconopsis, many people are naturally unfamiliar with it, because it lives in the valleys of high mountains and cannot be found in ordinary plains or hills, and even in town gardens. However, anyone who sees its beauty will be fascinated by it. There are 49 species of Meconopsis in the world, mainly produced in central and southern Asia, with Meconopsis being the most abundant, accounting for 38 species; distributed in Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei and other provinces. There are 17 species in Yunnan, concentrated in snow-capped mountain meadows, alpine shrubs and gravel beaches above 3,000 meters above sea level in northwestern Yunnan. A few species extend to the subalpine zones in central and northeastern Yunnan.
Meconopsis is an annual or perennial herb, with a plant height ranging from 2-3 inches to 3-5 feet. Different species have different flower shapes and postures: some have scapes that emerge from the rosette-shaped leaves at the base, with several scapes in a cluster and each scape standing alone; some have flowers on stems, with several flowers on a stem, forming a racemose panicle. Most of the petals are four, but there are also double petals with up to ten petals. The leaves are oblong, broadly ovate, or have long handles like spoons, or split into lyre shapes, etc. Many species have soft and long hairs on their bodies, which gave them the elegant name of "Meconopsis". At first glance, the beautiful Meconopsis seems to leave people with an impression of being extremely delicate and fragile. In fact, it is a strong fighter with a strong character and is not afraid of severe cold and wind. Anyone who has been to the snow-capped mountains knows the climate characteristics of high-altitude areas: cold frost, strong radiation, strong winds and thin soil, large temperature differences between day and night, and great climate changes. Even in the warm summer when the snow melts, there are sometimes clear skies and sometimes sudden rains and hail. Generally, trees cannot grow well, and herbaceous plants and small shrubs often form mats and crawl on the ground. However, Meconopsis can grow tenaciously in such a harsh environment. In order to adapt to the severe climate, they are covered with plush, as if wearing a sweater to keep warm; the roots also become thick and tough, and their length is often several times longer than the height of the plant, so that they can penetrate the cracks in the rocks to root deeper and accumulate more nutrients. What is even more amazing is that in the barren and rocky beach at an altitude of 5,000 meters, it can stand tall and bloom gorgeous flowers. Yes, it has a beautiful appearance, but its character is strong. It is both strong and gentle, and has excellent character. This is the true nature of Meconopsis. It is a pity that such outstanding and rare flowers as Meconopsis, Primula, Gentiana, and Rhododendron have long been buried in the mountains. In recent years, the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has begun to systematically investigate these precious alpine flowers; the Lushan Botanical Garden, surrounded by clouds and beautiful scenery, has also begun to introduce and domesticate these famous flowers. May the alpine flowers of Yunnan multiply and flourish on the vast land!
