    Why the rush?  Zheng Tan could guess that the problem was with the pot of orchids, but Zheng Tan was not sure what the reason was.  What went wrong as the flowering approached?  Or some other accident?  Old Man Lan has always been very protective of flowers. Moreover, when Zheng Tan passed by that day, looking at the momentum, Old Man Lan would basically not allow other people or animals to get close to him. Zheng Tan was just the discoverer of orchids, so Old Man Lan was particularly merciful.  .  If it¡¯s not the fault of other people or things, is it the orchid¡¯s own problem?  Zheng Tan knew that although the orchid looked very similar to the ordinary iron-bone orchid, it was difficult to tell the difference just by looking at the leaves. Even people like Old Man Lan, who had been studying for decades, were confused when they first saw it.  I didn't see anything wrong, I just noticed the difference after careful study.  In order to find out the reason, Zheng Tan squatted in front of Old Lan's door on the third floor and guarded it. When Old Mrs. Zhai was not at home, the door of Old Lan's house was basically closed.  While Zheng Tan was waiting in front of the door, Er Mao looked at Zheng Tan inexplicably when he went out to throw out the garbage. He didn't understand what Zheng Tan was doing here, and Zheng Tan ignored him.  Finally, at around ten o'clock, Mrs. Zhai came back from outside. After opening the door, Zheng Tan followed her in.  When the old lady went into the kitchen to cook, she was not worried that Zheng Tan would cause damage in the house. In the past few years, Zheng Tan had never caused trouble here, so the old lady was relieved.  After bringing out a small plate of fish balls, Mrs. Zhai saw Zheng Tan going from room to room looking for someone. Knowing that he was looking for Mr. Lan, Mrs. Zhai smiled and said, "He went to the library, because the orchid hasn't bloomed recently."  People become anxious about things, but when it comes to flowers, they are so stubborn. " They never bloom?  Old man Lan said that it only takes three or two days for the flower to bloom. Zheng Tan also looked at it that day. The buds did look like they were about to bloom, but he didn't know why.  When I started driving, there was no follow-up response.  The old lady was nagging Zheng Tan while washing the vegetables. Listening to her words, it meant that Old Man Lan himself didn't know the reason why the flowers had not bloomed. He had checked a lot of information, but it was of no use at all. Now he has read the books at Old Lan's house.  After that, I went directly to the school library.  I probably won't come back for lunch if I can't find the answer. I lose track of time as soon as I sit there studying. The old lady has to deliver the food when it's ready.  You can't eat in the library, but there is a special rest area, as well as a rest area for employees. The old lady knows the people there.  Say hello. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The reason why the flowers are not blooming is that he doesn¡¯t know why, and the second is the flower show held in the city in October.  In the past three years, Old Man Lan has not continued to study other orchids. After basic care, he spent most of his other time on this strange orchid.  Only after raising it can Old Man Lan truly know how difficult this pot of orchid is to take care of.  Originally, Mr. Lan thought that it would take five or six years or even longer to bloom, but he didn't expect that it would bloom in the third year.  Old Man Lan¡¯s excitement when he saw the flower buds was incomprehensible to others. In the past three years, others have said that Professor Lan went crazy for a cheap pot of orchids, and they were laughing behind his back.  In the past, at the annual National Orchid Expo, Mr. Lan would bring out one or several pots of orchids. The pots were all of high quality, and the orchids in each pot were of high quality.  People will always quote high prices, and it is common to see hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many people in the orchid cultivation circle know the name of Old Man Lan. Because of this, everyone also knows that Old Man Lan has not participated in the project for three years just for a pot of cheap orchids.  Rambo meets.  Many people have told Mr. Lan that since he has many high-quality orchids on hand, why not take them out for everyone to enjoy.  Even if you have admired the orchid before, you can appreciate it again. Don¡¯t you know that the price of the orchid in your hand will increase once you admire it?  "It's a pity that Old Man Lan is stubborn.  His thoughts were spent on the orchid that Zheng Tan brought back. He just wanted to cultivate this pot of orchids and see what the differences were in its flowers. As for the other flowers, he didn't want to take the ones that had already won awards.  He doesn't have the habit of putting orchids on display again, and he hasn't raised any new varieties in recent years, so he simply didn't participate in the Lan Expo.  Old Man Lan actually doesn't care whether this pot of orchids is high-quality or not. He just wants to find out the difference between this pot of orchids and ordinary orchids. Once he gets into this alley, Old Man Lan won't come out. No one can persuade him.  Useless.  A few days ago, Mr. Lan also promised the organizer of the flower show that he would take out several pots of orchids in his hand to participate in the flower show. In addition to the several pots of award-winning orchids that Mr. Lan now has on hand, these pots of orchids are also in the flower show.  In his plan, he wanted more people to see this pot of orchid, which is suspected to be a natural variant.  But now, there are obviously flower buds, and they look like they will bloom soon, but they have not bloomed. Although it is still September, if they have not bloomed until October, the old man will miss the flower show orchid.  It feels like a pity.  Listening to Mrs. Zhai¡¯s nagging, Zheng sighedOn the other hand, I was thinking, is it not the time to bloom yet?  ¡°When Zheng Tan found it three years ago, it was already October, and it was still after the National Day holiday. Do we really have to wait a while longer for this flower?  Different orchids have different flowering periods. There are many varieties, and the flowering periods are also very different. Even Jianlan Suxin has different flowering times.  Old Man Lan walked back and forth between his home, the small flower garden, and the library at three o'clock every day. He took photos every day and made detailed records. He didn't find the answer, so he recorded it first and looked for the answer later. At the same time,  Old Man Lan also found some like-minded people in the school who had studied orchids to come over and help. Unfortunately, they had no solution and did not dare to try easily.  The only thing that makes Old Lan feel better is that those who have seen the orchid buds in the pot will praise it.  After all, the experts¡¯ perspective of appreciation is different from Zheng Tan¡¯s.  So, for the next period of time, every time Zheng Tan passed by the small flower garden and jumped on the wall to look inside, he would find that there were several old men watching the pot of orchids, and sometimes they would argue for a long time because of some opinions they raised.  .  They thought the same thing as Old Man Lan. They felt that this orchid was probably a natural mutation of iron bone and was worthy of study. However, the problem of not blooming now has its own reasons and explanations.  Some orchids take longer to bloom from bud to bloom, some may take one or two months or even half a year. However, the buds of this potted flower have grown like this, and anyone can see that they will bloom soon.  But he has been stuck here.  "In short, no matter what the reason is, as long as the flower buds are still healthy and normal, it is a good sign." An old man said.  They can't find a solution, but the orchids are still healthy now, but the buds just don't bloom. It's better than having symptoms, which would be really impossible. It's rare that everyone is looking forward to it this time.  Amid everyone¡¯s expectations, September passed by quietly.  The military training for freshmen is also over, and the weather is no longer as hot as before, with a hint of autumn. However, the weather in Chuhua City is always unpredictable, so you can wear a short-sleeved vest the day before.  You can wear a jacket on the second day. You can't tell, but many freshmen who don't adapt even catch a cold.  The changing weather did not cause ripples in the hearts of those old men. Old Lan was no longer as anxious as he was at the beginning. He felt that maybe this was God's will. As the flower show date progressed, the buds of this pot of orchids were growing.  It remains the same as it was a month ago.  Old Man Lan thought, maybe this flower has no connection with the flower show.  Over the past month, Mr. Lan has asked many friends in the industry to come over to help, but he is still at a loss.  However, because of this, orchid friends in the circle of orchid cultivation all know that Professor Dan Niulan in the circle has raised a very unusual pot of fertilium. The leaves of this flower look very similar to ordinary fertilium, but the buds are  Like jade.  It's probably not an ordinary flower, but the buds have remained the same for a month and they haven't bloomed yet.  No one is laughing now that Old Man Lan has dedicated three years of energy to serving this pot of orchids that are rumored to be quite cheap. Instead, he is looking forward to when they will bloom and everyone can see them.  On this day, when Zheng Tan went out and went downstairs, he found that the door of Old Man Lan's house on the third floor was ajar.  The old lady was cleaning inside, and Zheng Tan squeezed open the door and went in.  After seeing Zheng Tan, Mrs. Zhai had someone to nag to again, and she started nagging with Zheng Tan.  It¡¯s nothing more than an orchid thing.  Only this can make Old Lan stubborn and make the old lady talk about it.  "That pot of orchids has bloomed, and they are all squatting in the small flower garden, not even bothering to eat." The old lady said.  I feel helpless that Old Man Lan forgets to eat every time when it comes to orchids, but this time Old Man Lan is not the only one who forgets to eat.  When Zheng Tan came to the small flower garden and dug in, he found the place where the pot of orchids was placed. There, there were already seven old men with gray or silver hair squatting in front of the pot of orchids, as if in a daze.  As if living.  Are you playing the Seven Dwarfs?  Zheng sighed and slandered.  In addition to these seven old men, there was also a cat squatting next to them.  The police chief didn¡¯t know when he came, because there were seven old men here, and the wire door outside was not closed. The police chief who loved to nibble flowers came in when the seven old men were not paying attention, but the seven old men only cared about going up.  Looking at the flowers, I didn't even notice that there was a dangerous person squatting next to me.  What¡¯s even more strange is that the police chief, who has an inexplicable obsession with eating flowers, just squatted aside and watched without opening his mouth.  Seven old men and one cat were squatting there like this, and they didn¡¯t know how long they had been squatting. Zheng Tan¡¯s legs hurt when they saw them, and he was afraid that these elderly men would fall down because they had squatted for so long when they stood up.  While thinking about it, Zheng Tan walked over.  Zheng Tan knew from the smell that it was the same flower he saw in the mountains.  Five buds,They are all blooming now, just like the flowers in Zheng Tan's memory, with a feeling of jade. If you didn't know that they were real flowers, you would probably think that they were carved from jade.  Back then, Zheng Tan could look at the flowers and be dumbfounded, but now these seven old men and the police chief were probably also dumbfounded by the flowers.  Zheng Tan felt that although these flowers were very good, compared with the ones he saw in the mountains, there was still a slight gap. Zheng Tan's lack of immediate pause was the best proof. Of course, it was also possible that  It was Zheng Tan who became immune to this.  It¡¯s not a problem to stay like this all the time. Zheng Tan squatted next to him and looked at the seven people and one cat staring at the flowers. He yawned loudly and made a long sound of "Ah¡ª¡ª".  Someone finally came to his senses, and so did the police chief.  ¡°Hey, come on, it¡¯s the Sheriff!!¡± an old man shouted.  The old men didn¡¯t care to continue watching the show, and guarded the sergeant like a thief. They didn¡¯t relax until they drove the sergeant out.  The Sheriff is a nymphomaniac, and everyone knows it.  The old men stood up slowly and beat their legs. Fortunately, they did not fall down, but their legs hurt after squatting for a long time.  Looking at the time, everyone found that they had watched it for so long without knowing it.  Old man Lan also started chasing people away. He treasured this potted flower.  Three years are not in vain, three years are not in vain!  Old man Lan was so excited that his eyes were red.  "Lao Lan, do you want to sell these flowers? You give me a price and I'll buy them." An old man said.  "No, Lao Lan, you can keep the flower for yourself and appreciate it more. Don't be in a hurry to sell it." Another old man said.  "Yes, yes, it's better to save more time for yourself." Several other people also agreed.  They said this, but in their hearts they were thinking about talking to Old Man Lan in private.  Rare, real flowers are rare.  When they left, the old men turned around every step of the way, not wanting to take their eyes away from the pot of orchids.  "Hey, Lao Lan, this flower of yours should be a natural variation. I've never seen anything like it. Have you given it a name?" asked a person who was chased away by Old Lan.  Old man Lan paused in his movement to chase people away, said "hmm", and glanced at Zheng Tan when others were not paying attention.  Zheng Tan: "" This old man is really weird. Why do you want to see me after naming an orchid?
