Big Summer Lotus!After 95, the Guangdong guy "played" water lilies breeding became a world champion

Water lily, also known as water lily, flowers and leaves float on the water surface, different from the shape of the lotus flowers. Lotus is lotus, water lilies or water lilies. In the biological classification, the two are different, so it is easy to be confused by people.

When the hottest heat in the heat, the solar terms of the earth moisturizing the heat alternated alternately. We might as well use the flowers as a cricket, soak a glass of water lily tea, the entrance is clean and sweet, the tea fragrance is refreshing, it can clear the heat and detoxify, antioxidant, and drive away the summer heat.

(After the 95th, young people can still become a champion by relying on "Lian", with a total of 4 minutes and 28 seconds)

What kind of experience is life filled with flowers?

One flower and duckweed, one dream and one lotus. After the 95th young, Li Zijun, at the age of 27, he has raised lotus for 17 years. In accordance with the laws of the dusk of the Water Lily, Li Zijun came to the Water Lily Park six or seven every day for daily maintenance management and hybrid operation. "Water lily is very long. Basically there will be flowers throughout the year in Guangdong." Li Zijun introduced the growth of water lilies while demonstrating the hybrid process. During the rain, the rain was suddenly dense, and ripples were rippled in the water, breaking the coldness of the static water lilies.

Early in the morning, Li Zijun came to the new variety cultivation area to check the cultivation of new varieties.

Five years ago, Li Zijun graduated from the undergraduate undergraduate of the Horticultural Garden of Zhongkai Agricultural Engineering. He resolutely "heavy warehouse" his water lily dream and returned to Yulian. On the occasion of graduation, Li Zijun once said: "In the future, whether or not they work in plants in the future, they will adhere to their hobbies and continue to cultivate more excellent new varieties." Today, Li Zijun takes his water lilies cultivation technology to devote himself to himself. A large flower industrial park and agricultural tourism leisure resort in Gaoming District, Foshan City can contribute to the promotion of agricultural tourism integration and promoting local rural revitalization.

In 1995, Li Zijun was born in Guangzhou. After raising orchids and planting balls, 10 -year -old Li Zijun has come into contact with a lot of plants. "In elementary school, grandma bought a water lilies from the flower market. Because of lack of experience and did not support the water lilies, it was my first contact with water lilies." The failure of failure did not persuade Li Zijun, but made him love the water lilies even more. The more you plant, the more you are reinforced.

When Li Zijun planted the rooftop when he was a child, he was filled with blue planting buckets.

The rooftop on the ninth floor became Li Zijun's back garden. More than fifty blue plastic barrels, dozens of tons of soil, are moving on the rooftop by a simple ladder. "Some people say that Zijun is not a genius, it is a talent. I have always believed that as long as I work hard, I will succeed." In the past, there was less information about the reading of water lilies. There was no computer at home. , Check the information about the planting and hybrid breeding of water lilies at home and abroad, and have met a lot of water lilies enthusiasts.

When Li Zijun played in the park when he was a child, he took the old photos by the lotus pond. (Provided by the respondent)

In the third grade of elementary school, he started buying some lotus flowers in the local flower market to play and play; in the fourth grade, he first made up more than a dozen famous lotus and water lily species from Nanjing Yilianyuan; in junior high school, in junior high school, He made thousands of dollars made by selling lotus and water lily seedlings in blogs, as well as the cost of life saved to buy new varieties.

With the growth, the Internet has unlocked Li Zijun's new water lilies world, and the varieties of growing water lilies are rich. He has the idea of ​​breeding new products and cultivated unique water lilies. According to the experience of breeding of others, Li Zijun took the gourd to paint the scoop and tried to hybridize the water lilies, but did not do it.

Antique atmosphere

"Water lilies are a ever -changing beauty for me. Hybrid cultivation to cultivate new varieties. The moment it blossoms, it is like a blind box, and the color that is unexpected has different experiences." From small to large. "From small to large. Li Zijun has seen a thousand species of water lilies, and the color and posture of each kind of water lilies can refresh him. And this freshness makes Li Zijun roll up in the frustration of the lotus, see through the essence of frustration, and desperately love.

For the sake of his heart, Li Zijun began to involve the professional knowledge of hybrids. The turnaround appeared in 2012.

This year, Li Zijun cultivated his first new type of water lilies "Cherry Boom". One year later, he launched a new variety "Detective Elika". In 2016, Li Zijun's "Detective Elika" was sent to the United States to participate in the Tenth World Water Lill Contest, winning the championship of the event and two champions of the newesty water lilies. This is the first time that the Chinese have won awards in the competition. Detective Elika

The name of "Detective Elika" comes from a detective novel that Li Zijun loves to read. This kind of dark purple water lily can bloom throughout the year in Guangzhou. Potted flowers are about 13 cm. The number of petals is 27 to 33 petals, which have strong cold resistance, huge flowers, excellent flowers and neat flowers, and no hook petals. , Make the industry at home and abroad quickly paying attention to the in his early 20s, a Guangzhou guy who has been engaged in water lilies for more than ten years. "Li Zijun" has become a name that cannot be wrapped in the Chinese water lilies world.

Interest is better than everything.

This year, the summer of Guangdong arrived as scheduled. Under the hot sun, Li Zijun took a sunscreen cap and walked between the water lily pond with a camera with a camera. Each pool was raised in the water lotus varieties from all over the world. "This is called San Louiskin, with a small amount of pale yellow water lilies, and the stamens of the flowers already have pollen. We can use it as a hybrid parent." Li Zijun carefully collected 6 white and yellow stamens, put in Australia in Australia The Cuban Talia Water Lily, gently shaking the flowers, fully combined with the mother's pistil. "If the pollination of water lilies is successful, the fruit will be produced, and the fruit is mature for 20-30 days."

It is understood that every 100 groups of hybridization combinations have only two or three groups. The granules are not harvested, and the buds of flower buds are surprised. Li Zijun ushered in difficulties, constantly exploring unknown, expressing his unique personal aesthetics.

"Yuanyuan hybridization is a common method for cultivating new varieties of water lilies, just like lions and tigers are matched with lion tiger beasts. The probability of success is very low, but there will be unexpected features." Li Zijun pointed to the new variety "antique atmosphere atmosphere at the atmosphere of antiques. "Detective Elika" introduced. Although the far -fate hybridization is simple in operation, it can concentrate the fine traits of the parent and mother -in -law in the offspring. However, this hybridization method is time -consuming and uncertain, and the "mixed race" obtained by hybrids will appear malformed leaves and petals. It takes seven or eight years to get stable varieties to be pushed to the market to get stable varieties.

Antique atmosphere

"Antique atmosphere" is a new variety of recent cultivation and breeding prizes. The color shows rare orange pink, which draws two excellent characteristics of the parent -based spending and the mother -based flower type beauty. Orange pink petals are staggered and orderly, and naturally stretch, giving people a sense of elegance and warmth. "In Monet's sleeping lilies, blue and purple are relatively rare, because these two colors are mostly produced in tropical, and it is difficult to survive in the European climate." Under such a creative concept, Li Zijun has surrendered "Detective Elika". ——A blue -purple and cold -resistant varieties fill the color that Monet's sleeping lotus painting does not have. After nine years, "Detective Elika" is still one of the best -selling varieties in the garden application market.

From Guangzhou for two hours to work in Gaoming, Li Zijun has a lot of uncomfortable places. In the familiarity of the environment and dealing with the locals, he slowly adapts to rural life and find his own work fun. "Rich rural land resources, good natural environment, is very beneficial to the cultivation of water lilies."

Variety resource library

After years of hard work, Li Zijun has created three major water lilies parks in Mo Shanghua Caiyou Garden. Aquatic botanical gardens covers an area of ​​5 acres, as well as new varieties cultivation areas and variety resource libraries of 3 acres of area. In the entire park, there are more than 300 types of water lilies, and most of them are introduced from Europe, Japan and South Korea, and Thailand. In 2017, the park began to cultivate new water lily varieties. At present, more than 30 self -cultivated varieties have reached more than thirty.

Rwanda Water Lily

"The domestic water lilies industry has only started after 2000. In recent years, as everyone has deepened their understanding of water lilies, it has been favored by many flower enthusiasts." Water lilies often appear in large parks or botanical gardens. Conditional flower enthusiasts will plant them on the balcony or courtyard. In 2021, Li Zijun introduced the smallest water lilies in the world -Rwanda Water Lily, with a maximum of 20 cm and monotonous. Combined with the market demand, Li Zijun plans to use Rwanda's water lilies to hybridize the mini compact and rich colors. It is suitable for breeding of water lilies who breed at home to send the beauty of "sleeping beauty in flowers" into millions of households.

Aquatic botanical garden

When returning to Yulian, Li Zijun dreamed of building the garden with the most domestic water lilies. He hopes that the seedlings in large tanks can branches and loose leaves, promote planting in large areas, and meet market demand. More water lilies enthusiasts have seen self -cultivation. For him, it is a particularly not easy but remarkable thing that can develop hobbies into a lifelong career. This is even more of the national cause.

In Li Zijun's eyes, the aquatic plants are very charming. They have developed various fairy tale magical abilities in the adversity to overcome adverse conditions such as the lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and weak sunlight. In the adversity of plants casting in reinforced concrete, Li Zijun, like aquatic plants, continues to "evolve" and create extraordinary "life".
