Xi'an Botanical Garden has recently attracted the attention of citizens and friends. It turns out that a lotus flower appeared in the lotus pond in the old garden of the Botanical Garden. Two pink flowers, one big and the other small, open back to back, are very lovely and are also outstanding in the entire lotus pond. This lotus flower is also the second time in the 61 years since the establishment of Xi'an Botanical Garden. It is very precious.

As a member of the Water Lily family, lotus flowers mostly grow in calm lakes, swamps and still ponds. The lotus flower shape is large and has many petals, layered on top of each other, which can be fresh and refined as well as charming. Lotus is also an indispensable plant in many garden landscapes. Bingdi lotus is actually a special variety of lotus and one of the rarest varieties of lotus. Because Antilian can only be a naturally occurring variety and cannot be inherited, it cannot be copied artificially at present, and its growth probability is as high as 1 in 100,000, so it seems very rare.

So how did merger come about? Judging from the current research data: one is formed by a thousand-petaled lotus with two axes in the receptacle. The petals of the thousand-petaled lotus grow on the receptacle with two axes. Through the thinning of the outer petals, the inner petals are formed by continuous proliferation. We all know that a lotus flower has a leaf and a flower. To put it bluntly, these two axes mean that two flower buds grow on a abnormal receptacle. Then this lotus is precious and abnormal. Another situation is that during the differentiation process of lotus flower buds, they are stimulated and influenced by the outside world, causing the flower buds to differentiate into two flower centers, and then develop into twins with two flower buds. No matter what the situation is, this lotus is invaluable. Therefore, in ancient China, Bingti lotus was regarded as a symbol of love and harmony between husband and wife, and was widely used as an auspicious pattern.

In modern times, there are also many buildings that incorporate Bingtilian's ingenuity, such as Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium, Wuzhen Grand Theater and Kunshan Culture and Art Center. These buildings all use Bingtilian as a design concept. Not only because of its beautiful shape, but also because of the noble quality and auspicious meaning we have placed on the lotus flower from ancient times to the present.

There is really a lot of news about Bingdi lotus this year. Not long ago, Bingdi lotus flowers also appeared in Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing. Unfortunately, this lotus flower was picked by tourists early in the morning before it withered. The reason was that it was strange and had not seen it before. I wanted to take it home and show it to my family. The probability of one in 100,000 is of course rare, but this is a public item. It is a pity that you take it home privately and not only will others see it, but also shorten the flowering period. Coincidentally, two lotus flowers appeared at the same time in Hangzhou Xixi Wetland Park, but one of them was picked one day after blooming. I hope that the lotus that appeared in Xi'an Botanical Garden this time can be well protected and this situation will not happen again. The civilized atmosphere of society is getting better and better, people's ideological awareness is increasing day by day, and civilized tourism and civilized travel have become a general consensus. However, when faced with individual uncivilized phenomena, we should consciously resist and strengthen reflection.
