楚天都市报极目新闻讯（记者 周萍英 实习生 张瀚文）11月14日，湖北省广水市吴店镇芝麻湾村的一处兰花培育基地，数千盆兰花整齐摆放，空气里弥漫着淡淡清香。国香兰艺产业园负责人徐海成带着我们穿行在棚架之间，这位深耕兰花行业20余年的养兰人，从广东玩墨兰起步，如今已建成规模化培育基地，带出500多名徒弟，培育的稀有蕙兰品种更是在圈内声名远扬。
Jimu News (Reporter Zhou Pingying, Intern Zhang Hanwen)On November 14, at an orchid nursery in Zhima Wan Village, Wudian Town, Guangshui City, Hubei, thousands of pots were neatly arranged, with a faint fragrance permeating the air. Xu Haicheng, head of the Guoxiang Lanyi Industrial Park, led us through the rows of greenhouse shelves. With more than 20 years dedicated to the orchid trade – starting with ink orchids in Guangdong – he has since established a large-scale growing facility, trained over 500 apprentices, and gained recognition in orchid circles for developing rare and celebrated cymbidium varieties.

“这种变异现象概率极低，千万分之一才可能出现一株。”徐海成轻轻托起一盆虎斑蕙兰叶片，语气中难掩珍视。他介绍，这盆兰花是2014年从安徽引进的品种，曾斩获三项大奖——洛阳兰展特金奖、湖南长沙国际兰展特金奖、广东翁园兰花博览会金奖。徐海成转动花盆，让大家从不同角度观赏：“目前全国仅此一盆，你们看这纹路，人工根本仿不出来。”据村民介绍，这盆兰花有人曾开价60万元。
“The odds of this kind of mutation are extremely low – only about one in ten million plants,” Xu Haicheng carefully cupped the leaves of a tiger-spotted Cymbidium orchid, his tone betraying how dearly he treasured it. He explained that this particular orchid was a variety introduced from Anhui in 2014 and has since won three major awards: the Special Gold Award at the Luoyang Orchid Exhibition, the Special Gold Award at the Hunan Changsha International Orchid Expo, and the Gold Award at the Guangdong Wengyuan Orchid Expo. Gently rotating the pot to offer different views, Xu added, “This is the only one of its kind in the entire country. Look at these patterns – they’re impossible to replicate artificially.” According to local residents, the orchid has already received an offer of 600,000 yuan.
徐海成告诉极目新闻记者，兰花作为四大国花之一，核心价值在于观赏，价格并无固定标准，多是通过协商定价或拍卖成交。“懂行的人能看出其中门道，不懂的人可能觉得它不如普通兰花茂盛。”他用指腹轻触叶片黄色部分，“这不是枯萎，是品种本身的特性，摸起来厚实有韧性，这也是虎斑蕙兰的标志性特征。”
Xu Haicheng explained that as one of China's four major national flowers, the core value of orchids lies in their aesthetic appeal. He emphasized that their prices are not standardized but are instead determined through negotiation or auction. "An expert can recognize its unique qualities, while someone less familiar might see it as less thriving than a common orchid," he said, gently running his finger over the yellow patches on a leaf. "This isn't a sign of poor health, but a natural characteristic of the variety. The leaf is thick and resilient to the touch—a defining feature of the tiger spot Cymbidium."
徐海成的兰花之路始于1993年：“在广东第一次接触墨兰，叶片宽宽的，摆在案头特别雅致，慢慢就入了迷。”
Xu Haicheng's orchid journey began in 1993. "My first encounter was with ink orchids in Guangdong—their broad leaves looked so elegant on the desk that I gradually became fascinated," he recalled."
兰花行业入门需3到5年专业积累，徐海成随手托起旁边一盆兰花，指出叶片上的细微差别：“你看这盆是散斑，纹路是散开的，刚才那盆虎斑是块状纹路。兰花品种繁多，而且每年都会新增近200种，把每个品种的特征记牢是关键。”如今，他在随州拥有两个兰花基地，总规模达20万株。
He explained that entering the orchid industry requires three to five years of specialized learning. Lifting a nearby orchid, he pointed out subtle leaf variations: "You see, this one has scattered spots—the patterns are dispersed. The tiger spot variety we saw earlier has block-shaped patterns. With hundreds of orchid varieties and nearly 200 new additions each year, memorizing each variety's traits is essential." Now operating two orchid bases in Suizhou, Xu currently maintains a total collection of 200,000 plants.
除了线下培育，徐海成也布局互联网直播，最大的号有上百万粉丝，网络上很多兰花大主播都是从他这里出来的。
Beyond horticulture, Xu Haicheng has expanded into live streaming, with his largest account boasting over a million followers. Notably, many prominent orchid streamers online originally mentored under his guidance.
谈及兰花养殖，徐海成兴致高涨：培育兰花湿度要控制在60%左右，温度16℃-36℃最适宜。徐海成顺手指着一个花盆，底部有多个透气孔：“花盆是我定制的透气材质，不然根会变黑烂掉。”他又补充道，还有很多文人雅士用水缸养兰花，放外面三个月没浇水，照样长得好得很。
When discussing orchid care, Xu Haicheng’s enthusiasm becomes palpable: "Orchids require about 60% humidity and thrive best at temperatures between 16°C to 36°C." He pointed to a custom-made pot with multiple ventilation holes at the bottom. "I designed these breathable pots myself - without proper airflow, the roots turn black and rot." He added that many gardening enthusiasts successfully grow orchids in water vessels outdoors, noting "some can thrive for three months without additional watering."
谈及兰花寿命，徐海成语气带着自豪：“会养的话能永久存活，韩国姑娘出嫁都用兰花做陪嫁，我见过存活时间最久的一盆，已经传了三代人了。”
Speaking of orchid lifespan, Xu Haicheng's voice carried distinct pride: "With proper care, they can live indefinitely. In Korea, women include orchids in their marital dowries. The longest-lasting specimen I've seen has been passed down through three generations."
“湖北以蕙兰为主，而且随州是‘中国蕙兰之乡’。”徐海成邀请大家开花时节再来：到时候满棚都是香味，可以亲自尝尝花蜜，感受一下兰花的魅力。
“Hubei specializes mainly in cymbidium orchids, and Suizhou is recognized as ‘China’s Cymbidium Homeland,’” Xu noted. He warmly invited the visitors to return during blooming season: When the greenhouses become filled with sweet floral scents to experience the true charm of orchids.
