As soon as I entered Chaiqiao Town, I felt as if I were in a beautiful artistic conception of "moving branches to photograph, blowing flowers to send fragrance far away". In the fields on the mountain, flower fields and wooden fields are one after another, and the villages seem to be dotted in the big garden. The flower production in Chaiqiao has a history of more than 30 years. The typical subtropical monsoon climate and neutral and acid soil in the town provide fertile "beds" for flowers and trees. Since the mid-1990s, Chaiqiao Town has adjusted its agricultural planting structure and vigorously developed the flower industry with rhododendrons as the main component. At present, 39 of the 40 villages in the town mainly plant flowers and trees, of which 10 is specialized in planting flowers, especially in Hongao and Hetou villages, where almost every family grows flowers, and 90% of the village's agricultural income comes from it. In 2002, the planting area of flowers in Chaiqiao has reached 20,000 mu, there are more than 3,000 households engaged in flower management, and there are 25 large households with planting area exceeding 100 mu. In the first half of 200/kloc-0, the sales of flowers and trees reached 90 million yuan. Among more than 0/00 flower varieties in Chaiqiao Town/KLOC-0, azalea is the most eye-catching, and its planting scale, stock of commercial seedlings and sales volume have all ranked first in the country in 1999. Therefore, Chaiqiao was named as "the hometown of azaleas in Zhejiang" and "the hometown of azaleas in China" by the Provincial Forestry Department and the Ministry of Agriculture. At present, there are more than 50 species of Rhododendron in this town, including Xi Juan, Chunjuan, Zijuan, Mao Juan, Dong Juan and Xia Juan. Mao Juan, Chunjuan, Zijuan, Dong Juan and Xia Juan have four seasons of flowering, with diverse colors and complete seedling types, which sell well in six provinces and one city in East China, the Yangtze River and the southern region. At the beginning of 1999, more than 300 precious rhododendrons in Chaiqiao were acquired by Diaoyutai State Guesthouse with a crown of 1.5 meters, which caused a sensation in the flower and tree circles in China for a while. Improving taste is an important strategy for Chaiqiao "Flower Town" to enjoy a good reputation in China. Only in June 2000, 5438+ 10, they introduced 10 new rhododendrons from western Belgium, such as "Pure White Billy" and "Pink White Billy". Shaxi village is famous for its rich azaleas. With their intelligence, the flower farmers in this village have overcome the problems of Xia Dong, flowering control, grafting technology and so on. What is even more surprising is that Wojinkang, the "King of Rhododendron", can not only "transform" monochromatic Rhododendron into 10 multicolor Rhododendron, but also realize soilless cultivation of Rhododendron.
