情人节:巨型玫瑰炫耀浪漫新高度The height of romance
A romantic chap hoping to surprise his young lady with a bunch of red roses on Valentine's Day would have trouble hiding these behind his back. Unless, that is, he happened to be ten feet tall.
情人节这天,浪漫的小伙总希望拿出一大束火红
玫瑰给他的姑娘带来惊喜,但相信这样的巨型
玫瑰他无法藏在身后玩儿浪漫,除非他身高3米。
The supersize blooms grown high in the Andes are the longest stem plants in the world. They are 6ft from top to toe – three times the normal size – and have a flower six to eight inches in diameter with more than 60 petals, although the fragrance is only slight.
据《每日邮报》2月6日报道,这些产自安第斯山脉的巨型
玫瑰是世界上茎部最长的植物。尽管它香气清幽,但花枝长约1.8米,是普通玫瑰枝的3倍,且每朵花的直径达到15厘米至20厘米,花瓣超过60片。
One variety is a deep crimson, the other a lighter red with blood-red streaks. And they come at a supersize price — at least£150 a dozen. The roses, some of which should make it to Europe in time for the 14th, are grown in rich Ecuadorian soil at an altitude of 9,000ft.
这种巨型玫瑰既有深红色品种,也有花瓣带血色纹路的浅红色品种。当然,这种品种优异的“玫瑰巨人”也享有不菲的
价格——每束(12枝)至少150英镑。目前,即将在今年2月14日进入欧洲市场的巨型玫瑰正被栽培在厄瓜多尔海拔9000英尺的肥沃土壤中。
The stems are as thick as a man's finger and very thorny. California wholesaler Gerald Prolman, of Organic Bouquet, also supplies a special deep steel vase to display them, costing another£40 on top. He said the 400,000 blooms grown this year were selling fast. "People who are giving flowers want to make an impression, and this is the ultimate impression you can make."
“玫瑰巨人”的枝干多刺,粗细和男人的手指差不多。为了更好地展示这种玫瑰,美国加州的一位鲜花零售商专门为买花的顾客提供了一种价值40英镑的深度钢
花瓶供选择。这位零售商表示,为今年情人节准备的40万只巨型玫瑰很快就将
销售一空,“送花的人希望给对方留下深刻印象,而‘玫瑰巨人’给人的印象是无与伦比的”。
