?Chapter 383: Chapter 372: Stupefied_2 Chapter 383: Chapter 372: Stupefied_2 The only thing that improved Old Man Lan’s mood was that the people who had seen the orchid bud all praised it endlessly. After all, the experts’ perspective differed from Zheng Tan’s.

Therefore, in the following period, whenever Zheng Tan passed by the small flower bed and hopped onto the wall to look inside, he would find several old men gathered around the spot where the orchid was placed, sometimes even arguing for a long time over a few points of view.

They, like Mr. Lan, believed that this orchid was likely a natural mutant of the Iron Bone variety, deserving of research. The only issue was its continuous failure to bloom, for which everyone had their own reasons and explanations.

Some orchids need more time to bloom, ranging from a couple of months to even half a year. But now, the bud of this flower had grown to such a state that anyone who saw it would think it was on the verge of blooming, yet it remained steadfastly closed.

“In any case, as long as the bud is healthy and normal, it’s a good sign,” one of the old men said.

They could not find a solution, but the orchid was still healthy; it was just the flower bud that wouldn’t open, which was better than if it had shown signs of disease. That would have been truly unsolvable. It’s rare for everyone to anticipate something with such enthusiasm.
