Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a multicolor flower and a multicolor flower. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing a multicolor flower in which a plurality of petals are dyed and the color of the whole flower changes stepwise, and to a multicolor flower.

  Flowers give people impression by their scent and appearance. The appearance of the flower is almost determined by the color of the petals. For most flowers, the petal color is one color for one flower. That is, the color of the flower is often one color. It is thought that the impression given to a person can be changed by changing the color of the petals.

  A method for changing the color of orchids is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In this method, a storage space is formed in the stem (flower bud), and a solid stain is inserted therein. Thereby, a dyeing agent is conveyed to a petal with moisture, and a petal is dyed.

  However, although it is known to simply change the color of the petals, there are known specific methods for making multiple flowers petals by making multiple petals multicolored and giving various impressions to people. Absent. In particular, when a flower is viewed as a whole, the color change changes stepwise, so that a so-called gradation effect can be produced to further impress people.

  The present invention takes into account the above-described conventional technology, and a method for producing a multicolor flower and a multicolor flower in which the color of the whole flower changes stepwise by dyeing the flower with a plurality of colors. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve the object, in the present invention, a cut flower having at least one stem having a flower at one end and a cut end face at the other end, along the axial direction of the stem from the cut end face side. A step of hollowing out the inside of the stem to form a hollow portion, and a plurality of divisions in the circumferential direction of the stem by forming a cut in the axial direction of the stem from the cut end surface side with respect to the outer wall of the hollow portion There is provided a method for producing a multicolored flower, comprising a dividing step for forming a portion and a dyeing step for immersing the divided portion in dyes of different colors.

  Preferably, in the dividing step, the four cuts are formed to form the divided portions as first to fourth sections, respectively, and in the dyeing step, the divided portions are respectively red, green, yellow, Soak in blue dye.

  Preferably, in the dividing step, a ratio of lengths in the circumferential direction of the cut end surfaces of the first section to the fourth section is 1: 1: 1: 0.7, and in the dyeing step, The dye immersed in the section is blue.

  Preferably, the cut flower is within 5 days after forming the cut end face of the stem.

  Preferably, the length of the stem is 50 cm or more.

  The present invention also provides a multicolored flower characterized in that the color of the flower changes in a stepwise manner to have multiple colors.

  According to the present invention, since the plurality of divided portions are dipped in dyes of different colors, the flowers can be dyed with the color of the dye with the dye sucked up from the divided portions through the stems, and each divided portion. It can be colored with different color dyes sucked up from the flower so as to change the color of the flower step by step. That is, the dye sucked up by the flower through the stem colors a part of the flower with the color of the dye and the other part with an intermediate color between the adjacent dyes.

  In particular, four divided sections are formed as the first to fourth sections, and the dye is made into four colors of red, green, yellow, and blue, so that the entire flower can be made into seven so-called rainbow colors. At this time, by making the size of the fourth section immersed in the blue dye slightly smaller than the other sections, it is possible to color the rainbow color with high accuracy. Specifically, if the length in the circumferential direction with respect to the stem of the fourth section is 70% with respect to the length of the other sections, a rainbow color in which the respective colors are evenly arranged can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the coloring property of a flower will fall remarkably after 6 days have passed since the cut end face was formed on the stem, that is, as a cut flower, it is preferable to color within 5 days. Moreover, an intermediate color can be reliably formed because the length of a stem is 50 cm or more.

Schematic when forming a hollow part by a hollow process. Schematic when forming a notch in a division process. Schematic when dyeing | staining at a dyeing process. Schematic which shows a dyeing | staining process notionally.

  Hereinafter, a method for producing a multicolored flower according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the method according to the present invention is completed through at least three steps.

  First, a hollowing process is performed (step S1). In this step, a cut flower 1 as shown in FIG. 2 is first prepared. The cut flower 1 prepared here has at least a flower 2 and a stem 3. That is, the presence or absence of the leaf 4 is irrelevant to the effect of the present invention. Specifically, the flower 2 is arranged at one end of the stem 3, and the other end of the stem 3 is cut to form a cut end face 5. In the example of the figure, a rose is shown as the cut flower 1.

  A hollow portion 6 is formed on the cut end face 5 side of the stem 3 with respect to such a cut flower 1. Specifically, a drilling tool 8 such as a drill is inserted into the stem 3 along the axial direction of the stem 3 from the cut end face 5 side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the drilling tool 8 is inserted along the axial direction of the stem 3 while rotating in the direction of arrow R. As a result, the inside of the stem 3 is cut out to form a hollow portion 6. That is, a part of the solid stem 3 is hollow, and the end of the stem 3 is cylindrical. For this reason, an outer wall 7 made of a skin is disposed around the hollow portion 6. The depth of hollowing out is 3 cm to 5 cm as a guide. By hollowing out the stem 3, a so-called “medullary” portion inside the stem 3 is discharged. By hollowing out the stem 3 in this way to form the hollow portion 6, it becomes easier to form the notches 9 in the subsequent division step, and further improve the dyeability of the flowers 2 in the subsequent dyeing step. Can do.

  Next, a division process is performed (step S2). In this step, a cut 9 is formed in the outer wall 7. Specifically, the cut 9 is formed by using a knife or the like along the axial direction of the stem 3 from the cut end face 5 side. At this time, first, cuts 9a are formed at two places so that the outer wall 7 is divided into two, and then two cuts 9b are formed. By forming the cuts 9, the outer wall 7 is divided into a plurality of divided portions 10. In the figure, an example in which four division parts 10 are formed is shown.

  Next, a dyeing process is performed (step S3). In this step, the divided portions 10 are immersed in dyes of different colors to dye the flowers 2. Specifically, a container 12 having a storage space partitioned by a partition plate 11 is prepared, and dyes 13 of different colors are stored in the storage space. One division part 10 is immersed in each of these accommodation spaces. In this way, since the plurality of divided portions 10 are immersed in the different color dyes 13, the flowers 2 can be dyed with the color of the dye 13 with the dye 13 sucked up from the divided portions 10 through the stem 3. Moreover, it can color so that the color of the flower 2 may be changed in steps with the dye 13 of the different color sucked up from each division part 10. FIG. That is, the dye 13 sucked up by the flower 2 through the stem 3 colors a part of the flower 2 with the color of the dye 13 and the other part with an intermediate color between the adjacent dye 13. Therefore, the flower 2 becomes a multicolored flower that looks like a gradation, and it attracts the heart of the person who sees the flower 2 and can be impressed.

  Here, the dyeing process will be further described in detail.

  If the dyeing process is conceptually shown, the stem 3 can be drawn as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is drawn with the stem 3 opened for convenience only, and the stem 3 is not actually opened in this way. By drawing in this way, it can be shown in an easy-to-understand manner that the divided portions 10 divided into four are immersed in the dyes 13 in different storage spaces. Here, if the four divided portions 10 are respectively a first section 10a, a second section 10b, a third section 10c, and a fourth section 10d, the sections 10a to 10d are respectively red, green, yellow, and blue dyes 13a to 13a. Immerse in 13d. In this way, four divided portions 10 were formed, and the dyes 13a to 13d were sucked up and colored by immersing the red, green, yellow, and blue dyes 13a to 13d in each of the divided portions 10a to 10d. Flower 2 is a so-called rainbow color of seven colors. Since this rainbow color is most attractive to human eyes and gives impression, it is preferable to use the red, green, yellow, and blue as the dyes 13a to 13d. The dyeing process is performed for 6 to 24 hours. Moreover, when performing a dyeing | staining process, ambient temperature has preferable 5 to 10 degreeC.

  The rainbow colors are originally purple, blue, green, yellow, and red, and the colors purple, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red are intermediate colors between purple and blue and between yellow and red. It has become a taste. Inventor of the present application that if the lengths l, m, n, and o in the circumferential direction of the first section to the fourth sections 10a to 10d on the cut end face 5 are made equal, the assertion of the blue system is strongly felt by the optical illusion. Found. For this reason, when reproducing the seven rainbow colors, the purple dye is not used, but the blue dye is used as one color, and the blue absorption ratio to the flower 2 is smaller than the others, and the seven colors are evenly arranged. I try to do it. That is, when the flower 2 is colored in seven rainbow colors, the four divided portions 10 are clearly formed in seven colors rather than five, six, three, or seven. Can be reproduced.

  Further, if the size of the fourth section 10d that sucks up the blue 13d is made slightly smaller than that of the other sections 10a to 10c, the uniformity of the color arrangement is further increased. Specifically, the ratio of the lengths l, m, n, o in the circumferential direction of the first section to the fourth sections 10a to 10d on the cut end surface 5 is 1: 1: 1: 0.7, The dye immersed in the fourth section 10d corresponding to 0.7 is blue 13d. Thereby, the rainbow color of a uniform gradation (uniform coloration) can be obtained with high precision, and the flower 2 can be colored like that. In the above description, an example for the most efficient coloration of the rainbow color is shown. However, the dye used is not limited to the above, and any color may be used. Also, the number of division units 10 can be variously selected, and the number of colors to be colored can be changed accordingly. That is, if this invention is used, the multicolor flower of the gradation which used 2 colors as a basic color can be manufactured.

  In addition, the cut flower 1 used for this invention uses the thing within five days after forming the cut end surface 5 of the stem 3. FIG. This is because the inventor of the present application has found from experience that the coloring property of the flower 2 is significantly lowered after 6 days have passed since the cut end face 5 is formed on the stem 3, that is, the cut flower 1 is formed. More preferably, when the flower 2 is in full bloom for 10 minutes, the cut end face 5 is preferably formed when the flower 2 is in bloom for 3 minutes. If it is within 5 days from this time, coloring property will be especially favorable. The color of the flower 2 used in the present invention is white, but it may be colored. Moreover, the length of the stem 3 of the cut flower 1 used in the present invention is 50 cm or more. The inventor of the present application has found from experience that when the stem 3 is shorter than 50 cm, it is difficult to give the flower 2 the intermediate color of the dye 13. This is because if the stem 3 is 50 cm short, the flower 2 will be colored before becoming an intermediate color in the stem 3. That is, by setting the stem 3 to 50 cm or more, the intermediate color of the used dye 13 can be surely colored to the flower 2.
