Ten Aspects of Orchid Appreciation: Ten Key Points for Judging the Quality of Orchids
The appreciation of Chinese orchids by our people has gone through a development process from enjoying the fragrance, to viewing the flowers, to observing the leaves, and to appreciating the "art" variations. The traditional love of orchids was mainly centered on enjoying their fragrance. The ancients held orchid fragrance in the highest esteem, calling it "national fragrance," "fragrance of kings," and "the finest fragrance under heaven." The fragrance of orchids differs from other fragrances: it comes and goes, appears and disappears, seems near and then far, mysterious and unfathomable. An ancient poem says: "I cultivated orchid buds for two or three years; with warm sun and gentle breeze they bloomed one after another. Sitting long, I forgot the fragrance was in the room; opening the window, butterflies sometimes flew in." This is a vivid description of orchid fragrance. Besides fragrance, the noble and elegant character of orchids, not competing with peaches and plums for brilliance, not changing color because of frost and snow, is also deeply loved by our people. In particular, the pure white "plain heart" flower is regarded as the foremost among all orchids, representing the so-called "character of a gentleman." Beyond enjoying fragrance and observing color, there is also emphasis on petal type, requiring the flower shape to have spiritual charm. For example, when the two lateral sepals of an orchid are arranged horizontally in a "single-character shoulder," it has traditionally been regarded as an excellent variety. If the lip is tightly pressed below the column, slightly revealed but not extended, it can be called a top-grade variety.
