The beautiful spectacle presented by Douban is admirable
Beautiful Spectacle, a fragrant Douban from Sichuan, with large and brilliantly colored flowers; the entire bloom resembles a roaring male lion, with a bold personality and a strong sense of motion. Beautiful Spectacle has a particularly long flowering period, with large flower form and rich content; from bud emergence to full bloom it takes 20 days to one month, as layer upon layer of petals unfurl in succession, with changes every day. Throughout the process, flowers bloom within flowers, adding wonder upon wonder, creating the beautiful spectacle of a flower within a flower. In addition, the petals are relatively thick, so the flowers remain open for a long time without fading, greatly extending the flowering period. Its pollinia are more numerous than those of conventional wonder flowers, and some blooms can release fragrance. This is yet another blessing from heaven for this flower, making up for the regret that ordinary Douban has no scent, and it is a treasure among the wonder flowers of Cymbidium goeringii.

Several unreliable practices in orchid care
1. Judging the quality of an orchid from one or two photos online is unreliable. For some new flowers, it is very hard to determine their quality based only on photos of the first bloom; 2. Looking only at the flowers and not the leaves is unreliable. The flowers are seen for a moment, but enjoyed for a year. Only when flowers and leaves are in harmony is there true charm; 3. Using centimeters to indicate the leaf length of an orchid variety is unreliable. In traditional orchid growing, wild-collected orchids were grown in courtyards (natural cultivation), and leaf length (height) was relatively stable, for example Cheng Mei at around 50 cm. Now technology is advanced and growing environments are diverse, so leaf length varies greatly. I have seen strong Cheng Mei plants with flowers introduced from Japan that were just over 30 cm, and in the south I have seen Cheng Mei with leaf length reaching nearly one meter.
