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.

A locally collected Xiashan Douban orchid from Yunnan, an absolute masterpiece among lotus-petal orchids, with petal proportions reaching a 1:1 ratio, and no fragrance. The three outer petals are too round, making them very hard to spread open. It has already surpassed the lotus-petal standard, so calling it apple petals would be more fitting!
