White Swan, a new plain-flowered variety of Cymbidium lianpan, with tall flower stems, rush-like stems, flowers held above the foliage, blooms naturally white, petals crystal clear and translucent, large lotus-type flowers, flower shape well-proportioned. Leaf color emerald green, leaf shape arched and drooping, leaf texture thick and hard, leaf shape elegant and beautiful, scarce in number. The plant form is compact, with a semi-drooping leaf posture, appearing especially slender and graceful. Leaf texture is glutinous and moist, lustrous, emerald green in color. The leaf surface is slightly "V"-shaped, tending to flatten in the upper part, with fine marginal serrations and sharp leaf tips. Floral art, small lotus-shaped arrangement, flat shoulders, good extension. Scissors-shaped petals (holding the column) are short and broad, tightly closed to guard the column and not expose it, and the spreading lip is pure white and recurved. The flower form remains unchanged after long blooming, with exceptionally good substance. This famous cultivar's leaf buds and flower buds both emerge naturally pure white with a faint greenish tint, and the flower color is naturally white as jade, with a texture especially like that of gardenia flowers. When grown on especially robust plants, the flowering is also on a wick-like stem reaching up to 40 cm tall, the width of the outer three petals reaches 2 cm, and the diameter of the flower form reaches over 8 cm.
