1. Mobao (Purple Dragonfly)

The Mobao has richly colored, deep and substantial flowers. The entire flower is deep red tinged with purple, even blackish-red, which is rarely seen among Cymbidium ensifolium. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a Cymbidium sinense variety. The flowers are large and rise above the leaves, and the flower form is stable. It is said to be a lazy plant that blooms easily.

2. Datang Gongfen

Currently regarded as the representative of the finest plain-colored Cymbidium ensifolium, its lotus-petal flower form is dignified and beautiful, with stable blooming, good flower retention and a long flowering period. Its delicate fragrance is pleasant. It is said to be relatively easy to grow and is a famous variety worth collecting among plain-colored flowers.

3. Hong Yipin

Each side of the petals has a streak of red blush, which makes it more attractive to look at. The petal shape is regular and the center of the flower is standard. The small flowers and small plant are well matched with the leaf form. It blooms and grows easily, the flower form is stable and the fragrance is moderate.

4. Jinzhou Honghe

The petal shape is still quite regular, the plant type is medium-short and the flower form is stable. The flowers are not considered large, but the color is fresh and the fragrance is delicate. Unfortunately, it is also a lazy bloomer and slow grower that does not easily become strong. It is suitable for beginners to practice their growing skills.

5. Hewang

The flower form is relatively large and the fragrance is quite good. The lotus-shaped petals are sometimes not very regular. To be precise, Hewang is actually a lotus-type immortal, but this does not affect its status among lotus-petal flowers. Compared with the entry-level Jinhe, Hewang is a lazy bloomer and slow grower, so growing it well tests one's cultivation skills. After all, most petal-type flowers are somewhat difficult for beginners.

6. Tianshan Mudan

A jade-green tree-shaped strange flower. The flower form, flower color and petal shape are all very distinctive. The flowers are large, the plant is small and the flowering period is long, and it keeps growing as it blooms, opening higher and higher. It blooms and grows easily, with many flowers and a strong fragrance.

7. Seven Fairies

A six-petaled flower without a lip. The lip petal is mutated and assimilated with the two column petals. A single scape often bears seven flowers. The flowers are large and rise above the leaves, beautiful in form and elegant in color. This flower is both a strange flower and a plain-colored flower. The drawback is that old leaves easily develop spots and scorched tips, and the leaf form is tall and large, so when there are no flowers and only leaves remain, it completely loses its fairy-like charm.

8. Xiaotaohong

The leaf color is relatively light, and the veins on the leaves are fairly clear. The flowering period is from May to October, and it can bloom in all four seasons. The flower color is mostly yellow-green or light red, with purple-red and also faint green showing through in the middle. Some flowers have creamy yellow or red-purple spots. Xiaotaohong has glossy, lustrous leaf color. It can be called gorgeous without being overly seductive, appealing to both refined and popular tastes, and should not be disparaged for its blushed center.

9. Tiegusu

A plain-centered variety among Cymbidium ensifolium with a long history and excellent quality. The leaves are obliquely upright, dark green, and as hard as iron in texture. The leaf surface is fine and smooth, the leaves are relatively narrow, and the leaf grooves are deep. The flowers are plain white without spots and very fragrant. Tiegusu is inexpensive and excellent in quality, and is deeply loved by people.

10. Jinsi Mawei

"Jin" (gold) refers to the golden-yellow color of the leaf variegation; "si" (silk) refers to the variegation being fine and clear; "mawei" (horse tail) is a metaphor for the shape of this variety's leaf variegation, which is as fine and bright, long and straight, and dense and plentiful as a horse's tail. It has very strong adaptability and can be grown in both the north and the south. The leaf texture is relatively thick, and the tips of the leaves are slightly curled.
