After being discovered, it was kept and passed around among only a few orchid enthusiasts, and in over ten years it bloomed again only once. In 2016, Peach Blossom Fairy finally bloomed normally again, and 16 years of waiting finally came true!

The greatest feature of this flower lies in its center, with soft petals and a large ruyi tongue (somewhat close to a square tongue), the red block on the tongue is neat, the outer petals have a gentle flutter, and they harmonize with the center, making it very pleasing to look at, and it quite has the charm of an old Fengqiao when it first opens.
