This is an orchid a friend gave me in 2008 (a Cymbidium ensifolium 'Tiegu Yinzhen', also known as Tianxiang Su), and it was also my first encounter with orchids. It arrived with flower buds, and I didn't pay much attention at the time. One night I happened to catch a captivating fragrance, so I went looking for it, and it turned out this orchid had bloomed, but up close the scent was very faint. This fragrance that comes and goes is called subtle fragrance, and orchid fragrance is known as the fragrance of kings! Because this Tiegu Su was a greenhouse plant, and since it was my first time growing orchids, all the shoots it produced the first year rotted, and the shoots that came the second year all stalled. In short, it took seven years tomake herbloom again,the flowers openedon Qixi day. I don't know whether it was coincidence or fate. Thank goodness for you, thank goodness you were there!

Ode to Tiegu
In the deep mountains there is grass, and the many flowers are verdant
When the flower opens, its subtle grace especially shows the huilan
Speechless is the secluded orchid, the plain Tiegu
Why keep thinking of the beauty who will never return
