Characteristics and Appreciation of the Cymbidium sinense Variety 'Taibai Yifeng'
A native Chinese Cymbidium sinense (Chinese orchid) variety with upright leaves; the sturdier the plant, the more pronounced the upright leaf habit. It has few serrations, which are not sharp, and the first leaf has a reverse arch. Its three-dimensional variegation pattern combines ivory-colored tiger stripes with dark green meteorite-shaped patches; at the junctions where the two types of patches meet there is a slight crystalline quality, and the dark green meteorite-shaped patches protrude slightly. The variegation color extends into the crown, and the variegation color carries through to the flowers.
