Special Gold Award at the Yongjia Orchid Exhibition. This plant is a claw-art claw-flower variety; the leaves display snow-white claw markings, and the white picotee edge of the flower is already clear and striking on its own.

The entire flower spike is airy and elegant, neatly arranged, and carries a distinctly regal air. The leaf posture shows effortless grace as it sways gently, and the pairing of flower and foliage is equally remarkable.
