Characteristics of the Red Pagoda Chrysanthemum Cymbidium Variety and Key Cultivation Points
A new named variety of Cymbidium lianpan (Lianban orchid) --- Red Pagoda Chrysanthemum; this flower was selected and named by orchid enthusiasts of "Sanyou Orchid Garden" in Yuxi City from wild-collected seedlings, and our garden has collected, cultivated and developed it. This orchid is the Yunnan Weixi fine-leaf type (Songmao Lianban orchid). (Speaking of Songmao Lianban, it is also one of the most distinctive varieties of Lianban; because of its fine leaves, large flowers and small plant, it is famous in orchid circles. What everyone may know is Songmao Lianban Su, whose small plant and large flowers have long been cherished by Yunnan orchid growers.) --- A double-tiered chrysanthemum-petaled flower. The plant is small and graceful, delicate and elegant; grown in a small pot at home and placed on a desk, it saves space, looks lush and green, and makes one feel refreshed. The leaves of this plant are generally more than 30 cm long. Of course, it is believed that among the classic desk decoration flowers of the future, a leaf length of more than 30 cm will be the best aesthetic leaf length. The leaves are very fine, with deep grooves, and slightly hard. There are not many of this plant in existence, and it is hard to find on the market. This plant has a high flowering capacity and strong vitality; the flowers rise above the leaves, blooming above the foliage, clustered together in bloom. The plant is unusually beautiful and short, with leaves arranged in a staggered, orderly way, showing a moderate sense of movement and stillness, so it does not feel messy or stiff. An elegant plant form paired with double-tiered chrysanthemum-petaled flowers above the leaves is indescribably beautiful. Lianban orchids have small plants and large flowers; sometimes a single stem has more than 40 petals, blooming in a cluster, and flowering is exceptionally stable. This is a flowering standard that no twin chrysanthemum-petaled flower today can achieve. Jinsha is a tree-type chrysanthemum, while this flower is a double-tiered chrysanthemum, and its plant is delicate, small and lovely. Among chrysanthemum-petaled flowers, it is truly the one sought after a thousand times among the crowd! After several years of reblooming, it has never produced a normal flower, making it truly a rare and treasured exceptional chrysanthemum-petaled collectible!! Such a delicate little plant is the top choice as an elegant ornamental piece for home decoration that advocates refined living elements.
