The person who delivered the flowers replied: They have no name. The Commander-in-Chief said: Then let's call them Liuyang Su. From then on, the traditional famous Liuyang variety of Cymbidium ensifolium suxin had an official name. These two pots of orchids are still grown today in the Zhu De Orchid Garden in Beijing. The people of Liuyang carefully protect and cultivate Liuyang Su, allowing it to endure and flourish and to be famous far and near.
Liuyang Su: elegant and pure in charm, with large flowers and fragrant scent. After many years of cultivation, its flowering form is stable, and it is fully worthy of being called the elegant flower among suxin orchids.
