Characteristics and Appreciation of the Jianlan Orchid 'Ink Wash Painting'

This flower stands well above the leaves. When the plant is strong, the flower reaches 6 cm in diameter. The highlight is the very beautiful lip: the upper half is pink, the lower half snow white; as the flower stays open longer, the pink fades, and the lower half takes on a faint pale yellow base. Paired with the fresh green outer three sepals and the arching, drooping leaf posture, the whole is harmonious and consistent, as beautiful as our national treasure: ink wash painting! This plant blooms freely and has a long flowering period, making it truly a treasure among orchids! Green stalks, fragrant flowers, large blooms with great spirit, the outer three sepals pure and clean, the upper half of the lip red and the lower half white, a wonderful combination of red and white~~
