Introduction to the Variety Characteristics of the Yinghe Su Lotus-Petal Orchid

This plant is a wild-collected orchid from Yingjing County. When it blooms well, it is a lotus-type flower. When it blooms poorly, it is an ordinary plain flower. The flower color is especially good, and people in Ya'an all know the characteristics of this flower. It originates from Yinghe Township, Yingjing County, Ya'an, Sichuan. This flower should be a natural hybrid line between Cymbidium tortisepalum (lotus-petal orchid) and Cymbidium goeringii (spring orchid). The plant has no water nodes and looks like a lotus-petal orchid. The flower opens pure and flawless white. Most of the time it produces double flowers, and occasionally single flowers appear.
