This variety has 6 to 7 leaves per plant, leaf width 0.6cm, leaf length about 26cm, leaf texture thick and glutinous with luster, the vein ridges are distinct, the leaf texture is elastic, and the overall plant form is harmonious and elegant. It flowers vigorously and sprouts easily; grown naturally, the sprouting rate can reach over 100%. From July to November, the flower spikes emerge, and the flowering period runs from early December to the end of March of the following year, lasting more than 4 months, which is mainly related to the ambient temperature. The flower quality of early and late blooms differs little; of course, the blooms from February to March are fuller and more substantial. The petals are extremely thick and substantial, with a narrow base and broad, angled tips, the center of the flower is full and rounded, the outer petals have obvious tight edges, and the length-to-width ratio of the outer petals is within 1:3. The lip is a large round lip, with extremely faint halos on both sides of the lip base. The overall flower color is white with a most textured emerald green showing through, and the flower holds exceptionally well, with a flowering period of more than one month. It is a rare lotus-shaped Cymbidium lianpan su. The leaf posture matches the flower posture, harmonious and elegant, and since it was discovered by Xiu Hong, it was named "Xiuhuosu," which is truly well deserved!

Cymbidium lianpan su with a certain petal form are not too many and should be considered precious. This Cymbidium lianpan su was discovered during the domestication and cultivation of wild-collected plants, blooms every year, and has stable traits. It was applied for by Feng Shisan and registered by the China Orchid Association as an established orchid horticultural variety. This product has strong adaptability, is easy to plant and easy to grow, has a high sprouting rate, flowers easily, and has a mellow, pure fragrance. The plant type is medium-short, the leaf texture is glutinous and elastic, and the leaf shape and plant form are exquisite and elegant. The flowering period is around the Spring Festival, with 2-4 flowers per stem; the flower stem is tall and upright, rising well above the leaves. The whole flower is white with a faint trace of light green and light yellow, related to the light during the flowering period. The petals are thick and substantial, with tight edges, a narrow base and broad, angled tips, and the flower holds well, with no petal reversal until the flower fades. In terms of flowering-period management, leaning dry or leaning wet has no obvious effect on flower quality. When the flower first opens, there are extremely faint halos on the edges of the cheeks. If you prefer the whole flower to be whiter, bagging the bud for a period of time will produce an obvious effect.
