In 2002, Anhui Shucheng orchid collector Wang Linghai dug up a clump of orchid plants in Xiaotian Mountain, of which 7 were relatively intact, bearing a few flowers. A few days later he brought them to the Hefei Yufeng Flower Market and sold them to Tiantang Zhilanfang for 2100 yuan. It rebloomed at the 2nd Hefei Orchid Exhibition in 2007; it rebloomed again in 2010; in 2011 it bloomed and was entered in the 7th Anhui Provincial Orchid Expo, where it won a gold award. The leaf form is tall and slender, semi-arching, often with a graceful twisting feel above the middle, lithe and swaying. The leaf texture is relatively thin. The flower stem is tall and stands above the leaves; the main petal caps the head, the side petals have level shoulders and embrace inward, the column is tightly clasped, with a large ruyi tongue, slightly hanging down, marked with a bright and eye-catching "1"-shaped red spot, which reads with a distinct feeling of "a touch of vermilion lips, peach blossoms richly red, evening makeup delicate and shy, hair bun askew." The whole flower gives one a sense of "purity": the flower color is verdant as if about to drip, the flower posture is delicate and endearing; graceful and slender, quietly charming, elegant and transcendent, gentle and lovely, with a kind of beauty that makes one's heart ache.
