Shiyuan Mei: Cymbidium faberi, plum petal, a famous variety. History: Shiyuan Mei, also called "Red Plum," was initially named "Diyuan" and later renamed as the new variety Shiyuan. Characteristics: Leaves are emerald green, thick in texture, with a semi-pendant posture. The flower scape is slender and tall, rising above the leaf canopy; the pedicel is green with a slight purplish-red tinge; the three outer petals are short and round with tightly rolled edges, thick petal flesh, and pointed tips. The lateral sepals are level-shouldered, and the petals form a semi-hard hooded inward-curving center. In cold regions, the flower color undergoes a longer vernalization period, and the blooms tend toward red; in non-cold regions, the bloom color is less consistent, and the flower shape resembles "Guanding." The quantity circulating in the market is relatively small.
