Characteristics: leaves grow upright, never bending or drooping, the left and right halves of each leaf often overlap and grow together, shaped like a sharp green sword! The sword tip points to the sky, giving viewers a sense of vigorous grandeur! Local orchid growers call this type of overlapping upright leaf "Zhenglong", after years of selection and breeding, among plain-colored flowers there is only this one variety! Now that wild-collected resources are exhausted, looking across all four-season plain-colored flowers, this leaf-shaped plain-heart variety among native species may be unsurpassable!
The flowers are rather slender with a strong bony structure, but the flowers are large, truly large among four-season orchids; the smallest flower in this group is 4.5 cm, the largest 5 cm. The bony strength is especially excellent, maintaining its shape from opening to fading!
Drawbacks: low germination rate, average flowering rate! On close inspection, there is sometimes a slight peach-colored blush at the base of the flower lip and below the column, so it is not purely plain-colored!
