A 2007 native wild-collected plant from Hubei, a Huilan (Cymbidium faberi) with ox-horn petals, multiple tongues and butterfly-form odd flowers, naturally cultivated in a courtyard; it has rebloomed 3 times plus one bloom when first collected from the wild, and now it is sending up flower buds again. This flower's form is stable and it never blooms off-type, a rare and stable odd flower. Only 18 plants survive in the world. It once won the Special Gold Award at the Macao, China Cross-Strait Four-Regions Orchid Expo and the Special Gold Award at the 19th China Wenjiang Orchid Expo, a double Special Gold Award winner. Characteristics of the plant: thick, hard foliage that rustles when stroked by hand, excellent leaf shape, strong stress resistance, and low susceptibility to disease. Characteristics of the flower: multiple tongues with butterfly-form outer petals; in typical blooms each flower has 3-5 tongues with butterfly form, and at its best it can reach 6-8 tongues with butterfly form; the column (nose) is highly stable in its variation; the outer petals are ox-horn shaped, magnificently imposing, each flower facing upward, like a flying dragon soaring into the sky, extremely eye-catching and full of domineering presence.
