A pure-colored flower discovered in the Shuhai forest area of Nanjing County, Fujian. It has an obliquely upright leaf growth habit, with the three outer petals snow white. The petals have a thick, glutinous texture, and the flower holds well -- after fully opening, the column does not open a window and the petals do not curl back. The throat is a moist yellow, looking as if it were frozen in ice, hence the name 'Baixue Bingxin'. The leaf material is quite similar to the Tiegusu series, and the leaf tips also have the three-sided thorn characteristic. Even without flowers, it is easy to identify! The leaves are fine, the leaf material is semi-upright, and the leaf bases are as fine as toothpicks; the fine leaves have the feel of Tiegusu. Leaf width is 1 cm, and to date the widest leaf has not exceeded 1.2 cm, with the longest reaching about 35 cm. The flowers bloom above the leaves. As of this year, a single growth has never produced two scapes. The flowering time is normally in autumn! This flower is a rare treasure among pure-hearted flowers!The original owner mentioned in the introduction that this variety's three outer petals are snow white, and the throat is a moist yellow, looking as if it were frozen in ice, hence the name 'Baixue Bingxin'. In fact, Baixue Bingxin is a color-changing flower; the buds are initially cream yellow and gradually turn to milky white. The leaf material is quite similar to the Tiegusu series, and the leaf tips also have the three-sided thorn characteristic.
