'Bai Song Su', also known as 'Song He Su'. An old famous cultivar from before the War of Resistance, the earliest record of it appears in "Orchid Spectrum"; it returned to China in 1995, though it cannot be ruled out that domestic orchid growers had it in circulation. Yixiang Ju received one plant as a gift from a friend, and when it bloomed, they still did not know what it was, which always weighed on their mind. Now it has finally been properly identified, and I am very happy! When I asked last time, everyone gave two answers: 'Yue Pei Su' and 'Lu Zhu Su'.

'Yue Pei Su' cannot be it; even though some orchid friends stubbornly insist it is, the leaf shape is very different. 'Lu Zhu Su', also known as 'Yun He Su', has been in circulation domestically; its plant form resembles a somewhat larger 'Lü Yun', and I also have this flower. There are photos showing that what I say is not false. Below are records of 'Song He Su' ('Bai Song Su') shown in some old materials: "Bai Song Su" first appears in "Lan Hua Pu", with a simple description: "This cultivar is a pure solid-colored flower with round, large blooms." No image. This book has one image of "Song He Su", but no description. "Shaoxing Orchid Culture" describes "Bai Song Su" as follows: "The three outer sepals have long feet, narrow at the base and broad at the tip, with green veins on the sepals; the column is tight, and the lip is white and rolled."
