What are the methods for identifying orchids? Teaching you how to identify orchids
Cymbidium sinense 'Jinbi Huihuang' is a yellow-flowered variety of Cymbidium sinense, relatively few in number, with flower spikes already tall, blooming as beautifully as its name suggests, worth collecting.
The traditional criteria for judging the quality of orchids mainly focus on six aspects: petals, flower appearance, flower color, leaves, plant, and fragrance.
From the petals: the three outer petals are broad and round or broad, with intact and unbroken petal tips, tightly contracted bases and edges, thick and glutinous in texture, not floppy. The column is small and the lip is large, with the lip round or square in shape. The red dots inside the lip are neatly arranged and brightly colored.
Flower appearance: the main petal is centered and upright, the side petals are symmetrical left and right, with level shoulders. The two pollinia tightly embrace the lip. The flower stem is firm and upright, and after blooming for a long time the pollinia do not separate and the shoulders do not droop. The flower shape is well-structured, with each petal in harmonious proportion, graceful and elegant.
Flower color: the petal color is tender green, pure in color without red streaks. The petals may also carry other colors, such as golden, purple-red, or rose-red, but the flower color is required to be pretty and dazzling.
Leaves: the leaf surface is smooth and glossy, with luster, and the leaf color is dark green. The leaf texture is moist, combining softness with firmness.
Plant: robust and disease-free. The flower scape rises above the leaf surface, the leaves are intact, elegant and spreading, full of charm, giving a complete, dignified, and beautiful sense of healthy beauty, not pursuing a sickly beauty.
Fragrance: moderate in aroma, quiet and elegant.
