In 1992 it was collected from the mountains in Qiaohou Town, Eryuan County, by Fu Guifa, a Lisu villager from Shangjing Village, and selected and bred by Mr. Li Wucan. It was once called "Da Fugui", "Fugui Su He" and other names.
In the spring of 2003, Mr. Ma Zhihong, CEO of Yunnan Orchid Network, went to Qiaohou Town, Eryuan County to learn about the orchid market. At Mr. Li Wucan's home he saw "Da Fugui" and decided to apply to the China Orchid Association; because Chunlan Da Fugui is a traditional famous variety that has been developed for over a hundred years and is known to every household, in order to avoid the suspicion of copying and duplicating the flower name, Ma Zhihong and Mr. Li Wucan discussed and decided to name this orchid "Fugui Su". In the spring of 2007, Mr. Ma submitted detailed materials to the China Orchid Association and applied for registration as No. 0267 Chinese Famous Orchid Variety.
