Cymbidium faberi white plain: an orchid as elegant and noble as Yangchun Baixue
A color-leaved, color-flowered Cymbidium faberi. The new shoots are goose-yellow with transparent midribs. At the small bud stage, the golden-yellow buds have green bird-beak tips; after the large bud stage, the green bird-beak tips fade away, and once the flowers open they turn white, almost pure white, with a faint peach blush on the lip that adds even more charm. Large flower type, rising well above the foliage. Blooming in late spring, the flowers are white as snow. Even compared with similar color-flowered varieties among the Cymbidium ensifolium and Cymbidium sinense species that readily produce colored flowers...

At the small bud stage, the golden-yellow buds have green bird-beak tips; after the large bud stage, the green bird-beak tips fade away, and once the flowers open they turn white, almost pure white, with a faint peach blush on the lip that adds even more charm. Large flower type, rising well above the foliage. Blooming in late spring, the flowers are white as snow. Even compared with similar color-flowered varieties among the Cymbidium ensifolium and Cymbidium sinense species that readily produce colored flowers, it is by no means inferior. It is truly a rare color-flowered variety of Cymbidium faberi, hence the name Yangchun Baixue.
From the small bud stage to the large bud stage, the green bird-beak tips gradually fade
After the flowers open they turn white, becoming whiter as they bloom. During the small bud stage the plant was repotted and divided, which affected the flower quality. To reduce nutrient consumption, two days after all the flowers opened only one was left blooming, so the buds had not yet reached their full stage. Even so, the flower spike had already reached more than 50 cm.
