Introduction and Appreciation of the Red Narcissus Zhaozhi Jianlan Variety
Red Narcissus: a new variety selected and bred in Sichuan in recent years. Its floral quality is very close to that of Yipin Mei, with the flower form slightly smaller than Yipin Mei and the flower color red. It can be called the "red Yipin Mei." Unfortunately, a small-flowered form of Jin Mei was renamed Hong Yipin and promoted first, so the flower's owner, Mr. Zhao Shan, simply called it Red Narcissus (in fact it is a standard red-flowered long-stemmed plum-petal form). Later, Mr. Guo Weihong of Chengdu, drawing on the naming methods used in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region for spring and cymbidium orchids, called this variety "Zhaozhi."

Zhaozhi, also called Red Narcissus. It was discovered in Sichuan around 2000, and named by the orchid grower Zhao Shan. The leaves are medium in size, about 25-30 cm long and around 1.5 cm wide, with good leaf surface gloss, and the new shoots are bright red. The number of leaves is relatively large; strong plants basically have 4-5 leaves, and reproductive capacity is strong. The flowers bloom above the leaves, medium to large, about 3-4 cm. The three outer petals have a very forceful contracted base and flared tips, silkworm-moth petals, dragon-swallowing tongue, pinkish red flower base, and brilliant coloring.
