Baiyuhe: a green-and-white flower of the Four Seasons Orchid, its stem color and stalk color are also jade-green, extremely elegant and pure in color. The flower color is understated and plain, the whole plant warm and lustrous, naturally tinted, with petals that have a strong translucent quality, as if adorned with jasper. And its beauty lies further in petals shaped like lotus petals and a plain-centered lip, with the flower opening in an embracing form, very well-proportioned. The outer petals have the beauty of "rounded harmony," the inner petals the grace of "restraint." It is a Four Seasons Orchid masterpiece combining petal form, color, fragrance and mood in one. Viewing it frees one from worldly dust and vulgarity. If the flower is admired under the moon, there is the beautiful realm of "holding the pure harmony of heaven and earth, embodying the gentle fragrance of virtue." It can elevate one's refined sentiment.
White Peony (also known as Baiyuhe).
Broad leaves, mostly drooping; after the flower opens, it curls and drifts back 1 day later; a Taiwan, China variety. In fact, Baiyuhe is a special plain-centered type; the flower is not bad, and when well opened it is no inferior to Datang Gongfen, with a fragrance richer than other plain-centered types, but its unsightly broad leaves with a dehydrated look are its flaw.
