Introduction to the Cymbidium ensifolium 'Xiao Tian Long' Variety and Key Care Points
Origin: Bred in Taiwan, China. Content: Last year I bought a group of "Xiashan Shuixian" from an orchid enthusiast in Sichuan. It was cheap, and I thought it was quite good. When I bought it, it came with a photo of a strangely blooming flower. I bought it and set it aside, giving it the number New Variety Mei 43. It just bloomed, and looking at it, isn't this Tian Long's little brother? How did he come here to pass himself off as a new variety! Tian Long told me that last year he and Green "Sister" were made up by unscrupulous merchants and taken around to be sold as new varieties! How pitiful. The story is finished. Let me introduce Xiao Tian Long to you. It is a rare dragon-type Shuixian Mei, an old variety. There is a similar variety with colored petals called Long Zhi Mei (to be introduced next). Xiao Tian Long is easy to grow, with a high sprouting rate. The petals are hard and the tongue is pointed, sticking out. Personally, I think it is not very attractive, but it has an imposing name called "Dragon Swallowing Tongue." The petal shape is a typical floating immortal style. The market price of this flower is low (if you were not deceived), making it a good choice for beginners.
