Caitiaohe Cymbidium ensifolium: A Detailed Guide to Variety Characteristics and Care Methods
Origin: Sichuan/Emei Content: This flower was selected and bred by Mr. Cao Qiqing of Emei (please correct me if there is any mistake). Later I introduced it through Mr. Ni Bing. It looks somewhat similar in appearance to the yellow-flowered lotus type introduced by Brother Pi on page 11. The outer petals of these two lines are a major feature: one line is golden yellow, and the other has striped colorful markings (hence the name Caitiaohe, "Colorful-Striped Lotus"). Both are rare floral varieties. This flower, like Huanghe, is very lazy about producing shoots.

This flower won the bronze award at this year's Emei Orchid Show. Congratulations, Mr. Cao.
