Variety Characteristics and Appreciation of Zhongshan Mei Jianlan
Flower name: Zhongshan Mei / Dongsheng Mei, Origin: Guangdong Content: This is a fine mei selected in Guangdong. It is said to have been selected by a flower vendor at the foot of Dongsheng Bridge in Zhongshan, hence the name. It counts as an old variety. Orchid enthusiasts had not paid attention to it before. This mei has a standard form, with a particularly beautiful root-gathering and corner-flaring shape. The tongue often curling backward is a flaw, and weak plants may bloom off-type. The price is firm and clean, at the mid-range mei price, yet strong plants can produce high-grade blooms. If you are a middling-level orchid enthusiast, you should try growing it, and see what kind of bloom your skill can produce.
