Introduction to the new Cymbidium ensifolium cultivar 'Soft Pocket Mei' (Yidianhong Mei)

Flower name: New Soft Pocket Mei (Yidianhong Mei), origin: Sichuan

Content: Having seen Pipi introduce the two new mei cultivars circulating online last year, I will introduce this group too; the source is the same (omitted here). Strictly speaking, soft pocket does not count as a mei, it is a narcissus type. Among these narcissus types, the pocket form is good and stable, and the outer petals have the root-gathering and corner-setting shape rarely seen in narcissus types, with the tip of the tongue bearing a cute small red dot. The bloom form has already shown several variations. It is the new mei of medium price with the best value for money I have seen online last year. I think this flower has a good future ahead, it has no name for now, and I call it 'Mei 22'. From mid-2006 it became popular in Sichuan under the name 'Yidianhong Mei'. This mei only blooms well with plenty of fertilizer.
