What are the traditional appreciation standards for orchids?
1. Petals: The three outer petals are broad and round or broad, with intact, unbroken petal tips, a tight base, tightly furled edges, and a thick, glutinous texture that does not droop. The column (nose) is small and the lip (tongue) is large, with the lip round or square in shape. The red spots inside the lip are neatly arranged and brightly colored. 2. Flower form: The main petal is centered and upright, and the side petals are symmetrical left and right with level shoulders. The two columns (pollen masses) tightly clasp the lip. The flower stance is firm and upright, and even after being open a long time the pollen masses do not separate...

2. Flower form: The main petal is centered and upright, and the side petals are symmetrical left and right with level shoulders. The two columns (pollen masses) tightly clasp the lip. The flower stance is firm and upright, and even after being open a long time the pollen masses do not separate and the shoulders do not droop. The flower structure is well-knit, with all petals in harmonious proportion and gracefully poised.
3. Flower color: The petals are a tender green, clean in color and free of red streaks. The petals may also carry other colors, such as golden yellow, purple-red, or rose red. There is a saying: "Yellow is noble, red is rare, plain is precious, green is supreme." The flower color is required to be pretty and dazzling.
4. Leaves: The leaf surface is smooth and glossy, with a sheen, and the leaf color is dark green. The leaf texture is moist and supple, soft yet firm.
5. Plant: Robust and free of disease. The flower scape rises above the leaf surface, the leaves are intact, elegant and spreading, full of charm, giving a complete, dignified and graceful sense of healthy beauty; sickly beauty is not sought.
6. Scent: Moderate in fragrance, quiet and elegantly refined.
