Does the Chunlan 'Lao Dai Mei' have fragrance, along with its photo characteristics and care methods

History: During the Daoguang period, it was selected by orchid traders in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Another account: during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, it was selected and bred by an orchid lover surnamed Wang in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Usually one scape bears two flowers, one above the other, like "two generations," hence the name "Dai Mei"; at present the orchid world generally calls it "Lao Dai Mei."

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, it was selected by orchid traders in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Another account: during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, it was selected and bred by an orchid lover surnamed Wang in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Usually one scape bears two flowers, one above the other, like "two generations," hence the name "Dai Mei"; it has a cultivation history of 150 years so far, and at present the orchid world generally calls it "Lao Dai Mei." New shoots are mercury red. Old leaves are arched, with blunt leaf tips and thick texture. The leaf color is emerald green with a yellowish tinge and glossy. Leaves are 25-32 cm long and 0.8 cm wide; the central leaf is narrow, only 0.4-0.5 cm, the leaf surface grooves are relatively shallow, and the leaf margin serrations are fine and dense, clearly visible under a magnifying glass. The leaf texture is thick, and the leaf shape is slanting and upright, with some semi-pendulous leaves, graceful in posture. New shoots are water red with purple silk lines, and the bud sheaths are green with a pink base color marked with red-purple vein striations. The flower buds are small and rounded, and the ovary bract is deep green. The flower scape is 10-12 cm tall. It often opens double-headed. The three outer petals have rounded tips and extremely fine bases; the two lateral sepals have long feet and form a "one-character shoulder." The main petal raises its head, full of spirit. The petals are semi-hard hooded silkworm-moth holds, and the front ends of the holds show a "white head." The lip is a small ruyi tongue, slightly exposed but not hanging down. Its charm is unique and distinctive; a single glance is enough to keep it from being confused with other famous varieties. It belongs to the slightly small flower form. Its commonly seen feature of changing in upper and lower form makes it a famous variety with variable heads, but a single-flower opening is also seen.

  Characteristics: the three outer petals have rounded tips and extremely fine bases; the two lateral sepals have long feet and form a "one-character shoulder." The main petal raises its head, full of spirit, with semi-hard hooded silkworm-moth holds, the front ends of the holds showing a "white head," and the lip is a small ruyi tongue with small red dots on the tongue, slightly exposed but not hanging down; the flower scape is 10-12 cm tall and often opens double-headed. With green stems and a small appearance, its charm is unique and distinctive; a single glance is enough to keep it from being confused with other famous varieties, and it belongs to the slightly small flower form. Its commonly seen feature of changing in upper and lower form makes it a famous variety with variable heads; however, in medium and small plants, a single-flower opening is also seen (double-headed flowering is its habit). New shoots are water red with purple silk lines, and the bud sheaths are green with a pink base color marked with red-purple vein striations. The flower buds are small and rounded, and the ovary bract is deep green. The leaf color is emerald green, tending yellow and glossy, thick in texture and arched, with blunt leaf tips and shallow veins. Leaves are 25-32 cm long and 0.8 cm wide; the central leaf is narrow, only 0.4-0.5 cm, the leaf surface grooves are relatively shallow, and the leaf margin serrations are fine and dense, clearly visible under a magnifying glass. The leaf shape is slanting and upright, with some semi-pendulous leaves, graceful in posture. Although this variety is crowned with the word "Lao" (old), it is currently spread very little within the country.
