Guanshen, origin: Xiange Township, Dujiangyan City, collected from the wild in 1995, purchased by Mr. Mo Daixiang, a famous orchid grower in Dujiangyan City, carefully cultivated and flowered, named by Professor Wei, won the Special Gold Award at the 7th Orchid Expo in 1997, and later won Gold Awards at the 12th, 15th and other expos, this variety produces 2-3 flowers per scape, with the flower stem rising above the leaves. This flower is a red multicolored plum-petal type, with large flowers and vivid colors, a riot of colorful hues, bright and eye-catching, loved by all who see it, and has become a highly representative famous variety of Sichuan.

A Cymbidium goeringii from Sichuan, selected in the early days by Mr. Mo Daixiang, an orchid grower from Dujiangyan, Sichuan. The leaves are medium-wide, drooping and ring-shaped, the shoots are water-red, and the flower is a multicolored peach-shaped narcissus type. The flower color is changeable, mostly multicolored, and it is also said that pure-colored ones have appeared. A relatively famous one is called "Red Crown" (said to be a variant separated from Guanshen by Mr. Mo Daixiang). The flowers can rise above the leaves, mostly double flowers, with a strong fragrance. When first opened, the shape is rather attractive; after a long time the petals elongate, but overall the flower form remains unchanged. In different environments, it may produce different flower shapes, and a sudden change in environmental temperature will also produce different blooms.
