Orchids 0 views
The flowering period of Jiepei Mei is generally in March and April. Each scape bears six to ten flowers. The flower stalk is purplish red, with the outer ring being the sepals and the inner ring being the petals. The petals are white jade held at the heart, praised as "red hairpin and green jade." The form in which the sepals on both sides extend to the sides is called the "shoulder"; sepals that are left-right symmetrical with a flat "shoulder" are considered authentic; if they slant upward to both sides like bird wings, it is called a flying "shoulder" and is considered divine grade; if they slant downward to both sides, it is called a dropping "shoulder" and is considered inferior grade. The lip below the inner ring of petals is commonly known as the tongue; the tongue is round, short and large, not elongated or curled back, and the ru yi tongue is considered the best.
