Introduction to the Red Bee Qiao Cymbidium Variety and Key Appreciation Points
Petal type: Red-sheath red-flower plum petal. History: Selected in the late Qing Dynasty by Shao Zhiyan of Hangzhou. Characteristics: The three petals have round heads and long feet, and the petal flesh is thick. The tips of the holding petals have thick pouches and turn upward like cat-ear holding petals, divided into sections, small like a tongue. It is a rare variety among red cymbidiums.
