Flower form: outer butterfly type; the three outer sepals are short and broad, with tightly held petals and a large round lip; the main petal and the petals have red radiating lines, and the color is emerald green. The tips of the lateral sepals curl backward, with the upper part emerald green and the lower part lip-like, and a broad red line in the middle, forming distinctly colored green, red, and white, which is why it is also called three-colored butterfly. The column is slightly yellow, and the flower scape is tall.
