Variety Characteristics and Appreciation Points of Tiger Stamen Cymbidium goeringii
Tiger Stamen: the three outer petals are narrow and long, the cat-ear petals do not curl back, just right; the petals have a white base with rose-colored patches in the middle, very symmetrical and vivid, creating a strong visual impact. The flower stalk rises above the leaves, often with two flowers per scape, large flower shape, a rare variety among stamen butterflies.

Tiger Stamen: the three outer petals are narrow and long, the cat-ear petals do not curl back, just right; the petals have a white base with rose-colored patches in the middle, very symmetrical and vivid, creating a strong visual impact. The flower stalk rises above the leaves, often with two flowers per scape, large flower shape, a rare variety among stamen butterflies. Leaf habit is obliquely drooping, leaf groove deep, leaf width medium, about 0.8 cm wide, leaf margin serrations coarse, leaf texture thick and moist with luster. Mercury-red flower buds, ovary bracts with red sandy clouds. Flower stalk silver-red. Central leaves often produce leaf butterflies. The distinctive feature of this flower lies in: the two petals are completely butterfly-transformed - the petal periphery is bordered with broad white edges, and the middle of the petals is decorated with large rose-colored red patches, resembling a pair of tiger ears; the fragrant column emitting delicate fragrance is like a tiger's nose, and the white curled lip is decorated with a "U"-shaped red patch, exactly like a tongue extending from a tiger's mouth, hence named "Tiger Stamen". The leaf shape of Tiger Stamen is loose, which is somewhat regrettable. Tiger Stamen blooms very easily!
