The leaf shape is elegant, with leaves about 0.6-0.8cm wide and about 25-45cm long, 5-8 leaves per plant. The leaf texture is hard and thick, the leaf groove is deep, the leaf tip is gradually pointed, the leaf margin serration is obvious, and the leaf color is dark green. Most of the emerging shoots are turned-root shoots, and the small shoots that break through the soil are white-green with a slight pale sand-gray tint. Each scape bears 2-5 flowers, each one uniform. The flower type is the typical lotus-petal flower among Cymbidium tortisepalum, with the three outer petals narrowing at the base, round and broad with tightly rolled edges, and the tips forming a hood; the texture is heavy and substantial, the two inner petals clasp tightly, the tongue is a dragon-swallowing tongue, the center is full and round, and the flower color is pink. The overall flower shape is dignified and graceful, noble and luxurious, with a clear, delicate, and floating fragrance, highly ornamental, and with stable traits.

Appreciation of Fenhe; observing its leaf buds, the small shoots that break through the soil are plain white-green, and compared with other varieties, Fenhe is prone to producing turned-root shoots. After 3-6 months they grow into mature plants. The leaf groove opening is especially deep, the leaf tip is gradually pointed, and the leaf cross-section is V-shaped or U-shaped. On the front of the leaf along the main vein, from the leaf tip to the base, it gradually changes from a V shape to a U shape. The leaf edges and leaf surface will not lie flat or curl backward. The leaf color is dark green, the leaf texture is thick and hard, and the leaf posture is slanting-upright and slightly drooping. Under conventional orchid-house cultivation, the leaf length is about 20CM-30CM, and the leaf thickness and hardness are the greatest among Cymbidium tortisepalum. When touched by hand, it has a cutinized rough feel, and when bent it feels elastic.
