Myth: In 2001, Chen Jiang selected it from a grower in Xinchang; it was a small seedling with 3 shoots and dragon roots dug from Zhoushan. The leaves are firm and slanting upright, with slight snowflake crystal markings, and the leaf texture is thick, glutinous and glossy. It first bloomed in 2007, and bloomed again in 2008. After two bloomings, the flower form was upright and stable, and in both years it won favorable reviews from orchid enthusiasts. The flower is delicately fragrant, with short round petals, and the large round lip has a U-shaped red patch that is large and vivid. The overall flower shape is harmonious. The flower scape reaches up to 15 cm high, with a jade-green color; even after being open a long time it does not change form and opens in an arching embrace. Among lotus-type flowers, it is extremely rare in that its shoulders stay level and do not droop after being open a long time; after 15 days of blooming, neither form nor color changes. It is a rare top-grade lotus-petal variety with dual excellence in both leaf and flower.

Myth is a Zhejiang grass. It came down from the mountains in 2001, at that time a small seedling with 3 shoots and dragon roots. After 6 years of cultivation it bloomed for the first time. It first appeared at the Zhuji Orchid Exhibition in 2007, causing a sensation in the orchid market, and was sold at a price of 450,000 yuan for 3 shoots. Later, because there were few shoots and the flower was good, its value was preserved, so the price of Myth has remained high among petal-type flowers, and every year it is still the first choice for many petal-type flower enthusiasts to introduce and cultivate. The greatest advantage of Myth is not her jade-green flower color, nor her rounded center, nor her tall flower stalk, nor the crystal markings on the leaves, nor the harmony between flower and leaf. It is because the flower of Myth is wonderful in that the longer it opens, the better it becomes, and it can remain unchanged in form and color until the very end. It can truly be called a divine variety among orchids.
