Introduction to the Characteristics of the Nanguo Mudan Lotus-Petal Orchid Variety

    Nanguo Mudan, a fine-leaf lotus-petal orchid, medium-wide leaf type, leaves slanting upright, soft yet firm, medium-thick leaf texture, the lower part of the leaf is fairly tightly constricted at the base, the upper part is flat. Leaf length 40-50cm, leaf width 0.5-1cm, 5-8 leaves per plant, flower scape height 30-40cm. At first glance it has the characteristics of a plain-color flower, and the leaf buds are fair and rounded when they emerge. The roots are medium-thick and round, with typical lotus-petal orchid characteristics.

    This flower is a typical multi-petal wonder flower of the lotus-petal orchid, with a peony-petal shape. What is peculiar is that although the flower is delicately beautiful and alluring in color, no obvious characteristics can be seen from the plant itself. If one only looks at the orchid plant, one would generally judge that it blooms a plain-color flower, but ever since it first bloomed it has remarkably shown petalization and milkiness, with red and white clearly distinct and an elegant form, truly rare among lotus-petal orchids. Together with the contrast against its own emerald-green leaves, the overall image is simply breathtakingly beautiful. And because the petals resemble a peony, it has the wonderful beauty of surpassing a peony without being one. Moreover, each scape bears 2-4 flowers with a unique form, so it will become a rare gem among peony-petal forms of the lotus-petal orchid..
