These two orchids look bizarre, one like it has been poisoned and the other like it is drunk.

Anyone who has grown orchids knows that there are countless varieties of orchids. Even if you have grown orchids for many years, there are always some orchids you have never seen.

Orchids are noble and elegant, deeply loved by scholars and writers, and rank among China's top ten famous flowers. Many friends very much like to keep a pot of orchids at home. The orchid in the picture is Cymbidium ensifolium 'Chicheng'. Doesn't it look very much like the blackened feeling after being poisoned?

Chicheng: also known as Emei Chenguang, the finest red-pigmented flower of the four-season orchid (Cymbidium ensifolium). Produced in Mount Emei, Sichuan, with a relatively small plant type and relatively thin leaves.

The leaves of Cymbidium ensifolium 'Guohun' are uneven on the surface, with obvious vein patterns, thick and glutinous leaf texture, and a strong waxy feel. The leaf base tapers narrowly, the front section of the leaf is relatively upright, and from the middle it suddenly begins to curve outward, with the leaf tip often showing the "dragon raising its head" phenomenon. It blooms brilliant red flowers, and the flower lip and the area around the center of the flower are both very red. Compared with Cymbidium ensifolium 'Chicheng', it seems not to be poisoned as badly, and its color is not as deep as the latter's.

Cymbidium ensifolium 'Guohun' looks more like it is drunk, and it is very beautiful.
