How much does a single plant of the traditional Cymbidium sinense variety Huaguang Die cost, and what are its characteristics?
The Cymbidium sinense Huaguang Die was formerly a flowering orchid, and it is still evolving, constantly evolving, becoming an orchid that excels in both flowers and foliage. If judged by the criteria of foliage artistry, Huaguang Die's variations and inherent qualities may not match those of other similar varieties, but it is still quite remarkable that it has been passed down continuously.
According to the records, Huaguang Die belongs to the Baosui orchid, discovered in spring 1971 on Mount Malabang in Miaoli, and it only bloomed its first flower 3 years later. The price is around 20 yuan to 60 yuan per plant.
A brief introduction to this strain: it has an intermediate leaf habit, thick leaf texture, and good gloss on the leaf surface. The flower color features a rod-shaped core on the main petal, with the two side petals half-lip-transformed, and fine small red dots on the lip petal. Because the main and side petals are set off against each other, they display a beautiful butterfly-shaped flower. Its foliage artistry includes: dark green cap with green-yellow center stripe, white and yellow center variegation stripes, white claw artistry, dark green cap with male base, crystal artistry and other artistry directions. This plant belongs to crown variegation.
Many historical Chinese orchids, including both flower and foliage varieties, have been preserved through highs and lows, and it must be called a "miracle." It is believed that even more orchids could never be seen before and quietly disappeared.
