There is a bubble in the market for rare and precious orchids, while the public favors Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi, yet sky-high prices rarely appear

Among all the major categories of orchids, I am rather partial to Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi, because they have the support of a complete cultural and theoretical framework and a vast community of enthusiasts. Even when people's lives were difficult and hard, there were still orchid growers who never abandoned them, allowing celebrated varieties to be passed down to this day. Beyond the qualities the orchids themselves possess, they also carry history, and there is a considerable number of varieties for enthusiasts at every level, including those with good financial means, to choose all kinds of rare and precious orchids.

That is to say, we have reasons to love them and can afford to love them, so many people love them -- the market is large. Likewise, because of their long history, rich variety, large quantities, and wide range of choices, there is the phenomenon of "good flowers not being expensive," and the market has the ability to regulate itself.

Therefore, even for high-grade newly discovered wild varieties, although many orchid lovers long for them, "sky-high prices" rarely appear. Even if a few do carry "sky-high prices," it is established large-scale orchid growers who purchase them for breeding, and newly discovered wild varieties are rarely passed from hand to hand for speculation. There is no bubble. A large market with no bubble and with the ability to regulate itself is, of course, ideal for investment. -- Of course, one must not forget the foundation, which is to love orchids and never abandon them.
