Aromas of spring orchids everywhere

There are indeed some small differences among the varieties of Chunlan. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chunlan generally have tender petals and more bracts with purple tendons; Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and Anhui Chunlan are the same, mainly with darker petals and more white ones; there are two kinds of Chunlan in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. one kind of petal is thinner, the bract coat is thinner, and the other kind of petal thickness is called Douban. Among these four types of Cymbidium, the thin-petaled Cymbidium of Yunguichuan is the most fragrant and mellow, followed by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chunlan; the obvious fragrance of Anhui Chunlan and Hubei Chunlan in Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and Anhui are Anhui Chunlan and Hubei Chunlan in the south. The fragrance is not much different from that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chunlan, but generally speaking, the fragrance is a little lighter than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chunlan. Whether the orchid in Anhui and Hubei is fragrant or not is also related to the air temperature and the moisture in the flowering stage. The temperature in the flowering stage is lower, which is not conducive to the volatilization of the aroma oil, which is not entirely the problem of the orchid itself. Douban Cymbidium is generally not fragrant. Chunlan in the southwest of Hubei, that is, Enshi, is of the same strain as Yunguichuan, which is very mellow. This also reflects the complexity of Hubei's geography and the diversity of orchids.
