Summary of existing traditional varieties of Cymbidium

In recent years, with the price of orchids falling all the way, many orchid lovers have begun to raise Huihua. However, when communicating with some orchid friends, I found that many people knew very little about the distinction between Green Christine and Red Christine in Cymbidium flowers, and some New Orchid Friends even made a joke and reversed them. For this reason, the author thinks that it is necessary to discuss the classification of cymbidium with orchid friends. The following is an introduction to the author's understanding of the cymbidium. If there is any inappropriateness, please point out that the cymbidium is traditionally called the cymbidium, but this name is inappropriate, because the orchid with more than one pole is collectively referred to as Huihui. Four-season orchid, cold orchid, orchid is also a kind of Hui; cymbidium is traditionally divided into green, red, green cymbidium species. There are 187 species of cymbidium recorded in ancient times. after the baptism of history, only 61 species remain (some books say 62), of which: 20 species of Green Christine, 30 species of Christine and 8 species of Cymbidium; in addition, Han Bimei is still inconclusive. Chixia is the double art of leaf and flower. Then there is Tuanzihe. In the autumn of 2003, a friend of mine in the south said: one of his orchid friends had this kind of thing, but he was unable to verify it for various reasons. However, it has been reported by magazines in recent years, which shows that this flower does exist. I hope people can leave more good orchid varieties to future generations.
