The culture of sword orchid
As early as the early 17th century, when the sword orchid was still wild in the Cape of good Hope in Africa, only some flower-loving aristocratic ladies appreciated it and sent people back to the garden for cultivation at home. In 1807, William Herbert, an English missionary, crossed 11 species of wild sword orchids in the Episcopal garden and bred three new varieties with beautiful flowers. Subsequently, it gradually spread to Europe and the United States. Known as the "Kingdom of Flowers," the Netherlands, florists give priority to the sword orchid to the market, its total output is second only to the national flower tulips.
Because the sword orchid has charming power, many westerners regard it as a symbol of joy, celebration and harmony, and it is necessary for fireworks offered at weddings, banquets or celebrity visits. In particular, many families in the United States have to decorate it every day. In 1984, when US President Ronald Reagan concluded his visit to China and held a thank-you banquet, the United States specially airlifted more than 1100 fresh sword orchids from Hong Kong and Guangzhou to Beijing in order to enhance the warm atmosphere of the banquet.
China is the forerunner of the oriental flower arrangement school. As early as 1599, the History of the bottle written by Yuan Hongdao in the Ming Dynasty has clearly discussed the artistic beauty of flower arrangement: "flower arrangement should not be too complicated, nor should it be too thin (that is, sparse). There are no more than two or three kinds, high and low, such as the exquisite layout of the painting garden." At that time, sword orchid had not yet come out, but his statement was also very suitable for sword orchid flower arrangement. According to Chinese and foreign flower arrangers, sword orchids, whether straight, oblique, long or short, will show extraordinary charm and can be sublimated calmly from natural beauty to artistic beauty, so some experts praise it as an "omnipotent champion" in the field of flower arrangement.
