February 2009, sent to Zhejiang Province (Tonglu) Spring Orchid Expo exhibition, won the Silver Award. Gradually recognized and accepted by the people who love orchid.

The author has paid attention to this flower in these two orchid exhibitions. In memory, the grass is tall and erect, the leaf quality is not very delicate, and the feeling is thicker. The characteristics of grass type are obvious. All the openings seen at the second Orchid Exhibition are two flowers with one shot. Perhaps, this is also a characteristic of this flower. From the opening of the appearance, this petal end type is positive, the flower atmosphere. After opening the foot, the micro-roll is hung under the tongue, the color of the valve is dark, and the red rib pattern of the outer valve is obvious. It is a pity that the color is not clear and bright enough.
