This product was registered by Mr. Li Yinglong on June 31, 2006.

This product is mainly planted in Xiaguan, Heqing, Yunlong, Kunming, Yuxi and other places in Dali, Yunnan Province, and introduced by orchid families in Sichuan, Guangdong and Taiwan.

An ancient town called Jiuzhou was discovered in Yunlong County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province in 2002. Yunlong County was built in the second year of Yuanfeng of Western Han Dynasty (109 BC), and the county government was set up. It was the political, economic and cultural center of Yunlong in 1738. Located in the Lancang River Gorge of Hengduan Mountains in western Yunnan, it is only one mountain away from Nujiang River, another big river in Yunnan Province. It was called "two mountains sandwiched by one river" in ancient times. The ups and downs of topography, the unique three-dimensional climate of Yunnan Province and the abundant underground mineral resources have created rich orchid resources. Many famous species of Yunnan orchids come from this place, such as pink lotus, green dragon, peach blossom butterfly, Hushan jade plum, Cangshan strange butterfly, etc. Therefore, it is known as "the hometown of famous lotus petals in China".

This flower was discovered by Ma Weilin of Lanjia in Jiuzhou in 2002, introduced by Peng Mushun of Lanjia in Yongping County of Dali in 2004, and named by insiders. Because of its high grade and pictographic, Cao Jianhua of Lanjia named it "Sweat Blood BMW." Some articles also called "Han blood BMW","Han" should be "Khan" error. "Sweat-blooded BMW" originally means a horse, produced in northern Eurasia, with good endurance and endurance, is a long-distance riding horse, but also jumping and dressage horse, known as "a thousand miles a day." Since the Han Dynasty, the myth of the Western Region's blood-red horse has been circulating. Legend has it that the blood flowing out of its neck is red; history called sweat blood horse, Dawan good horse, Tianma. It is said that in order to get it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conquer the Western Regions twice. Khan-blooded BMW is regarded as a national treasure by Turkmenistan people and has been given to other countries as a national gift many times. For example, when the President of Turkmenistan visited China, he presented a sweaty BMW to President Hu Jintao.

In the past two or three years, with the deepening of the understanding of the relationship between leaf butterfly and star butterfly, quite a number of orchid families realized that among the orchid varieties such as lotus petal orchid, Douban orchid, spring orchid, spring sword, four seasons orchid, many leaf butterflies can bloom star butterfly flowers (such as Taoyuan Sanjieyi, Yutu, Dafeng, Shengxiangdie, Liangzhu, etc.), adding appreciation points for them. For this reason, leaf butterfly has been sought after unprecedented, and the market is relatively optimistic. In addition, as the degree of commercialization of orchids becomes deeper and deeper, the transaction and flow of cross flowers become more and more frequent. If it is not in flowering, the authenticity of after-sales varieties is also a difficult problem for both sides of orchids transaction. For this reason, orchid varieties with leaf butterflies also have this "anti-counterfeiting trademark", which is conducive to the bold and assured transaction of this variety without flowering. Therefore, orchid varieties with leaf butterflies are favored in the market. Sweat-blooded BMW also takes advantage of this.

In 2007, this product was traded frequently, and the price fluctuated around RMB 100,000 per seedling. Before the beginning of 2008, it rose moderately, and each seedling was about RMB 80,000 - 180,000 (depending on the seedling situation and the situation with small buds). At the beginning of 2008, this product made a high-profile appearance at several influential orchid exhibitions in Yunnan (such as the special gold medal at Dali International Orchid Expo on February 19, China, and the second orchid exhibition in Spring City on January 26.

So far, the quantity of this product is about 1000 seedlings, which has been outside the seller's market in recent years. As a result of this Polish market adjustment, buyers were mostly cautious when introducing varieties-although they liked them, they did not overcharge them, so this variety did not have the crazy rise of one price per day as long as it was in the seller's market in the past few years.

Because of its good opening, strong stability, high seedling rate, easy identification, disease resistance and other advantages, and in recent years the price has been relatively gentle, it has been evaluated as the current "cost-effective" investment variety by some senior Lanjia in Dali.

A little episode, according to Ma Zhihong, Lu Xiaohua wrote: "In early March 2006,'Sweaty BMW' almost simultaneously in the hands of three different breeders opened the standard yellow three-star butterfly, let many people see his mysterious behind the real side, but also broke the 'Sweaty BMW is Douban orchid, not fragrant!' Rumors. at the end of march, the orchid exhibitions in various places basically ended, but they caught up with the orchid festival in vienna. after the awards were over, the "sweat-blooded bmw" still moved mr. pan kuang hua. he suggested that the organizing committee add a special gold medal, so as not to bury the really good flowers! he met bo le, who truly knew horses and loved them, and the "sweat-blooded horse" added a legend to the orchid world. A Miao Lao Cao, who won the special gold medal, was bought by Kunming Yilan's family at a high price of 470,000 before he could get a medal (medal to be made up), creating another legend!"
