When the orchid is not blooming, it is as low-key as a weed. After flowering, it is like the metamorphosis of an ugly duckling. It is famous for its four characteristics of "color, fragrance, appearance and rhyme", mainly produced in the south of China, as well as some countries in South Asia, and also scattered in South Korea and Japan. It has been the most popular flower variety for thousands of years. Its fragrance can be called "ancestral fragrance", more fragrant than gardenia and osmanthus, and orchid is also synonymous with "elegant". Whether the home decoration is luxurious or simple, as long as there are orchids in the room, it can be called an "elegant home", and it will look very classy at home.
Today I would like to introduce you to one of the most classic varieties of orchids. It took less than 2 years to go from being a weed to attracting attention. It is also an award-winning orchid that has won both fame and fortune. All orchid friends are proud to own a pot. It is the famous watercress orchid best - Red River Red. As the name suggests, it originated in the Honghe region of Yunnan. Yunnan is famous for its classic orchids and is known as the "Orchid Museum". According to incomplete statistics, it has won 27 awards, becoming the most awarded orchid species.
The color of Red River Red is incomparable, redder than the national flag. This color is very much in line with the aesthetics of our people, because red itself is the embodiment of joy and auspiciousness. The most amazing thing is that its flowers are emerald green when they first bloom, unexpectedly, right? Over time, it slowly turns goose yellow, and only in the last 20 days of flowering does it turn bright red or purple, and the color-changing flower itself is relatively rare, and the change from emerald green to bright red is even rarer. Among the tens of thousands of orchids, it can be said that this is the only one of them, which has extremely high ornamental value.
Many orchid friends wonder that their Red River saffron is not the right color. In fact, this is the wonder of it, which makes people marvel at the magic of nature. Not only are the flowers beautiful, but the shape of the flowers is also the lotus petal shape with the highest ornamental value. The overall shape of this flower is elegant and atmospheric. Its grass shape is extremely slender, green, shiny, as tall as the girl next door, and it looks elegant even without flowers. It is more than just an orchid, it is more like a living work of art, more valuable than jade, calligraphy and painting.
The flower stems of Red River Red are very tall, so it feels like it will stand out after flowering, and the probability of double flowers is high. Flowers appear so intimate when they snuggle up to each other. Most importantly, it is influenced by the special geographical environment of Yunnan. There is no need for cumbersome low-temperature vernalization to produce the most perfect appearance. This is very friendly for newbies as a lot of people can't grasp the timing of vernalization. But Honghe Red has no problem at all and can adapt to most of the environment in our country. I have reason to believe that even in a few decades or hundreds of years, there will definitely be a place for the orchid world.
Although Honghehong has been down the mountain for so many years, it is still active in the front line of major orchid exhibitions. It is known as the "evergreen" of the orchid world. The once valuable variety is now in the homes of ordinary people, so if you like orchids, then you might as well try Red River Red, which has a very high survival rate and will look very charming at home. It can effectively improve the quality of the whole home. The main thing is that the price is very affordable, so it seems that the overall camera ratio is extremely high.
