Orchid: A love orchid that needs to be "held in the palm of your hand"
Heartland
Native to Central and South America, it is often found in groups. The flowers of the broccoli are large and colorful, and they are a species with high ornamental value, and most of the varieties of brachy orchids seen in the market today are artificially cultivated orchids.
The Latin genus of the orchid, Lycaste, is named after the daughter of the Trojan king in ancient Greek legend. Regarding the origin of the genus Chinese, the genus Bouquet orchid, some people feel that because at the time of flowering, the petals do not open and move closer to each other, like holding the most important part of the flower in both hands - the flower heart (lip petal); Some people also feel that because the flowers and leaves of the orchid are very thin and easy to be hurt, they need to be carefully cared for in the greenhouse and "held in the palm of their hands". The leaves and petals of the orchid are relatively thin, so it is also called thin leaf orchid. It has a large pseudo-bulb, leaves and flowers. The leaves are oblong-oval like rice dumplings, with a fan-like fold on the surface, and in the winter drought, the leaves often fall off slowly, and in the spring, new leaf buds and flower pavilions grow from the base of the false bulbs, and the flower pavilion usually has 1 flower.
The flowers of the broccoli are particularly large, reaching a diameter of up to 20 cm. The flowers are vermilion red, the petals are white at the edges, close to each other, hugging the middle lip flap, the lip flap is yellow, with reddish-brown patches on it, emitting a faint lotus fragrance, which is pleasant.
