Orchids, as precious flowers in the mainland, are popular for their unique charm. They are often used as potted plants and placed on desks, windowsills or desks, creating an intoxicating atmosphere of traditional Chinese culture. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 40,000 varieties of orchids, and the number of orchids is increasing at a rate of about 200 every year. These orchids are a gift from nature and deserve our care. All it takes is one pot or a few pots of orchids to transform your home into an elegant place.
Today, I would like to introduce you to an excellent orchid variety, which once sold for as much as 300,000 yuan, but now it is less than 100 yuan. After flowering, it seems to have its own fairy spirit, and the flower color, fragrance, and charm are all top-notch. If you haven't seen it, you've heard of its legend. In the orchid world, it has always held its place. It is Chunlan's famous product - Loushan red. It originates from the Da Lou Mountain in Guizhou, and the older generation of Lan friends believe that its flowers are dyed red with the blood of revolutionaries.
The flower color of Loushan red is bright red and eye-catching, without any variegation, not even spots, and it is definitely a plain orchid. The first flowers are bright red, and over time, the color gradually deepens, turning purplish-red, and the more they bloom, the more vivid they become. This décor is less susceptible to the environment and planting materials and is able to show consistent beauty throughout the country. The contrast between the large red flowers and the emerald green leaves has become a classic. It perfectly fits the aesthetic pursuit of orchids by the Chinese people, and it is indeed worth cherishing.
The flowers of Loushan red have excellent stretching and belong to medium and large orchid varieties. The diameter of a single flower is more than twice that of an ordinary orchid, and it is extremely valuable for both ornamentation and collection. Although Loushan red is only one type of orchid, its market value has increased significantly in recent years and it has won many awards. It has become a bright pearl in the orchid world of the mainland, and it is amazing that nature is amazing. Although Loushan red is classified as a spring orchid, it has a fairly high chance of having double flowers. The flowers can be tall and short, or one in front and one behind, appearing intimate.
Due to its strong waxy petals and good water and fertilizer absorption, the flowering period can last for more than two months, allowing you to enjoy it to the fullest. After flowering, it is a sign that good things will usher in the home, the breeze is light, and the flowers are swaying in the wind, like a noble fairy, which is intoxicating. The fragrance of Loushan red is also one of its major characteristics. As a strong aromatic red pigment, it can exude a rich, mellow fragrance when it blooms. The longer it lasts, the more fragrant it is, completely surpassing many expensive perfumes on the market, and even eliminating air fresheners.
The maintenance of Loushan red is also relatively simple and highly adaptable, as if it is tailor-made for novices. It only needs to be extensively managed, and there is no need to worry about maintenance at all. Loushan red is a good variety that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and I believe that even if it is a few decades or hundreds of years, there will definitely be a place for it in the orchid world. Other orchids dare not say, as long as there is Lou Shanhong, the whole room can be called an elegant residence. That's where the best thing about it is.
Lou Shanhong won the Special Gold Award in her first exhibition, but disappeared without a trace that night, which is regrettable and was once thought extinct. However, around 2014, it returned to the market and showed its style again. When you are still struggling with which orchid to choose, Lou Shanhong is definitely the best choice. The neighbors will also admire your eyes and guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
