Which is the oldest orchid and which is the most valuable?

1. The oldest orchid species

During the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Yusume was discovered and praised by the literati of the time. Its leaves are long and narrow, reaching a length of about 20 to 30 cm. The width is between 0.5 cm and 1 cm, and the thickness is relatively uniform. The height of the whole plant is relatively shorter than other plants. Its flower stem is not high, only about 6 cm. Both the flower stem and buds are purple-red, which is a relatively unique species among orchids. Such an orchid with a long history is still loved by many people today, which shows that its charm is indeed extraordinary.

2. The most valuable orchid species

If we distinguish precious orchids by price, then the petaled orchid must be the lotus orchid. It is very expensive. Someone once offered more than two million yuan to buy a plant, which shows how precious it is. Its blooming flowers are very unique, with bright and lively colors. Unlike other orchids that are elegant and quiet, this is also a very precious variety. Such orchids not only have a natural and rich charm, but also have a relatively deep beauty, becoming a way for people to appreciate petaled orchids.
