Morphological characteristics of song Mei

According to records, at the beginning of song Mei's discovery, the flower shape was a lotus shaped Narcissus petal, which gradually changed into a plum petal after being cultivated by many people. Its petals have fluffy luster and flower shape. The outer three petals are particularly tight and round, just like plum blossom petals, with tight edges like white edges. It's green in color and looks like a silkworm moth, so it's called silkworm moth holding. The tongue flap is short and round, slightly upward. The tip of the tongue has a small pocket, especially like the flowing sea of children, so it is called the flowing sea tongue. If there is something wrong on the tongue, it will be red. Long term artificial cultivation has led to bud change. Some flower tongues have turned white, and only red blocks remain at the root of flower tongues. The outer three petals sometimes open Lotus shaped Narcissus or plum shaped Narcissus. When the key of orchid is strong, it is easy to have double bracts and pedicled flowers. The main valve is round in the middle, the auxiliary valve is flat on the shoulder, the middle palace is round, and the flower appearance is very upright.
