The outer three petals of a plum blossom are short and round, and the tongue is hard and uncomfortable. The basic characteristics of a plum blossom are: the outer three petals are short and round, oval or long-legged, and the "short circle" is the best. It also requires tight edges, tight roots, inward folding like a spoon, shaped like the petals of plum blossoms, and the side petals are better with flat shoulders. The valve tail is masculine, thickened with pockets, with white heads, white edges or white peaks in front of the pockets, and the edges are tight.
The outer three petals are wide and have no pockets, which is called lotus. The basic characteristics of lotus petals are: the outer three petals are wide and large, the roots are closed, the edges are tight, they are not elongated, and the appearance is like a newly released lotus. Holding petals requires a wider, shorter or slightly longer shape, without pockets and "white peaks". Lips are round and full, stretched and sometimes slightly curled. Big round tongue and big bangs tongue are preferred.
Second, the sample types are different.
The standard plum petals, such as Chunlan Song Mei, He Shenmei, Huilan Mei Cheng and Cuimei, fully meet the above basic characteristics. Plum blossom petals are distinguished by the masculine degree and shape of holding petals, including hard holding, semi-hard holding and soft holding.
The seven petals of Chunlan Lotus are: Dafugui, Cuigaihe, Wanneng Lianding, Duanxiuhe, Xianhe and Dakui Lotus. Sepals, wide, short and thick, lateral sepals extend horizontally, the base is narrow and slightly curled inward. Similar to lotus petals, the tip is blunt. Petals shaped like mussels without pockets are the most valuable. The lips are long and wide, and the tips are slightly turned inward.

Details of lotus petal orchids:
1, the length-width ratio of petals is 2: 1, or the length-width ratio is close to 2: 1. The ancients once said: "Lotus petals are really rare. They are eight minutes long and four minutes wide, and their roots are as thin as gentlemen's flowers. Their appearance is more lively than that of Zhang Lang." . This is one of the most basic selection conditions for orchids to enter lotus petals.
2. Outer petals: One of the well-known standards of lotus petals is to close the roots and put the horns. The cut-off point of lotus petal angle is one of the most important features to determine the shape of lotus petal. If the dividing point is near the middle, it will become a petal flower, and if it is too inside, it will become a lotus or narcissus.
3. Holding method: lotus petals are short and round, with thin roots and no pockets, and clam shell holding method and short round holding method are better (clam shell holding method is more common in lotus petals).
4. Tongue: wide and round, straight in front and rolled back. But it is best to hang lotus petals under the round tongue. Big round tongue and big bangs tongue are the best, followed by other tongue shapes.
