The name of this orchid in Vietnamese means “welcome spring”. People love to display it in their house on the occasion of Tet (Lunar New Year) for its long lasting flowers and great fragrance.
This plant has been blooming for almost one month now. However, thanks to the recent unusual long period of cold weather in the North of Vietnam, it still remains fresh and beautiful. I’m really happy with that : )
