Orchid flowers come in a wide range of shapes and colors, each with its own unique charm. The "Ruidie" orchid, known for its vibrant hues and harmonious arrangement, has captured the hearts of orchid enthusiasts around the world. Its striking visual appeal makes it a standout among many varieties.
When it comes to butterflies, the "Liang Zhu" is a legendary variety that cannot be overlooked. It was the first butterfly orchid discovered within the lotus petal orchid family. Created, nurtured, and named by Master Yang Jianchang from Jianchuan Yilan, this orchid features an elegant plant structure and vivid green foliage that beautifully mimics the appearance of a butterfly. Each bloom typically has 2-3 flowers, with petals arranged in a balanced and well-proportioned manner. The flower has a red-streaked throat, white flaps, and lips, giving it a distinct butterfly-like look. It’s as if the butterfly was painted in a freehand style of traditional Chinese art, with a fresh and elegant presence. During full bloom, it seems as though butterflies are fluttering among the green leaves.
According to Mr. Li Jian, the registered breeder of the Jianyang Butterfly, "This flower is just the beginning. 'Ye Die' is the most beautiful. 'Leaf Butterfly' may not be as showy, but it's still worth seeing. It doesn’t tire the eye, and the chance of producing a 'leaf butterfly' is quite high—every two or three seedlings may have one with a heart-shaped leaf and a butterfly bloom. While the flower shape may vary slightly depending on cultivation, the butterfly pattern remains consistent."
Mr. Lin, a renowned orchid expert from Taiwan, particularly admires this variety. He comments, “'Liang Zhu' has a flushed throat and a refined, mellow appearance, reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty beauty Yang Guifei.â€
As a high-grade butterfly orchid, its name is equally captivating. The name is subtle and deeply cultural, telling a touching and emotional love story.
The famous ballad "Butterfly Lovers" goes: "Bai Cao is full of green and blue flowers, double-colored butterflies, deep eternal love, Shan Bo Yongqing Zhu Yingtai. Classmates read together for three years, knee-to-knee, no doubt. Eighteen sentimental moments, who could have known one would not be on the first floor. A tower and do not hate the sea, tears dyed wings into the color of butterflies and flowers, experiencing the tribulations of truth, forever not separated."
The "Liang Zhu" orchid brought by the lotus petal variety is more than just natural beauty—it represents a mythical artistic vision. Many artists have interpreted this moving love story through drama, film, painting, and music. Among them, the composers He Zhanhao and Chen Gang used the folk tale of "Butterfly Lovers" as inspiration, incorporating elements of Shaoxing opera into their violin concerto, which has since become a classic worldwide. Renowned violinist Yu Li has performed the piece with such passion and emotion that it continues to touch audiences across generations.
The lotus petal "Butterfly Lovers" tells a timeless story: two colorful butterflies fluttering among orchids, symbolizing an eternal love that transcends time. The natural beauty of the "Liang Zhu" orchid reflects the enduring cultural significance of the "Butterfly Lovers" legend.
