Cymbidium sinense 'Xia Huang Mei,' or "Summer Emperor Plum," is a highly treasured masterpiece among Chinese orchid varieties, particularly revered in the Jian Lan (Four Seasons Orchid) category.

It is celebrated for its elegant and well-proportioned plum-blossom-shaped flowers. The petals are thick and waxy, displaying a delicate lemon-yellow hue adorned with distinct crimson-purple veining. The plant itself is robust, featuring upright silvery-green leaves with fine serrations, which complement the blooms beautifully.

Awarded a gold medal at the Asia-Pacific Orchid Conference, its fame rests on its noble yellow coloring, perfect floral form, and a rich, captivating fragrance that enhances any space. As a classic and stable variety, it is an excellent choice for both seasoned collectors and gardening enthusiasts, representing the pinnacle of orchid artistry.
