Cymbidium 'Eight Treasures,' known as "Ba Bao Qi Zhen" in Chinese, is a highly prized and exquisite jewel among oriental orchids, particularly revered in Chinese horticultural culture. Its name, which translates to "Eight Rare Treasures," aptly reflects its exceptional and composite beauty.

This cultivar is celebrated as a classic example of a striped-leaf art orchid, or "叶艺" (yè yì). Its most striking feature is the magnificent foliage. The slender, arching leaves are adorned with intricate, clear variegation. These markings can appear as brilliant ivory or golden-yellow stripes, spots, or bands, creating a dazzling contrast against the deep green background. Even when not in bloom, the plant is a captivating masterpiece.

When it flowers, it adds another layer of charm. The blooms are typically modest in size but elegant, often in soft shades of green or pinkish-brown. They emit a subtle, refreshing fragrance. However, it is the mesmerizing, artistry of its leaves that remains its defining attribute.
