the undisputed king of golden-edge leaf-art Jianlan (Cymbidium ensifolium). Striking ultra-wide, bright golden-yellow margins up to 4–5 mm, razor-sharp and stable from new leaves to maturity. Even old leaves keep a clear yellow-green edge, never reverting almost never – widely regarded as the absolute ceiling of Jianlan variegation.

Flowers are just as impressive: vibrant yellow petals with red blocks, big red tongue spots, classic summer orchid shape, multi-flower scapes, rich sweet milky fragrance, excellent holding power. Well-grown plants can even bloom twice a year.
