Orchids are known for their everlasting fragrance. If you put one of them in the room, the room will be full of its fragrance.
Such fragrance is regarded as "national fragrance", for, in ancient China, people believed "an orchid suffers an exquisite fragrance in the whole country".
Orchids with their unique leaves, flowers, and fragrance, often impress people with a very clean, elegant beautiful image.
In China, the beauty of poetry and prose is often compared to "the orchid chapter", the true friendship to "the orchid friendship", and the good friend to "the orchid guest".
