For some orchid enthusiasts, orchids are undoubtedly a high-value flower, and their pricing is very particular. Factors such as the variety, fragrance, petals, color, shape, and number of blooming flowers are all references for determining the price. Let's take a look at the common pricing standards:
1. Petals: The most important criterion for the price of orchids is the shape of the petals. Common orchid petals are long and pointed, without originality, while good orchid petals resemble those of plum blossoms, lotus flowers, and narcissus, which can be tens of thousands of times more expensive than ordinary orchids.
2. Fragrance: The fragrance of orchids is very important for their own value. Orchids have been known as the "best fragrance in the world" and "fragrance ancestor" since ancient times. Good orchid fragrance is pleasant and refreshing. This fragrance is not noticeable when intentionally smelled but rather envelops you when reading, resting, or drinking tea. Isn't it magical?

For example, everyone knows that the pink and bright red colors of roses and quinces are very appealing, and orchids are no exception. High-value orchids have bright and vibrant colors with strong contrast and unified color, with rarer colors being more precious.
4. Shape: Whether it's about people or other things, appearance is the first thing that catches the eye. In modern society, it's about beautiful girls and handsome guys with good figures and looks. The same applies to orchids; the overall charm, leaf posture, flower posture, and color of orchids are all factors that determine their price.
