A pot of bluegrass worth millions triggered a legendary story.
Orchids are known as the "gentlemen among flowers" and have long been the standard accessory for high-ranking officials and literati. Some of the rare varieties have otherworldly names, such as "Tianhe", "Qinghong", "Drunken Beauty", "Purple Cloud Danxia", etc. Since orchids were designated as national second-level protected plants, the market prices of orchids, especially the exotic flowers and ornamental plants of Cymbidium, have skyrocketed. For example, the auction price of "Guizhou Dragon" is as high as 120 million, "Tianyihe" is as high as 20 million each, and "Legend" is as high as 12 million. Because the technical threshold for orchid cultivation is low, people in the valleys flock to it. After the epidemic, a large number of orchid planting bases and farmers emerged across the country. Many people became rich overnight due to orchids, and there were also some bizarre stories among them.
