The above is mainly the origin of the ancient naming of orchids. As Lu Xun said, there is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, the side will become a road. The same is true of the naming of orchids. Orchids are nameless. After being promoted and recognized, they have names. Many orchids are still unknown, but some of them can be carefully cultivated and named by themselves, such as footsteps in an empty valley. This kind of situation is not much, what is needed is a discerning person!
