As its name suggests, the dancing lady orchid looks like a dancing maiden with a swirling skirt. The majority of the dancing lady orchids are yellow and brown, but some are green, white and red. Some dancing lady orchids are small, while others are very large. The diameter of the flower can reach more than 12 centimeters.

Like most orchids, the dancing lady orchid also prefers higher air humidity. At the 10th China Flower Expo, which is being held in Shanghai from May 21 to July 2, the dancing lady orchids are blooming at full force, attracting many visitors. Here are some photos of the plant taken at the expo.
