    Hello everyone,

    I am just beginning to work with plants and I bought this one while visiting South Korea. I don't speak the language there and the lady I bought it from didn't speak English, but she wrote "chun gol" down as the name. I haven't been able to find out anything with that information. It is darker green than it looks in the photo, which is overexposed. I can add more photos of it if needed. Thanks!

    It is Cymbidium ensifolium var. album. It is called chul-gol-so-sim(철골소심, 鐵骨素心) in korean.
