大花蕙兰是指兰属(Cymbidum)中一些大花型的原种及由它们作为亲本育成的园艺变种,由于观赏价值极高已受到各国人民的喜爱。在国外大花蕙兰的种植已有百余年的历史了,最初的杂交工作开始于十九世纪八十年代,是用碧玉兰(C.lowiamum)和独占春(C.eburneum)进行杂交并于1889年开花,之后受到欧美园艺界的广泛重视。同属的一些其它种纷纷被引种和作为亲本,如美花兰(C.insigne)、红柱兰(C.erythrostylum)、黄蝉兰(C.iridioides)等。1966年,在美国举办的第五届世界兰展中,大花蕙兰曾一举夺得40多枚奖牌成为了展览中的明星。由此至今的数十年中,大花蕙兰的杂交育种和栽培利用更是方兴未艾。在我国,大花蕙兰的栽培利用虽说起步晚,但发展势头、前景极好。首先,虽属“洋兰”但大花蕙兰与中国传统的国兰也较相似,其飘逸的叶片、高挺的花序、端庄的花朵,完全符合我们传统习惯的赏兰观叶的标准,而杂交育种则更是注入了新的内容,不仅有艳丽的色彩,硕大的花朵.而且还育成了一些带香味的品种,成为 Cymbidium Cymbidium Cymbidium is a large number of the original species and their parents as bred gardening varieties, due to the high ornamental value has been loved by all peoples. Cymbidium has been planted in foreign countries for more than 100 years. The original hybridization began in the 1880s with the hybridization of C.lowiamum and C.eburneum Flowering in 1889, followed by the European and American horticultural sector wide attention. Some other species of the same genus have been introduced and used as parents, such as C. insigne, C.erythrostylum and C. iridioides. In 1966, at the Fifth World Orchid Exhibition held in the United States, Cymbidium won more than 40 medals to become the star in the exhibition. So far in the decades, Cymbidium hybrid breeding and cultivation is more in the ascendant. Although the cultivation and utilization of Cymbidium started late in our country, its development trend is excellent. First of all, although Cymbidium is similar to the traditional Chinese clover, its elegant leaves, tall inflorescences, dignified flowers, and completely conform to our traditional habits Standard, and hybrid breeding is more into the new content, not only bright colors, gigantic flowers, but also bred a number of scented varieties, become
