Introduction to Crystal Orchid: Crystal Orchid is neither an orchid nor a mushroom. It belongs to the Wintergreen family. The flowers of the crystal orchid emerge from the dark and moist leaf litter, with crystal white figures emerging like crystal-shaped pipes. This plant is very rare. It has no chlorophyll itself and does not rely on photosynthesis to survive. It lives in symbiosis with fungi and relies on decaying plants to obtain nutrients. It is occasionally found in moist mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. The onion-like scales are actually the degraded white transparent leaves of the crystal orchid, which is very similar to the orchid, hence its name. The slightly drooping flowers are solitary at the top of the plant, emitting an alluring white light in the dark, inviting people to stop and admire them. How much is the crystal orchid worth? According to a report by Beijing Daily, an orchid exhibition was held during the Spring Festival in Hong Kong Park in 2001. The most expensive crystal orchid in the exhibition had a market price of up to HK$15 million.
