According to Tsai, Japan, one of Taiwan's major export markets for Phalaenopsis, has long favored large white flowers, but the Japanese are not so fond of white flowers with pink stripes, since they look like blood vessels. However, Chinese and European consumers like striped flowers.
蔡媦婷指出，台灣蝴蝶蘭主要外銷市場之一──日本，向來以大白花獨占鼇頭，但日本人卻不愛白底粉色條紋狀的花，原因是「看起來像血管」，不過，華人市場及歐洲消費者對條紋花的接受度頗高。
