Hi all,

I'm having trouble determining the artist of this Chinese scroll. One of the seals and calligraphy signatures are translated as Hu Boxiang but his works online are nothing like this (google says he is mostly a photographer) and the seals do not match. I also got a hit for Guan Shanyue off the other seal, and it does seem that some characters match the "GU" but I'm not seeing that's a match either. The poem didn't give me any leads. I appreciate all the help you guys have given me!

Thanks,
Chelsea

A secluded plant, all can know its steadfast purity, only secretly it holds its fragrance.
No gentleman has ever worn it, and this country's fragrance has never declined
