Hello,
I'd like to ask for help identifying this Chinese fan's artist and approximate age. I've included as much as I could given only three attachments. I'd be happy to send more details, if requested. The fan painting is now framed and was given to me by my father who brought it back from China in the 50s. Thanks in advance.

looks like a nice picture of an orchid though a bit beaten up, by an otherwise unrecorded (that I can tell) painter named Mao Jiling, dated to the cyclical year corresponding to 1951, but this might be a bit earlier, eg 1891.

Thank you! Can you or anyone comment on the calligraphy and poem?
