Cymbid shots beginning April 2008
Here are a couple of shots of plants that are in bloom at the beginning of the month...there's more cymbidiums out in the GH in spike; I'll post more shots as they start to open.
The first pic is Princess Elizabeth (though the clone name escapes me at the moment); the second is Ann Miller 'Zuma'
Enjoy!
Adam

Very nice Adam.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Lovely flowers, so sophisticated! Especially jealous of the Princess Elizabeth - such a nice influence from Cym. tracyanum in that lip. Any special blooming tricks you could share? All my other cymbidiums flower every year, but I have never been able to coax the ones with tracyanum-type features into bloom, no matter what I do...  |

They look great. The flowers look kinda starry in comparison to those of other Cym hybrids.

Very nice orchids. You are lucky to live north of the Mason-Dixon line. Here in the south they don't do as well. There was a grower in Homestead, Fl. that grew a warm weather variety but I beleive he was bought out.
I have only one which is a pendulous type called 'DAG'. Good bloomer, must be warm weather type??  |

Actually there are quite a few nice cymbidiums that grow well in warmer climes. I live in Hawaii and sell quite a few of these..If you are interested feel free to contact me.
This week I've got a Willunga Eyecatcher in bloom, a Sarah Jean, a Mad Irishman, Hugh Gordon, Miniature's Delight, Caitlain, Rosy Cloud to name but a few. All rather nice. |
