I am not quite sure if my Cyms buds got frozen or what.
How long do the flowers take to bloom from the moment the bud is formed.... I don't remember from last year?

Depending the weather, it can take a month or 6 weeks. So if the buds are still fat, they are fine. (If temperature was below about -1 C, buds can get damaged... At 0 C, probably ok.) Any warmer than that, no worries. If the buds turn soft and wrinkled, then they are lost - that can happen from heat as well as cold... just if they encounter something they don't like. But Cyms are quite durable. The plants are OK down to -2 or -3 C.

None of my buds (already on when I got them.home a month ago) changed at all. Maybe the Santa Ana wind killed them?

Cymbidium buds can tease you for several months. You have only had the plant for a month? That is not nearly enough time to evaluate anything! I have had the experience, multiple times, where the spike produces buds in November or earlier, then it just sits there. And I'm biting my nails for a February show, wondering if I will have anything open for my display. I walk past the plants chanting "Bloom! Bloom!" (By the way, it doesn't do any good...) They do or they don't. Orchids perversely bloom right after a show or club meeting.
With your new plants, you will learn a lot by just observing. They will do what they will do when they "want" to do it. After you have observed some number of plants through their cycle, you will then know what is and what is not normal. Cymbidum buds sitting there for a long time is normal. Orchids teach patience.

Hi Sade, just saw your post 10 days ago that the flowers still hadn't opened. I think from your earlier picture they should be ready anytime soon.
I just had to admire the beautifully grown plants you have again. Hope your flowers are ok.
