This plant has a label from Norm Porter Orchids, but does not appear to have been registered.

Does anyone have it in their collections or know the parentage?

My plant is approaching blooming size and I hope to see flowers this coming bloom season or next.

Norm Porter orchids is one of the larger orchid nurserys in New Zealand for cymbidiums and exported all over the world, it would not be unusual for a plant to be unregistered. the nursery has changed hands, but if you google it you should be able to email for information.

I see a "Kiwi Jewel" registered - could it be a case of a faded label? Kiwi Jewel was registered to Norm Porter orchids.

I agree with orchids3 - I found Cymbidium Kiwi Jewel in the RHS registry -
Cymbidium Kiwi Jewel = Cymbidium Phar Lap X Cymbidium Brook Street
but no Cymbidium Kiwi Jungle ..
