Cymbidiums in Auckland--a question - Orchid Board

Hello fellow cymbidium growers, I will be travelling in New Zealand in a few weeks, and am wondering if there are any collections you recommend I try to see while there (aside from the range at Tuckers...) I will be spending the bulk of my time in and around Auckland.
Thanks!
Adam

Adam,

I just Googled New Zealand Orchid Society and found several links to growers, other societies in specific areas and more. This is an all genera Society but "let your fingers wander" and I am sure you will find the Cym. hybridizers.

Cheers,

CL

And don't forget to try their Fush and Chups!

Don't worry, you will figure that one out. I personally don't know what nurseries exist there but I understand there are a few good ones that grow Cymbidiums and Odontoglossums really well.

Let us know how you go, I will be most interested.
