Beautiful! I love these. How do you grow them in Florida? I've been curious, as I love them. I know not all can be grown here.

There are now a number of Cyms that do well in the warmth of Florida. Some that I have are this one, Cym Sylvia Miller (there's another thread with pics of her from last week), Cym Golden Elf 'Sundust', Cym Little Black Sambo, Cym Swan Lake, Cym Lake Arrowhead 'Geyser' and Cym Oriental Legend 'Wild Rose'.

Some of them are in aliflor and some are in plain fir bark.
I have them out by the pool so there's 20% shading from the screening. They should get "as much sun as they can take without burning" and when there's going to be a chill (not a freeze but a cold night), I leave them out there instead of bringing them into the room for protection.

You should try one

Thanks Sue--I think I will try one of those. I didn't know if you brought them in the house in the summer or what.

I have the room, and I just love cym's. Yours are lovely.

Beautiful Cyms Sue. They have nice markings.

Not only are the Cyms beautiful, but the green grass and trees in the background are beautiful as well!

This is the time of year I get spring fever , and envy all you southern folks.
