Hi Orhids3 yes it is one of the best i've seen i think it was made by crossing Valley Splash x Khan Flame Both of which i have in my collection ! Maybe by some small chance, if i live long enough .........! I was lucky enough to get a back bulb and a flask of his previous winner, Lemon Butter "Tee Pee",a very well shaped yellow with a red lip and I am hoping the back bulb will flower next year. Can't wait to the faces of of my club members when i put it on the show bench , we have nothing as good here !

Wow it's beaut... i love it, and i'm not always sure what i'm looking for in Cyms. There's a graet pic of the plant in full flower in the Australian Orchid Review.

Apparently specifically, it's Cym Valley Splash 'Awesome' x Cym Khan Flame 'Racquel' if you have those particular cultivars?

Am in the part of the USA where very few people grow cymbidiums of any type - its fun winning them over. That plant would probably raise the other club members interest alright!
