A couple of weeks ago, a local flower shop owner was clearing out her inventory, and I, who was somewhat well acquainted with that old lady, managed to get one of the "Fancy variety Cyms" for a rather cheap sum of money. This is Cymbidium goeringii 'Yu Hu Die (Master Yu's Butterfly)', one of the famous double-flowered mutant variety of goeringii. The flowers were well past their peak as I purchased this one, and I cut them off after repotting it in a semi hydro setting.
Looks quite crazy, isn't it?
Some people might hate these kind of weirdo varieties, but I find them very intriguing, and there are many people who seeks these unusual forms--that's why double flowered varieties command rather hefty sums of money when well grown.
Luckily I got it cheap.
A totally weird Cym. goeringii variety
