Cymbidium goeringii 'Tian Cao'
I love this species!
This form has a very nice foliage with creamy margin. It stays small, and smells divine!!!
I grown it in pure Orchiata bark. Outdoor most of the year, indoor in winter behind a north facing window in the coldest room of the apartment.

the "Chinese" miniature cyms are really nice, I grow my ensifolum indoors - maybe I should put it outside in Summer. I have one of those longer cym pots which aren't stable though. I will have to make a plan.

I used to grow lots of these, but I can no longer provide cold rest in the winter, so I don't grow them.
They look so good!  |

That name is probably not correct. Does it have pleasant fragrance? If it is not fragrant, that is a Japanese Cym. goeringii, which I suspect, and not Cym. virens. From picture, it is pretty obvious, though.
天草 is pronounced 'Amakusa,' which is an area in Nagasaki Prefecture ( Amakusa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Amakusa is a famous place because of its history of Christianity in Japan, and also it has produced a decent number of Cym. kanran and Cym. goeringii cultivars such as 天草日進 ( http://ww5.enjoy.ne.jp/~abe.smt/imag...kusanissin.JPG)
I am not 100% sure, but I do not think there is a cultivar just named 'Amakusa.' I am guessing '天草' is not a full name, and in the mean time, the pronunciation was changed from Japanese to Chinese. I have seen changes in pronunciation in the case of variegated Cym. sinense even if all the original ones originated/discovered in Japan. I just roll my eyes. |

Very nice!!!
I used to grow lots of these as a kid, but now that I am an indoor grower without any cool room, I cannot flower them.
oh, well...
