Cymbidium goeringii var. alba
I got this plant from TenShinGardens, via Call-me-Bob in april this year. See this thread for details
It is called var. alba, which seems to be true considering the white labellum and all green sepals. A nice little addition to my collection

Hi,
How are you growing yours? I haven't seen any growth on mine yet. I must be doing something wrong. |

It bloomed for you!!! That's awesome! I'm so glad it bloomed for you! The flowers is spectacular, I can't wait for mine to bloom!! I have four of these left over, but I accidentally sold all the 'Lian Ban'  Mine didn't bloom because I didn't repot them out of the moss and bag for at least a month of having them, maybe even longer; they all had spikes but they died because I didn't have a chance to get to them. They do have 2+ new growths each though! Hopefully they bloom next season!
What's your's potted in? |

I potted it in orchiata bark like my other goeringii.
The LianBan had a spike that dried.
This one had another bud on the spike that didn't make it. They both have new growths  |

That's what happened to my spikes. :\ Mine are potted in a mix of fine fir bark, small perlite, and small charcoal. Hopefully they do alright! |

Alba means the total lack of red pigment in any part of the flower. It appears from your photo that you have some red veining in the segments. I would not call this a true alba variety.

I love Cymbidiums and I have started to collect them...but isn't easy to find natural species (not hybrid). Very nice one, even if I prefer standard form.
