Cym Bill Quinn 'Geyserland 4n x Fifi 'Harry' 4n
 
This is a plant which I won in a society lucky draw one evening . It has taken a bit longer than usual to flower i think this is maybe because it is 4n

Des,
I certainly like that one - beautiful flowers. How large are they?

Looking at Orchid Wiz - Cym. Key Largo (Cym Bill Quinn x Fifi) Yours has a little more red on the lip than a lot of those I find pictured but otherwise a lot the same - great looking flower. I like it very much.

Harry I dont have Orchid Wiz so I am unable to check . Would mine also be Cym Key Largo ? To be quite honest I dont know how all the naming business works

Recriprical crosses have the same name as I understand it and that would make it a "Key Largo".

Thanks Harry, from now on it shall be known as Cymbidium Key Largo

That's a beautiful clear yellow, Des. Whatever it's called, it's a keeper. Brad

Yes it is great to get a seedling that is worth keeping most of them are only good for cattle fodder :lol:
Des

:)I think so...fishing tackle?

Des, those are lovely blooms. You can definitely see some of the Fifi genes that are expressed. Is the plant large (big bulbs and very long leaves)? Fifi crosses tend to get big (like their madidum ancestor). I have a Len Southward, which is also a Fifi/madidum hybrid, and it's starting to produce pseudobulbs that dwarf those of standard cymbidiums. On the plus side, however, the blooms should be exceptionally long lasting (even by cymbidium standards, and another Fifi trait). Again, your plant has beautiful flowers.

Steve ,the the bulbs are not that large when compared to some of my other plants , I have some that are the size of pineapples! but it does have long leaves, and would seem to be very slow growing .
