Cymbid shots beginning April 2008
Here are a couple of shots of plants that are in bloom at the beginning of the month...there's more cymbidiums out in the GH in spike; I'll post more shots as they start to open.
The first pic is Princess Elizabeth (though the clone name escapes me at the moment); the second is Ann Miller 'Zuma'
Enjoy!
Adam

Lovely flowers, so sophisticated! Especially jealous of the Princess Elizabeth - such a nice influence from Cym. tracyanum in that lip. Any special blooming tricks you could share? All my other cymbidiums flower every year, but I have never been able to coax the ones with tracyanum-type features into bloom, no matter what I do...  |

They look great. The flowers look kinda starry in comparison to those of other Cym hybrids.  |

Very nice orchids. You are lucky to live north of the Mason-Dixon line. Here in the south they don't do as well. There was a grower in Homestead, Fl. that grew a warm weather variety but I beleive he was bought out.
I have only one which is a pendulous type called 'DAG'. Good bloomer, must be warm weather type??  |

Actually there are quite a few nice cymbidiums that grow well in warmer climes. I live in Hawaii and sell quite a few of these..If you are interested feel free to contact me.
This week I've got a Willunga Eyecatcher in bloom, a Sarah Jean, a Mad Irishman, Hugh Gordon, Miniature's Delight, Caitlain, Rosy Cloud to name but a few. All rather nice. |
