New Warmth Tolerant Cymbidiums

[Fairorchids]

Back in Nov 2017, and Mar 2018, I purchased approx. 200 Cymbidium plugs. Most were seed grown and the majority had Cymbidium Yai as one of the parents. The only photos I have been able to find of this parent shows a pink flower with dark red/burgundy lip.

The other parents were:
Cym. Donovan (usually a pure yellow flowr, with good flower count [25-30/inflorescence]).
Cym. Via Ambarino (usually a yellow, or yellow/orange flower).
and a few other.

I don't know enough about Cymbidium genetics to predict what to expect. I budded one plant in Jan 2019, but sold it before I saw the open flowers. I am budding a large number of plants now (in 4" pots), so I am finally getting to see some flowers.

Yai x Donovan
These are blooming very consistently in terms of color (warm yellow with a dusting of maroon), but with some variation in flower shape & flower count. Most have 15-20 flowers/inflorescence.

Yai x Via Ambarino
These are also very consistent in terms of color (orange). Here the flower count is lower though (most with 8-10 flowers/inflorescence).
