Cymbidium goeringii, peloric form

[papayj]

For few weeks it has been freezing cold outside, with night temperature in my balcony reaching as low as 7°C, all my Phalaenopsis are huddling themselves on a heat mat, but as for my goeringii, it was the just right temperature it needed. The flower spikes, which lay dormant for months, began to move and grow bigger.




BTW, my tortisepalum is also sending up an inflorescence. This one is also a peloric.

One of the early C. goeringii bloomer is out of vernalization. Should bloom in 2-3 weeks time. It is grown in Toronto, Canada. This plant will bloom 4 years in a row. When the proper potting materials and strict cultural requirements are followed, they will bloom every year.

Bloom is much larger than previous, approx. 6.5 cm wide, which is pretty big for a goeringii. However, all of them are facing upwards, not side-wards as typical for a cymbidium. I suspect some lighting issue or problem with temperature.



Also, the sepals are also much thicker than last year's. Giving the flowers a very firm substance.



One of the flowers have a lateral sepal half-turned into yet another lip. Perhaps I gave it too much Kelp Max last autumn.

I don't grow any peloric goeringii, but I have a couple 'wild' type that open with blooms facing upwards. As the spike elongates over the following 7-10 days, the bloom shifts to its 'proper' location--can you post a shot again in a week or so? A bit of an increase in night temps and/or a light irrigation also seems to speed the process.
Are they fragrant?

A week past and it got really huge....7.5cm NS. The flowers turned a little bit sideways but still generally facing upwards direction. This is definitely an anomaly of a goeringii, and I REALLY LIKE IT.
