This is the first flowering of Khan Flame 'Lucifer' ,a cymbid i brought back from OZ in 2006 . I am hoping it will be bigger and better next year.

Very nice color for a cym. Is it warm tolerant? or is it one of those that prefer the colder weather. I would guess not seeing you are from Africa. I love cyms but here in deep south only the warm tolerant ones survive. I have two which do very well. They do much better on West coast then here in the South east. Thanks for pic.

Don all my Cymbids are the colder growing variety. It is quite cold here at the moment

The only thing wrong with it is that it is not in my collection. Very nice! How many flowers does it have for each spike?
If it would bloom or not would be questionable in N. Florida where I live but believe it is pretty enough to try and believe the probably of success is around 70% based on what I have tried and understand.

Harry it only has one spike with 9 flowers about 4"x4" . This plant has flowered way too early for some reason . The second plant of KFL I brought back with me has no spikes as yet. Regards Des

Bootaful, bootaful, bootaful! (heehee) Great color and a nice bouquet all on it's own. I wish I could grow them as cyms have always been a favorite, even before I started to grow orchids.
