My father has had this cymbidium for some time. I have narrowed it down to either cymbidium pendulum, Cymbidium aloifolium, or Cymbidium finlaysonianum. Flowers in spring. And has an hour-glass shape on the inside of the lip. I'm no cymbidium expert but is the hour-glass shape a diagnostic feature of cymbidium aloifolium? i was reading on orchidspecies.com under aloifolium that aloifolium has an hour-glass shape inside the lip. Here are some pics. thanks

Im no cym expert. Ive got a few floating around but im still figuring them out. The foliage on youre plant looks exactly like my Cym aloifolium. Thick, firm, upright leaves. The flower however doesn't look anything the aloifolium flower. Very similar shape but the color doesn't seem right. And hopefully someone can correct me if Im wrong but I believe that Cym pendulum and Cym aloifolium are the same plant. I think.

Hi OrchidLover1982,based on the leaves and flower,your plant looks like Cym. finlay.It should smells some fragrant-to my nose.
