Cymbidium eburneum (Indian variety)
Here's the second of the two Cymbidium eburneums in my collection. This one is an Indian variety, and the differences between it and the Burmese variety are the Indian's more rounded sepals and petals, and in the shape of the lip. The plants themselves look almost identical to me, and they share the habit of only producing two blooms per stem. But I do think that the fragrance of the Indian plant's blooms are a bit stronger than those of the Burmese variety's. This one's been an easy grower and bloomer so far. My challenge will now be to see how they do in our hot and very humid summers where I live.
