Des, those are lovely blooms. You can definitely see some of the Fifi genes that are expressed. Is the plant large (big bulbs and very long leaves)? Fifi crosses tend to get big (like their madidum ancestor). I have a Len Southward, which is also a Fifi/madidum hybrid, and it's starting to produce pseudobulbs that dwarf those of standard cymbidiums. On the plus side, however, the blooms should be exceptionally long lasting (even by cymbidium standards, and another Fifi trait). Again, your plant has beautiful flowers.
