Spike time, a little further down the road

[stonedragonfarms]

Hello all, posting a follow-up to my earlier post. There are a ton of cymbidiums out in the gh that are in various stages of spike--I see new spikes on plants every day. Here are a few that are just waiting to pop. I'll post seperate pics as they open.
Enjoy!

Wow, this is great.However, this waiting for cyms to blooms is sooo long.I cant wait for the pictures!

Cyms do take quite a while to bloom once you see the spikes...though it's a bit compounded in my case--I keep my greenhouse between 43-45F at night, not 48-50F as most cymbidium growers that I have encountered do. The cooler nights delay spike formation and elongation, but I will gladly give up speed for better floral color and development, plus it cuts down on my propane bill.
