Hi CL
Kobsukh has posted many photos of it in the wild growing in the ground. Suggest you follow material on his blogs..for more info

Is there a way to close the thread? I think, rather than arguing about this or that in my thread, maybe move it to a new one, thanks. :)

NYO,

You are absolutely right on here. More and more species variation is being discovered and the habitats where and how they grow shows differences from the original described forms.

That said, those growing the hybrids of today only need to know that they are dealing with a diverse set of genetic material in each plant and "average" care, unless you are growing the species or primary hybrids of that species as Bob said, includes the providing of a light, well aerated and good draining media for the plants to grow in.

If this thread has prompted research by the readers to learn more of our fascinating species habits, it has succeeded. If it appeared argumentative at times, it was not intended to be..

Happy growing and continued learning,

CL

Well, I just think that rather than hijack the thread, start a new one entitled "Are Cymbidiums x y or z." Thanks. :)
