Is my Cymbidium "flirtation"?
Several years ago I bought this Cymbidium from a retail nursery and asked is they knew its name. The lady told me she thought it was "flirtation", but didn't know for sure, as it was a gift to her Mother-in-law in 1974. I will post a photo of it blooming in the reply box, because IPads don't use URL, and there is no other way it seems.

but I must say that yours looks the same as a picture I saw in OrchidWiz, even at a distance. The top petals are unique.... |

The petals are similar but the color of mine is very pale pink with deep rose spots. No yellow.

its just that cultivar is yellow.
In the awards description - it won 12 AOS awards between 1957 and 1964 - the flower colour ranges from light pink to deep pink.
