First ever Cymbidium spike! Male
Default First ever Cymbidium spike!

It's a NOID. But still, my first ever spike from a Cymbidium!
I'm incredibly happy... I also wasn't expecting blooms till January-ish.
So far these have been the perfect orchids. I can keep them outside year round, and fertilise and water when I remember.
I just hope the flowers can deal with the heat were having

Awesome!

I found a spike (small, no buds) on one if mine near the end of July! That's very early for that plant ...

I'm very surprised. It's the only one doing it s well.
I'm a little worried. I feel like I should check the roots. But the plant looks very healthy.

Cool indeed. Maybe our day to night temps were different enough.
It was 67 last night but it's now 96.... hmm

Its so much fun What an exciting feeling. I love discovering new types that I haven't grown before because often times different species grow their flowers quite differently and its a big surprise all over again.
