Chinese Cymbidiums

[NYCorchidman]

I have bought two, one goeringii (in the dark earth colored pot) and sinense from Ten Shin Garden at a local show this past week.

I only developed the desire to buy these on the last day and by then he had just a few left, so I didn't have too many choices. I like them both regardless.

The goeringii is what was recommended by the vendor saying it is the best flowering type. It also has light variegation toward the tip of each leaf. oh, and it has one bud on it, which may or may not develop into open flower after having gone through international trip as bareroot in cold weather. lol

The sinense is beautiful as it is I think. The leaves are variegated the opposite way, having mostly light yellow with dark green edge.

I searched all over China town and Korean town in this freezing weather looking for the pots, and I found them! lol

I potted them up using large stone chips at the bottom, mid-sized hydroton in the middle, and then fine orchiata bark on top, top dressed with some decorative green moss.

Oriental touch in the apartmen!
