My one and only lonely Cymbidium

[RJSquirrel]

is a Golden Elf.. I got it last year and it was in bud and flowered. Stayed cold all winter and this spring popped up 6 new pups for me from 3 old bulbs. I think I can grow the warm cyms



its a strong growing plant that likes the orchiata, charcoal and dyna rok like everything else does. enjoys the light and gets plenty.





hopefully I get some flowers maybe later this year?

Is this one from Odoms orchids??

I always wanted to get this plant! Was it nicely scented??

[RJSquirrel]

not from Odoms. It came from Clown alley orchids from one of the Hawaiian vendors. Its scent reminded of fresh green citrus smell. The smell of green lemons.
I got him some Odoms grwing buddies comin

its a compact grower I guess by most standards . It grows up more than out. I like plants that grow up more than out. You can get more plants in a tight space if they grow up instead of across the room

Looking good there!

I am surprised actually it has done so well for me but when I read about the golden elf it seems to be a fool proof cym noobs plant. its lived with me for over a year its pretty much foolproof

I do too. Hence, I do not keep many phals any more but keep dendrobiums. all about saving space now until moving into bigger livingspace.

Definitely a popular, easy growing, small plant liking warm conditions and blooming in early fall with a lovely scent. The cultivar 'Sundust' has been highly mericloned and is available through many, many vendors in all parts of the world.

Wow! That's beautiful! I got a really nice Golden Elf many years ago and killed it dead. Actually...he had all kinds of junk on it's leaves and I hated the way it looked. Nothing I could do stopped it....so I euthanized it!

I LOVE cymbidiums though. I only have one. Got it last year and it's a warm grower that has never done anything but sit there and look sweet. I'll give him a year or so and then give him away if he doesn't get it together. (Or if I don't get it together!)

his buddy is Cym. England's Rose x Parishii 'Green' .

Its really big...His growing buddy has been on steroids
