Thanks for sharing- they're absolutely delightful. Are they all standard size?

Love the second green one with white picotee and the last golden yellow one!
Only if I had a large cool room, I would totally try my hands on cymbidiums.

I am going to buy a cymbidium soon, I don't have any and they are beautiful plants. I have stayed away due to space, but I will find the room somehow.

Always keep in mind that Cymbidiums are not house plants. Before investing in them, be sure you have the conditions they need to do well for you. Read, read, read!  |

This is really true for all orchid genera. Find the conditions under which a genus grows and then see if you can duplicate that. If not, try another one. Growing orchids should be fun and relaxing, not fretting over lost plants because of poor conditions for them. Never try to fit a "square peg in a round hole", so to speak. They will never thrive and give you the pleasure you are looking for.  |

I always do research on any orchid I am going to buy. I just stayed away from cyms due to size. And so far I have never lost an orchid (knock wood) lol.
