Default Cym. Little black sambo

I don't grow many Cymbidiums but the ones I do are all cascading types.

This is a primary of canaliculatum and madidum, easy to grow outdoors in the Los Angeles area.



Long 3 foot spikes with lots of small 1.5" flowers that have a slight coconut scent.



10 spikes showing and several more starting.



Got this as a 4" pot several years ago.

Is the color correct?
Because your flowers are a bit too red for the variety.
Ones I had and have seen were very very dark.

It's a little darker in reality, but still more on the red side.
I got it from SBOE about 6 years ago in a 4" pot with only two blubs, now in an 18" redwood pot.

Very pretty flowers. And nice to see what they look like outdoors. The only pictures I've seen before now have been of plants that were photographed inside, and the flowers were much darker than those of your plant. The colors (to me) are much more attractive where you took your pictures.

Beautiful plant! I wonder what its new name will be after the pc police get done with the Redskins?

Must it have such a horrendous name? I'd be embarrassed to have it.
