Hybrid Cymbidium

[Cym Ladye]

What is the name of your plant? It appears to be an old, antique hybrid.

It was sold as cymbidium. No specific name. I don't think it could be an antique hybrid. It's very easy to find in many garden centers.

I've been noticing there are some differences between the US and EU markets. He we can find a lot of diff genera for sale in retail stores and supermarkets. In US it seems this doesn't happen.

When I refer to "antique" it denotes a hybrid closer to the species, and does not have the fuller form of today's hybrids. It may have other qualities to make it a good pot plant for the public market, but unfortunately, without a name, its parentage can never be traced.

Form never sold an orchid so some hybridizers are reverting to the species to get different effects for the diverse sales market.
