Default Is this C. ensifolium?

Favorite NOID ever. From what I've seen, it looks like ensifolium. But I have very little experience with Cymbidium. It doesn't appear to have the thick pseudobulbs that the grocery store hybrids have.

I would say it is a C. ensifolium, but in north hemisphere, the species always blooms in late summer and autumn.

I disagree--I have ensifolium that blooms near the end of April, usually just as the days are getting longer. It looks like ensifolium to me, but you never know...

Just beautiful…question?...I have a cym that’s in the process of blooming too do their flowers open all the way or do they stay slightly cupped?

I have a ensifolium V. Tie Gu Su Xin that will be on its 4th bloom in a few days in less that 1 year.
Wonderful orchids!

What's the trick to force flowering or to re-bloom?
