This is the only Cymbidium I've ever grown and bloomed. I inherited this plant from my step Father, who got it from his mother when she passed away. Apparently this was the only plant to survive those times. Anyway, I nursed it back to health for the past few years.
I grow it outside during the cold months and bring it in for the hottest months. I accidentally left it out in the freezing rain one night and the plant and buds were covered in ice. It didn't skip a beat!! I grow it in full sun from about mid-November to mid March.
Any thoughts on the background species/crosses?
