an unknown Orchid in a botanical garden...

I still need your help to identify this orchid growing and blooming now outdoor in the Jardin Botanique de la Ville de Nice (France). It is possible to find it ID? Many thanks in advance. Bruno

It look like a Cymbidium. I am not sure beyond that which one it is. It is beautiful!

Cymbidium hybrid. Impossible to identify further.

Bruno, one thing to know when visiting there is that you can ask to the people working in the glasshouses and the park. If they know the name they will tell you. (I'm serious)

They do have the names for a large part of the collection, and are rather proud to tell if they can.

Many many thanks!!

: the problem is that rarely I can visit the Gardens on working days, but almost only during weekends, when the gardeners are no there...

Well, maybe a little mail to them with the pics would do.

Their address is:
jardin DOT botanique AT ville-nice DOT fr

An orchidophile in France visiting the garden last year had the same adventure and someone in Nice from one of the french forums went to the garden to ask, so I can tell you. (It was an hybrid Vanda, an old variety impossible to find, and they did have the name)

Thanks! Merci, je vais essayer de contacter le directeur du jardin.
