Some thoughts on a cymbidium ID?

[allyqat]

Hello! I hope you are well. I received this orchid as a birthday gift from my guy He got it from a Trader Joe's, and the tag in the pot says cymbidium, grown by Chisan Orchids. I was wondering if anyone might have any thoughts on its potential heritage, etc. Please let me know if other pictures would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Majority of orchids sold in super markets and box stores originate in Taiwan. Since majority of mass market customers have no interest in a name, they do not bother with this detail.

I have some contacts with a Taiwanese orchid organization. Most of the time plants come in with a number, just to identify that they are from the same group.

You would have to know which importer, and then which batch the plant arrived in, and then check back to the Taiwanese nursery where the plant originated. This is an impossible process, so unless someone recognizes the photo of the flower, the name will remain unknown.

And, any name identified this way will remain a best guess, not a certainty.

Thank you for the info! I now consider myself lucky it came with a 'cymbidium' label. Now that I think about it, other orchids I've seen have even had the vague "Exotic Orchid" label. Thank you again for your help, Fairorchids!
