Hmm. I'm not that familiar with cymbidiums, but I think the flower substance is comparable to my aloifolium's. Do you know how that might compare to finlaysonianum?

Pretty much the same as aloifolium. So this could be dayanum crossed with either of these.

Good to know! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

The plant habit does not look like dayanum nor do te flowers. The leaves appear to be more coriacious (heavy and thick) than the graceful thin leaves of dayanum. I am not sure why you believe it has dayanum in it?

I suspect it is a bicolor or aliofolium hybrid or even a canaliculatum hybrid. Any of these will be happy growing in a warm environment. Finlaysonianum is a possibility, but the species itself is more rank in growing and not used as often as the other coriacious leaved species in the group.
