Bllra. Tahoma Glacier & Her Buddy Dorothy

[WaterWitchin]

Around last June or July, a friend and I traded our first starts of an orchid while repotting. She got a division of my Cymb. Dorothy Stockstill and I got a division of her Bllra. Tahoma Glacier. Each traveled across country in the heat of the summer.

I moved both to S/H and was surprised how quickly they adapted. Didn't figure I'd have blooms their first year. The fun part... it's like they're color coordinated and blooming at the same time! When viewing in person and without the orange paint in the background, they colors appear almost identical. Couldn't have chosen better mates for our trade.

Both of those are very attractive!

Very cute cymbidium! Is that a smaller growing one?

Not a mini, but certainly no giant either. I'd guesstimate foliage around 12-18". And since blooms are pendulous it's a good candidate for hanging. Saving that valuable shelf real estate!
