Cym with a spike in November?
I have a cymb I bought in Madeira Island 8 years ago and it never bloomed.
Now, it has a spike in the beginning of the winter. Are there cymbs that flower in this time of the year? |
Damned if I know, but two of mine are in spike too.
I've had them for more than a year, but they never showed any sign of blooming before now. |
How are the temps in South Spain now?

Well, it is down to 10 at night now, and threatens 7 tonight and 5 tomorrow night, so the greenhouse is now packed solid with every tender plant out there. If I can afford it, then I shall build a poly tunnel next year to take the tender stuff that's OK as long as it doesn't hit 1-2 C

I presume those values are in SI units.:D
This weekend temps droped here to 14-5 ºC and next week predictions say 18-6ºC (sometimes reaching 2ºC). Until last week we had most days with 23-15ºC. So, a major change. I'm not sure if those spikes (yes, it's more than one) can handle such low temps. |
Down under in NZ Cymbidiums flower mostly in the spring however there are some flower in the summer months and the odd one in the winter. Have a look at the plants breeding if you have a label it should provide you with a good indication. To see it flower after eight years must certainly be a good feeling.

When it blooms take a photo and post it someone out there may know what it is.
Enjoy the wait. It is now our summer and I have four Cymbidiums coming into full spike ready for our summer orchid show in January once they flower I will post some photos. |

I was told not to let the Cyms go below 5C so mine are all in. Mine are both double spikes, - one was a treble, but the third one blasted. |
