These two are both abundant where i live and well worth growing. should thrive in florida climate. A well growin suave in full flower is quite a sight and they develop these long pendulous stems up to about a metre long (hence the common name snake orchid).

Cymbidium madidum and suave are ok. I'm drawn to color

on canalicultum. What are your temps & relative humidity in your area? We've been getting some decent rain showers here in Central FL lately, it will get pretty dry here on, out until November.
