Three Cymbidiums

Hi!

I have three more Cymbidiums in my collection that are currently in bloom. I'd like to share them with you. First, I have a seedling that I purchased from Casa de las Orchideas in Solana Beach, CA. This one is Cym. Greenezelle 'Green Gold' x Cym. Lemon Butter 'Solana Jade'. The pollen parent is green in spite of what you'd think from the hybrid name. I couldn't find a registration for this cross.





Next, I have a mericlone that I purchased two years ago in a four-inch pot. This is its first bloom for me. It's Cym. Mighty Remus 'Vintage'.





Last, I have a surprise. I was watering my plants yesterday when I noticed that this one had a flower spike on the back side facing towards the fence. This is another seedling from Casa de las Orchideas. It is Cym. Rum Runner 'Tikitere' HHC/AOS x Cym Happy Hooker 'Ruby' AD/CSA. This one is registered as Cym. Bootlegger's Babe. My plant isn't gonna win any awards, but I'm very pleased with it. I'm starting to love the pendulous cymbidiums.





I hope you enjoy these photos.

Best Regards,
Nik

 

My camera didn't quite capture the wonderful color of this flower. It's very vibrant in person.
