The cymbidium is gorgeous - great job growing it from a backbulb...It is so rewarding

Beautiful colors on this noid and group shot! I like that burgundy colored phal in the background as well!

How do you grow your cymbs in the winter? I am still trying to get the watering right :S I think I went too wet last year, and this year I'm definitely going too dry because they're shriveling. I'm just wary about watering too much without any active growth going on.

Beautiful group shot the cymb is a beauty!~Charm

Thanks for all the kind comments!

Calvin I know exactly what you mean! Although cyms are easy growers in our parts due to cooler summers and humid air...in the winter, we need a whole different game plan. In experimenting with this one, I even pulled it out of the pot a few times a year to check the roots for rot.

Most of my cyms are in LECA in clay or plastic. I don't have a humidifier and the thermostat is set at 67*F. They get watered 2x a week if they're in spike or blooming...if nothing's going on I usually forget to water them and they get watered every 5-7.

Your Cym sinense bloomed just gorgeously so I don't think you need to worry about anything =).

Beautiful plants. Love the group shot. Pinks and purples are my favorite colors.

Congratulations and great growing...

Well worth the wait! I've never heard of one trying to bloom in the summer before. Jet lag? LOL!

Sharon

Wonderful plants. Thanks for sharing.

Thanx guys!

Sharon - Jet lag..LOL. I think when I put it outside for the spring, it got confused. Let's hope it's on the right track now and I'll have blooms every winter.

Strange, the true color of the cym is only in the first photo. In the group shot, every orchid's color is accurate, except the cym's...I still can't get a handle on digi photography.

GREAT NEWS! This cym is fragrant! I smelled it today in the sunlight...it's a sweet fragrance with hints of lemon tea. Didn't remember a scent from the mother plant...With my awful memory, this is like blooming a whole new orchid!
