    Default Cymbidium aloifolium?

    This was given to me and I was under the impression that it was an atropurpureum until the blooms came out. I did my research and the closest match that I can find is Cym. aloifolium. Any comments or proper ID will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for looking

    Very pretty. I love the size of the blooms and the stripe in them.

    Very pretty blooms! It does seem like aloifolium, but would leave it to the experts to confirm.
