    Default One last cymbidium - for today.

    This is an enormous, heavily flowered, white standard cymbidium, with just a flush of pink. I have very few white orchids, so I'm thrilled to add this to my collection. The color in the second photo, the closeup of the full cascade, is the closest to its real color. For some reason My camera wants to read it as pinkish blue, but it's really almost snow-white There is another spike coming right along behind this one. Yay!

    Very pretty and happy lookin' plant. I like cymbidiums but just don't have the room for them.

    Oh, I have absolutely no room for them, or the big gangly catts I love - and yet here they are, taking up all the no room left....

    Wowzie-dowzie! That's quite a looker - even with the pinkish hue the camera is throwing on it.
