Cymbidium suave

[Val72]

This one is a native Australian Cymbidium which is an epiphyte. Mine was growing high in the fork of a huge tree which was deemed to be dangerous, and was felled by the local authorities for public safety.

My son, who was in charge of the felling, was not going to see it put through the woodchip machine, so he rescued it, and brought it around to me.

I'm so lucky! It has tiny little green and brown flowers about the size of a lady's small fingernail.



I have shown the photo with my dog to give you some idea of the size of the plant and the log.

I cant stop focusing on the pooch (HEE,HEE).

Thank you, kspalding. Her name is Hexe, and she will turn 8 years old on the 13th of March.

Of course, she's not spoilt - at all! Just because she sleeps on the bed, and is the boss of the house doesn't make her spoilt…does it?

[kspalding]

Yeah it does and she knows it. I know....Im being overruled by my kittens.
