    Default Cymbidium atropurpureum

    This is a highland cymbidium species. Very difficult to bloom at my place. This is only the second blooming in 5 years but the dark color is worth the wait.

    Congrats Mazlan for blooming this beautiful Cymbidium. Your patience has really paid off. I saw some being sold in the Cameron Highlands but never been brave enough to try growing them in the lowlands.

    Orchids teach patience and your patience certainly paid off with this cymbidium orchid. WOW! So pretty.

    cheers,

    Yes, I got it from Cameron Highland which is quite "cold" compared to my sea level location.
