    Default Cymbidiums. My hybrid, Award

    This is an intermediate Cym, Waringah Nights "Dark Beauty" which is a cross of Jessie Blakiston x Warona. Bred and flowered by me and received an AD. I think you will see why.

    That is beautiful.
    I like the vivid white borders all around the flower.

    Fantastic colour and the white halo is just lovely! Congratulations Roy. How long did it take from the cross to flowering?

    Tim, thats stretching the memory a bit too far. The crosses I made with the Jessie Blakiston grew 2 ways, fast from flask & flowered in 3 years ( approx' ) on 2 or 3 bulb plants OR had to get to 7 inch pot fulls before flowering. These plants grew well anyway so the time to get that size wasn't long. How long this one took, sorry not idea.
    BTW, there are a lt of crosses about using Jessie Blakiston April Love, that is not the one I used, it works ok but hasn't produced the color my clone did.
