    Default Cym Brenda 'Hi-Lights'

    I think it was Ron who posted a picture of a Cymbidium with a delicious pink labellum.. since then I have been searching far and wide for something similar.

    so trawling through vendor's lists and fotos, and i came across Brenda. I ordered a plant and got one with the start of a spike.. that was in June. A couple of months later and here she is and am I ever so glad! I truly love Brenda's pink lips!

    Cymbidium Brenda 'Hi-Lights'


    and here is a close-up of the flower showing the voluptuous lip.


    cheers

    Thanks for the lovely comments everyone... I'm glad Brenda is well liked.. she's right here with me in the study and is also providing a sweet little fragrance... sweet and not overpowering.
