    Default Cymbidium quibeiense or Cymbidium kanran ???

    I just found this Cymb in the forest, it so beautiful. Each spike have 2 to 8 flowers. It have very thin leave (0,7cm) but long (up to 80cm).
    The colour so nice to me.
    I try to find ID of those Cymb and I found 2 name on internet have photos look similar but I dont know exactly name I should take. Please help me to have a final one.
    First name is :Cymbidium quibeiense
    Second name: Cymbidium kanran

    hi, its a really nice one, from my research i think you are correct with your id, if your plant has only 2- 3 leaves and a purple sheath, then its separated from the "kanran".

    That photo is outstanding! Looks like it should be a postcard. Beautiful orchid blooms.
