Thanks for listing plants. They all are hard to purchase in Florida. I will just have to keep an eye out for folks that grow them here.

I have 2 Cyms now, Bllra.Tahoma Glacier Ithon, and Mtssa. Kauai's Choice 'Tropical Fragrance'.I keep them in a room with south and east facing windows,my pellet stove is in this room also. I have an old small baking pan that I keep with water in while using the stove. I've had the for almost a year now and both are going to bloom for the first time for me, they were in bloom when I bought them at a grocery store. I should add that I live in the high desert, which means DRY and HOT in the summer,and DRY and COLD in the winter. They are in clay pots with a mixture of bark, sphag moss and a handful of potting soil thrown in for good measure. There is lots of new growth on the first as well. I spray the top of medium almost every day as well, and water about once a week, letting the pots sit in the water for an hour or two, then I pour it through again and let it drain off. Will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do so using my cheapie phone as I don't have a camera to use.
Happy growing everyone, and thank you all for all the info!

Hi Deeann.. Neither The Bllra or the Mtssa are cyms. Both are intergenerics. fyi

Gosh! What a lovely collection! At the moment, apart from an ensifolium and a sinense, I have a Chen's Ruby; also a couple of Golden Elf Crosses on order... just found a UK supplier who specialises in the oriental ones. So it is all very exciting.
