Cymbidium symphony

Cymbidiums are among the most popular orchids, ideal for the beginner orchidist and usually grown in large pots positioned outdoors. They have light green strappy leaves but come into their own in winter and early spring when they produce robust stems of flowers.

These large flowers come in light-green, pink, magenta, yellow, cream, white and brown. The blooms may have distinctively marked patterns on the labellum (lip) with many flowers on a single stem.
