In the wild, Cymbidiums grow on anything at all, in trees, on rocks, and regular old soil. First described to the science world in 1799, Cymbidiums have been collected and loved since then. Pots filled with green pseudobulbs, that is layers of leaves at the soil level clasped tightly around each other, form the bulbs from which emanate long, green, straplike leaves and twice yearly spikes bearing multi 5-petaled flowers in a row, huge and wildly colored in combos of many shades of white, brown, pink, purple, yellow, red, copper, and orange. The center throat of each flower is more decorated, sometimes a different color combo than the petals with dots and spots and fancy colored ruffles, presumably to lure in the insects and moths that pollinate them in the wild. Our Orchids are in full bloom, a riot of some combo of those colors, and we will pick the lovliest one on the bench to send to you.
