Cyrtopodium Rustic Surprise

Cyrt.Rustic Surprise 1

Cyrt.Rustic Surprise 2

This beautiful orchid just finished it's flowering season, showing off it's special, luminous blooms.

The specie native to Florida, West Indies and Central America to Argentina and most of them have yellow and cream coloring sometimes described as "drab colors" in orchids publications, but I always wanted to try to grow more intense colors of cyrt. and this one did not disappoint.

The blooms are quite large and luminous and perfectly formed and the plant is of medium size. It's relatively easy to grow in our climate, however need a dry, cool resting period in our winter - "back of the bench" material for about 3 or more months and then as the weather warms up increased watering routine.

Cyrt. Rustic Surprise beautiful orchid that delights with it's colors, textures and slightly herbal scents.

Of all the plant groups, orchids are easily the most popular for cultivation and they have a huge following of devout enthusiasts in most countries in the world. Here in Australia they have almost a cult following - we have more than sixty orchids societies that promote and coordinate all aspects of their cultivation.

I have been growing orchids since my early teens and I am still a devoted disciple of this magical group of plants. This blog borne out of a desire to share some of this magic.

Orchids are the most fascinating group of plants and the cultivation of orchids has been described as a disease of the obsession with which one pursue new plants for the collection.
