Cymbidium orchid - Brown Beauty

Cymbidium Brown Beauty
This cymbidium orchid flowering at the moment, It’s Brown Beauty that turning out quite an interesting cymbidium.
 It came to me couple of years ago as small seedling and been growing and maturing since then. It’s been sitting on the bank bench for a while and last year developed a couple of small flowers that was difficult to judge, however this season it actually started showing it’s full potential and decided to bloom with these rich, dark brown colors. It probably needs a couple of more growing seasons to mature fully, but it shows great promise.

It’s a medium size plant, very compact in it’s structure and as all cymbidiums in our climate it flowers in our winter when not many plants are in flower, giving long bursts of color in winter time.

  1. Your cymbidium deserves its name of Brown Beauty. I have one cymbidium that has yellow flowers, I quite like yours.

  4. Hi Andrea and thank you for your continued support and friendship, I remember you were looking to identify native orchid and I am just glad I was able to help - you live in the part of the world where most rare and exquisite orchids grow in their natural habitat and it's always a privilege for me just to glimpse and to connect to this sacred, primeval, majestic, spectacular, unusual, unchanged, confident energy of native orchids. So I thank you for the opportunity...
