Flowering cymbidium orchids - NOID

Most of my cymbidium orchids in bloom at the moment, bringing with them kaleidoscope of colors, scents and textures. While a lot of my time taken to catalog, document and record any orchid’s id, some of them kind of sneak in to my collection and happily bloom year after year without proper identification.
 Sometimes I wish I knew who created these orchids, because one can see breeders hand in painstaking selection of material and here in Australia we have many dedicated orchid breeders who constantly working in improving quality of plants and they deserve recognition.

Spots and lines and colors and structures and scents and textures on these orchids do not happen by accident - one can see breeders thoughts and ideas and hopes and dreams as they create and select plants just like an artist with paint brush trying many combinations, performing an alchemy with  living orchids plants.
