Cymbidium dayanum
We love Cymbidium dayanum! For the past two years, this orchid has resided on a hook below the eaves outside our front door for the warmer months (March-November).

Its tall gradated pink flower spikes dominate the growing area in July, when most of our outdoor orchids are not flowering. The only downside to the late summer flowering is that the flower spikes can be … [Read more...] about Cymbidium Canterbury ‘Coburg’
