Unfortunately part of the flower stem broke in transit:
There is just one bloom left on the plant but it may produce some more as there are 'buds' along the spike which sometimes produce new flowers.
Also I have received a miniature Cymbidium which is in flower:
My original collection of Cymbidiums haven't flowered for about three years. Last Spring I split and repotted them. They are all showing new growths and one has rewarded me with a flower spike which will take several weeks before it is ready to show its flowers:
To finish off here is last week's weird photo alongside the original:
As well as distorting the photo to make a 'tiny planet' I added some atmospheric clouds.
exciting times for your orchids! That looks like a very prolific flower stem.
ReplyDeleteI like how your "tiny planet" effect made the action of the photo seem so dramatic.
Wilma: The old Cymbidiums I have can produce magnificent sprays of flowers.
DeleteYour Orchids are looking very well. I grow a few in the greenhouse but not very well, probably because I am catering for the needs of various other plants as well. Hopefully you will show us the flower when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteRob: I will certainly take a few photos when it get round to flowering. The cymbidiums live in an unheated conservatory where the temperature can vary between just below freezing to over 40C during the year.
