Thank you, Gary, so much. What I wanted to show off here is Marni
Turkel's lovely and very effective Cym. pots. The plant is a new division,
but is blooming. You can see the spike on the right side behind some
leaves. I counted three new growths today. Chinese Cyms. are not the
touchy plants that a lot of people think they are, but they're sneaky. This
photo was taken over a month ago and it's grown considerably since that
time.

OL also sells goeringii.
Thanks for the tip

Planted in Prime-Agra? Interesting!
I have the high humidity to grow Chinese Cyms. this way, but I've grown and
bloomed ensifolium in several types of potting media and the plants never
seem to mind whatever I put them in as long as there's good drainage and
the medium doesn't stay wet.
Isn't Ms. Turkel's Cym. pot beautiful?

Marni Turkel? She's coming to our society in Sept. to give a talk.
I'm green with envy, Dot! If she brings some pots, buy a couple. The
glazes are beautiful and very natural looking. She doesn't do tacky. I keep
meaning to email her to see if she still produces the Cym. pots, but I forget
to actually do it. The one pictured above is well over ten years old and looks
new. It's been used for several different kinds of orchids and did me proud every time. Neos. in coco look particularly nice in her pots.

Are there more pictures of these pots? My mom likes to do pottery; maybe I can have her make a few.

Thanks, Angela!
Linus, this is the only photo I have of Ms. Turkel's Cym. pots, but she does
have a website if you just type in her name on your browser. There are
several photos of pots and choice of glazes your mom might enjoy seeing.
There's also some information on how she does the slightly flared lip of the pot. Is your mom an accomplished potter? It's a fascinating process.
I'd love to see photos of her work when you have the time. I'm a great
admirer of potters and buy their work anytime I find some. Please forward my best wishes to your mother!

Thank you, Carol, I'll check it out. I've found a couple of vendors, but the
Chinese names of the varieties of ensifolium confound me and I have no
idea what the flower color means or the type of leaf. I need a translation!

Yep, translation software is getting better and better, though with names it can give some funky results. Even if you go by the Chinese characters it is tough to figure out Romanized versions.
Here's the list of Jenosa (Chinese) Cymbidiums from Hengduan Biotechnology from last fall to get a taste of a few:
Hengduan List 2013
And an article I wrote about their business. These are great people to deal with. If you preorder they will bring the plants to the states on one of their lecture tours so you can avoid all the hassle of paperwork, etc.
Hengduan Biotechnology Article
I looked into the possibility of exporting orchids out of Japan, but given the relatively small interest in them (couple with high pricing), and more importantly the serious hassle involved I've decided to bow out on selling overseas, except maybe in bulk shipments. The reason why Japanese businesses don't bother with this is that there really isn't a good market there. Hengduan Biotech is a real jewel of opportunity.

The problem with translation is that the names are usually poetic rather
than descriptive. Many of the names are lovely, but almost impossible
to convert to English. I looked over the 2013 list and they have some
gorgeous kanran and goeringii.
Carrie Raven at Orchidphile will be sending out an e-mail list for fall...
oh goodie!

Angela,
I've got Carrie's early fall email list. PM me your email and I'll send it to you.
It's a 58 page PDF document, but you'll drool over the great pictures... mostly Phals
I've already done THAT drooling...so many Phals.! I'm waiting until she
gets the Chinese Cyms list later this month or next. I'm not overly fond
of all those hybrid Phals., but I'd be interested in some interesting species
I don't have so far. Thank you for the offer.
