Cymbidium goeringii "Kourin" (Japanese) 日本春蘭「光琳」

[jokerpass]

Took a better picture this morning. The bud started to develop in July/August (below the soil) and after 2-3 months, it has emerged above the soil. To produce a vibrant orange flower, the bud must be properly shaded so that it remains white. This is an early bloomer, normally blooms in early to mid February.

I love the intense, meticulous care these require!
