Hydro Cymbidium

Cym. Nut 'First Rays Red" in 8" S/H pot. Broke off spike #6 getting it out of the greenhouse.

Holy cow, what a happy plant! It's huge. Any chance of getting a close up of the flowers? They look beautiful.

I suspect steroids may have been involved here.
That is just STUNNING!

So... is that one in a Lechuza planter or a Dixie cup? :rollhappy:

I wondered if Cymbidiums were good candidates for S/H. Apparently yes!

 

[cnycharles]

nice!

 

[TyroneGenade]

Great looking Cym. Are those flowers staked or naturally errect?

 

[biothanasis]

Impressive!!!!

many moons ago, I imported about 500 "Chinese" cymbidium species a month, and this - being sinense x Red Beauty - was my first hybrid cymb.

I have another cultivar, 'H&R', that blooms with more of a greenish coloration, although this year it seems to be redder than in the past (old photo below), but nothing like "FRR"

Got it!! That's what happens when you get behind on posts!!

 

[SlipperFan]

That's gorgeous, Ray. I love Red Beauty, and this is a nice hybrid from it. The lip color comes through nicely, and the stripes are cool.

I love the colours on this, too!!!! Do you grow it the same way (s/h)???

 

[toddybear]

OMG! Another fantastic specimen!

Yep, they're side-by-side on the bench.

Wow! I should try that with mines before they croak.
