Cymbidium tigrinum
« on: May 21, 2015, 03:48:04 PM »
I often describe the tropical epiphytes as girl's blouse plants. Here's one that is about as tough as the epiphytes get. Easily grown in a commercial orchid compost and I do keep it frost free in the cellar under red/blue growlights in winter ( MrsG refuses to have my plants on the kitchen windowsill since my one and only Nepenthes hit the ceiling and started growing across it. That got the 'evil eye' so it is no more).
This one's not too shabby is it
