So... my newest obsession is warm growing cymbidiums. I had several bloom for me for the first time this summer and I've been head over heels for them. Until now, I hadn't given them much thought as I wasn't sure I could bloom them. However, with my recent success, I'm energized to try a few more.

My conditions are rather warm, with winter nights falling to around 62 degrees F. I can't let them fall farther as I have grammatophyllums and vandas that would suffer. Also, summers here in TN get VERY hot, and the standard cyms I have tried fared poorly with the 90 to even 100 degree days we sometimes reach. Nonetheless, I still managed to bloom Golden Elf, Dutchman's Gold, madidum and dayanum (though this one never left the sunroom for the summer).

I have much to trade, of which this is a part:

Bulbophyllum (lepidum x medusae)

Bulbophyllum Frank Smith 'Vera Cruz' HCC/AOS

Bulbophyllum grandiflora

Bulbophyllum macranthum

Bulbophyllum trichosepalum

Cattleya Carl Hausermann 'Spring Beauty'

Cirrhopetalum amesianum var straminianum

LC Ann Agaki 'Hihimanu'

LC Pisgah Fantasy

Pelatantheria insectifera

Thrixspermum acuminatissimum

I may have more depending on what you have and how badly I want it. Here are the cyms I have so far:

Cymbidium aloifolium

Cymbidium atropurpureum (syn. Cymbidium finlaysonianum)

Cymbidium dayanum

Cymbidium devonianum

Cymbidium Dutchman's Gold 'Bonanza!' (Golden Elf x madidum)

Cymbidium Golden Elf

Cymbidium Golden Elf 'Sundust'

Cymbidium lancifolium

Cymbidium Little Black Sambo 'Black Magic' AM/AOS

Cymbidium madidum

Cymbidium Sarah Jean 'Ice Cascade'

Cymbidium sikkimensis

I'm especially on the hunt for trade/info on Cymbidiums canaliculatum var. sparkesii, elegans and iridiodes (not even sure I can bloom either, but boy don't they seem awesome?).
