It's very pretty, whatever it is. Not that it makes it suck any less to get something that you didn't want!

Honey coloured, unusual and very pretty.

It's a beauty! you might try Santa Barbara Orchid Estate, you can look through their cymbidium pictures, It's difficult with all the hybreds now days.~Charm

That's one of the most beautiful Cyms I've ever seen! I love the colors!

Sharon

Yeah!
It's odd because, these are not colors that I usually like.
I love whites, but I've never really been into yellows.
But, I actually, really like these blooms and the plant is tough as nails!;~)

The first photos were taken with sunlight breaking through, but then it clouded over and started to rain again.
So the light changed, as did the flower color!;~)

Charm
Thanks, but I sorta' tried that and just took a guess at the ID.
I was hopeful that since many of you post Cym. photos, that I could be helped along!;~)
I suppose, that I could've ended up with worse...
So, I probably shouldn't complain about not getting what I ordered!:~)

Scott,

Compare Cymbidium Pharoah's Gold 'John's Delight' third photo down at the attached url site.

Sorry about the spelling.

Make that "Pharaoh's"

Sc

Aha!
That definitally looks familiar! ;~)
That must be where the Sweet part of your name comes from!:~)
Thank you!

Now...
Umm, anything else you know about it?
I searched and used 'the Google', but found very little.
I love details, but this is a great start!
Jeeze!
Nothing that I ever have, is easy to research!;~)

Scott,

Page 3 of that same site has four more yellow/gold cyms, but none with the tweaked petal tips of your cym...and again, no real detail. That site is apparently in the Melbourne area and is (or is associated with) a wholesale (only) business called Paradisia.

I did run across a Cym page (new url below) which you might find more interesting (judging from all those cattle with the cute knees). This site, Bryants Orchids (also Aussie, in Sydney, NSW) includes an email address on the contact page.

Googling the words, Cymbidium Pharaoh's Gold, brings up just enough to be frustrating. Included in the results are two PDF lists of new hybrid registrations. The first (click HTML view--easier to read than PDF) lists three crosses (all highlighted) with Pharaoh's Gold, all attributed to Bryants.
I'm guessing that the Bryants can answer your questions. It's probably worth an email, anyway.

Sweet Cicely is one of those weeds (carrot family) with seeds that stick in your socks :)

I had a similar one in my backyard called Golden Elf that I bought at Home Depot:

and another one much smaller that a friend from San Diego gave me:
