Lovely, but thieves better beware, it may fall on them. :>)

Looks like you passed on the "orchid-gene" to at least some of your offspring. ;)

Is this one of the cyms crossed with grammitophylum (hope I got close on the name)? I have one of that cross but it didn't bloom last season. Made three new growths and I'm hoping it will bloom this Fall. It came from Kawamota.

Cymbidiums don't cross with Grammatophyllum. I dug out the tag and it is Cymbidium 'Mitzi' (Cymb Angela x Cym madidum), SBOE grows and sells it.

Got it from Kawamota, Grcym Lovely Melody.

Grammatocymbidium Lovely Melody = Cymbidium ensifolium x Grammatophyllum scriptum
"A very new and unique hybrid between Grammatophyllum scriptum and Cymbidium ensifolium. Quite compact plants, around 12" tall, will produce sprays of brilliant yellow flowers reminiscent of it's cymbidium parent. Great warmth tolerance for those that have difficulty growing cymbidiums." as per Hybrids

Here is a photo of it - http://www.parksideorchids.com/image...lyMelodyWP.jpg

It is known to have a very pleasant fragrance as per Misc/Others

I talked to our local Cymbidiumn expert and got 1 step closer. He says it is not Mitzi as Mitzi is green. SBOE has a picture of Mitzi 'Mabel' which is yellow. He says it is an unamed cross between (findlaysoniaum and ????spelling/ cerise, cherise or something like that) I cannot find a record of the second parent anywhere. Help! Arthur?

Sorry Nick! No idea and just to confuse the issue those Grammatocymbidiums look like Cymbidiums. Not that I've ever seen one hereabouts, just relying on the University of google.

Big foliage and small flowers in the pure Cymbidium world come from Cymbidium madidum. Pic of plants and blooms in the other current Cymbidium bloom thread .
