I purchased this plant in 1999 from Orchids by Hausermann in Villa
Park, IL. It has bloomed faithfully every year since then.
Imagine the coldest days of winter when there is no color outside,
just white snow or yellowed grass and bare trees, and watch the
flower buds on this orchid as they slowly get larger and fatter
until finally, one day, it opens!
The blooms last for several weeks and have the most gorgeous fragrance
- a cross between hyacinths and roses. Heavenly!

cymbidium
via avanti 'peach fuzz' GS

I've learned to trust Orchids by Hausermann, so I really splurged
on this purchase - $65.00. But well worth every penny.
This cymbidium must be a rather new hybrid - I can't find a description
anywhere on the Internet. I'll treat it like the other cymbidiums
I have - let it dry between waterings, keep it rather cool at night,
and no bright direct sun.
I purchased this plant 3 months ago and it hasn't dropped a flower
yet.
