\"Cymbidium<\/a>\"Cymbidium<\/a>\"Cymbidium<\/a><\/p>\n

Last Saturday’s Gold Coast Cymbidium Society<\/a> Show in Redwood City wasn’t all Cymbidiums<\/a>, but there were plenty to be found. Arriving at the event shortly after it began, Dave and I were warned at the front door that the sales area was almost bare, having been quickly bought out by eager shoppers. I didn’t mind, since I already have more Cymbidiums that I can keep track of<\/a>, and the small show was its own reward. As soon as we walked into the room, we were hit with the strong, honey-sweet scent of Australian Dendrobiums<\/a>, one of my favorite fragrances. The orchids themselves were pretty spectacular, too.<\/p>\n

The displays were impressive, and included some great specimens. The first two photos in this post highlight one of them, an enormous, prize-winning Cymbidium canaliculatum<\/em><\/a>. This unusual Australian species grows in drier areas than others in the genus, and has thick, stiff, succulent<\/a> leaves. They’re very different than the typical thin, arching leaves which dance in the breeze, and which have helped inspire centuries of Cymbidium admiration in East Asian cultures<\/a>.<\/p>\n
