spring garden is full of orchids, especially <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/identify\/orchids\/cymbidium.html\">Cymbidiums<\/a>. Some of the flowers were mangled by strong rains, winds, and hail, but there&#8217;s still an impressive display. Along with the Cymbidiums in this post, there are also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/identify\/orchids\/masdevallia.html\">Masdevallias<\/a>, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/10\/how-to-say-coelogyne\/\">Coelogyne<\/a>, an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/identify\/orchids\/epidendrum.html\">Epidendrum<\/a>, and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/06\/the-streaked-rock-orchid-a-tough-mini-from-down-under\/\">Dendrobium<\/a>. Originating from the Himalayas, the Andes, and Australia, these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/category\/cool-growers\/\">cool growers<\/a> are tough enough to endure chilly rains and rough weather. Still, it&#8217;s incredible that they survived so many severe storms with winds over 60 mph (97 kmh,) and one with speeds over 71 mph (114 kmh.) Damage is evident on the blooms in the final two photos, especially the last one. Now that spring has arrived, the weather has calmed, and the flowers can really shine. It&#8217;s certainly a welcome change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dendrobium_striolatum_1000px.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
