Flower Facts | Cymbidium Orchid |
Cymbidium Orchid
Name: Pronounced SIM-bid-ee-um.
Cymibidium is the Latin translation of kumbidion, Greek for little boat, alluding

Origin: The ancestors of these exotic orchids came from Asia (Burma, India and the Himalayas) and Australia. Colour: Green, white, 'make-up' shades and pink. Availability: All year round. Care Tips: They can last several weeks. They like cool air and regular misting, and are sensitive to ethylene gas so keep them away from fruit, vegetables and dying flowers.
