User's notes

I’ve lost the label and hope someone can ID this cymbidium please. It’s a locally grown one bought at the Twyford orchid club display some years ago.

It may be locally grown but it isn't a local native. I'll leave it to David to come up with a name if he can, but as a garden plant it doesn't really belong here as a sighting, so once (if) you get a name, you should delete it again.

Oh OK, sorry. How may I contact David privately for his expertise?

He should weigh in on this sighting eventually, if you have patience.

Hi again, Sorry, but David said he wasn't able to ID this as it is some sort of hybrid cultivar, not a true species. Your best bet would be to cart it, or a photo of it, along to the next orchid show, which is bound to be heaving with people who like hybridising things!

Thanks Jackie, good call, that's exactly what I will do tomorrow (2-11-19) at Twyford Hall.
