Cymbidiums come in a huge variety of colors, sizes, foliage types, and spike habits. Fortunately today, growers are able to sample from all of the above when they visit our nursery or shop with us at shows. We search the world for new plants to import, and do our best to breed what we can't find.

Never before offered via the website, we are featuring some of the cultivars we think are particularly interesting and that we have sufficient numbers to list. The plants are strong, the website prices more than tempting, and rest assured, we only pull the best for each order as it comes in. Take a look! Whenever you are in the area, please stop by the nursery to see the entire collection, seedlings and all!

We offer Cymbidiums in two groups:

Standards
Intermediates (Miniatures)
With all the current hubbub about pendulous cymbidiums, standards offer a departure from this fixation. Here is a new mix of colors and styles, all exhibiting Cal-Orchid's criteria for the desireable pot plant: compact foliage, and a spike habit that is in balance with the size of the plant so as to resemble a Living Bouquet tm.

 


Pure Glory
Though not awarded, this variety has developed into one of our most popular varieties. The flowers are an unbelievably bright florescent yellow which is so eyecatching. Very compact grower which can cary many spikes.
