The Cymbidium is known for its striking size and appearance and therefore also referred to as ‘the King of the Orchids’. Its stem is hidden behind a forest of green leaves and its flower stems become rather heavy considering the number of flowers. When flowering, which it does for weeks, the Cymbidium becomes like a torch with pink, red, orange, purple, green, yellow or bicoloured flowers - sometimes paired with a desirable light odour.
