Cymbidium tracyanum


A wonderfully fragrant Cymbidium, this species displays very long hairs in the crests, as well as the side lobe margins and the body of the midlobe. It is an epiphytic orchid meaning the plant grows upon another plant or object merely for support and not for food in its natural habitat, deriving its moisture and nutrients from the air.


The Inspire Challenge!


Take advantage of this great opportunity to show us how You do You!!!!! If you will be attending the GLFEE, this is a great opportunity to "INSPIRE"!

The only requirement is ENTHUSIASM! Bring everything you need for setup on Thursday evening, March 3rd. Contact Debbie Strand for details at deborahstranddesigns@gmail.com
