Requiem to a Chinese Cymbidium


This photo was taken in November 2005 in our Library. These are the cymbidiums of asian art. This plant did not require the intensity of HID lighting to bloom. It was tolerant of the south facing window in our climate. It did need more attention than I could give it. And it passed, I'm ashamed to say, from neglect.  Somewhere I have documented the species name... for this is a species, not a hybrid. Today I share the memory, and the photo.
