Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Seems to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. Does fine in the high heat and humidity of the Gulf coast in summer, and stays outside most of the winter, into the mid-to-high 30°Fs.
 
Comments: Parent plant: The flowers of this cultivar have very fine form and are long lasting. It's my best Cymbidium sinense. I'm hoping to see an award on this in the future. Small plant.
