Most of my cymbidiums are the large Chinese hybrids, so the problem is getting
them cold enough to produce flowers here. However, I have one species,
findlaysonianum, which is warm-growing. I grow it outside 24-7 with the others,
but do try to protect it during a freeze, usually by pulling it up onto the
patio(cold but not as wet/windy/cold).
I'd suspect your freezes are both rarer and milder than ours, but you still
might want to keep a blanket handy.
I keep noticing that while the hybrids' bloom is definitely seasonal, this
species starts blooming in winter and is still throwing out new inflorescences.
Does aliofolium do this?
And where are the photos?
