Cymbidiella rodochila

[Paul]

Quite a big plant that provides many flowers (20-25 on each two spikes).
Pepper fragrance.
Here is one of the first flowers to open:

Holy Guacamole! That is beyond belief! The colors...the colors...

This is a great species that I wish I saw around more often. Tell us more about it.:clap:

 

[Paul]

I have been growing it for only 6 months, with rockwool growcubes, warm temperatures and bright light. No rest period

 

[NYEric]

Does it like watering?

I bought one at a show several years ago and found that it was innundated with scale. The critters like to hide down in the leaf bracts where you can't see them. So, it struggled and died. I need to get a pest free one and try again! They're so cool.

Can't go wrong with any Madagascan species.

I'm opting out due to size mainly, but it's Oak Hill's special this month.

One of my favourite flower... Difficult to see it (blooming) in collections.... Wonderful, :clap:

 

[JeanLux]

I think it doesn't like to dry too much; warmth, bright light and quite high humidity the whole year.

here is the whole plant in background (sorry for poor quality photo due to high humidity) :

Does it spike at the base of a young bulb, or from an old one?

It spikes from the last 2 bulbs here.
