I brought them in a few days ago after their summer hols in the garden. They were starting to bud up and today the flowers are opening. They usually flower around the end of March then again in October. Sometimes I get a few flowers at Christmas.

I put my Citrus shrubs outdoors in summer, also my Cybidium Orchids go under the carport for an airing.

Phalenopsis as you obviously know like a constant temperature. The Cymbidiums, which are in the conservatory, frost protection only, are quite happy down to about 7 oC occasionally. I have flower stems coming on two of my pots of Cyms.
Would you like some Cymbidium Hb? I have cream or yellow, needs splitting before it breaks the pot.

Thank you Hb, I am trying to reduce the number of indoor plants, so I will decline the Xmas Cactus, but will improve the one I have. Be in touch PM ref. Cymbidium.

That is quite the display. All blooming at the same time! I must look at mine which has been hiding in an Hydrangea bush. thanks for reminding me.
