Cymbidiums are beautiful orchids that bloom in the spring and winter months, making them one of the most popular flower choices among flower enthusiasts. Their name comes from a Greek word for “boat,” referring to the hollow lip of the bloom. These impressive flowers tend to grow in tropical and subtropical climates with higher elevations with color temperatures. Cymbidiums are native to many countries around the world, including China, Japan, Northern India, Northern Australia, and the Philippines.
Cymbidiums have a very distinctive appearance, with thick, waxy petals consisting of five points. With over 44 different species currently cataloged, these beautiful flowers are a popular choice when classic style and elegance in a floral bouquet are strongly desired. And because they come in a wide range of colors, we often see these blossoms in corsages and boutonnieres. The breathtaking sprays can remain in bloom for up to three full months, making Cymbidiums a popular choice for both outdoor patios and indoor floral arrangements, too.
Cymbidiums symbolize morality and virtue. Even today, giving or receiving a gift of Cymbidiums is still considered a tremendous honor in the Asian cultures. In ancient times, these bouquets were given as a sign of friendship and ultimate respect. Here are some other interesting facts about the wonderful Cymbidium.
