I'm sure everyone is familiar with orchids that are insect mimics and

Title: Warm growing cymbidiums.
Dan, there are many pendulous and regular cymbidiums that will grow and bloom happily almost anywhere in the United States. I know because we got three Homestead-grown cymbidiums awarded by the AOS last year. But you have to be careful where you source them. Mo
