In our view much better than the Cym. insigne that won the class. It has a very compact growth habit. Cymbidium wadae is obviously related to Cym. eburneum and Cym. mastersii. It was only described in 2002. Mr. Cym your comments?

I think it's beautiful and such an interesting semi-monopodial habit too. maybe a natural hybrid but one would have to ask, eburneum X ????? It has the leaf-end notches of eburneum. Far superior to the insigne, you are quite correct.

Well, at least it is something different at last at a show.
Very different growth habit, reminds me a bit of our suave, but different leaves altogether.
Mr Cym, if you had a piece and putting your hybridisers hat on, what would you do with it I wonder?

Probably just keep looking at it and enjoying it! Foliage would be a problem for pot plant lines and the short spikes also a negative to breed on from.

Thanks Mr Cym, I can see those two points as big negatives from a hybridist's point of view.
