Cymbidium Australian Midnight (canaliculatum x atropurpureum) - seedlings
This is what the name implies - curtains of dark, burgundy-black flowers. Expect thick foliage bearing abundant, super dark flowers on pendant stems. They may be fragrant. Plan on giving them bright light and a cool winter with reduced watering (when mature) for best flowering. One of its grandparents is ensifolium, so this may grant it some flexibility with respect to winter rest as well as light levels.
Cym. atropurpureum is strongly fragrant - many people say like coconut - and bears long stems with high flower count. Color is typically very dark burgundy.
Cym. canaliculatum has long plumes of red to black flowers and high flower count, and is one of the parents of the famous hybrid Little Black Sambo. Note, the species reportedly prefers alkalinity, and many Australian growers top dress the media with a dusting of lime. For these seedlings, we have incorporated oyster shell into the media. That won't influence pH but will offer extra calcium, at least. It's unclear if they hybrid will have any opinions on this matter, but extra calcium is usually appreciated regardless, so its a safe bet.
You will get one of the seedlings shown, or one similar in size, recently potted up to 2.5" pots. They are a few years from blooming size. As they are seedlings, each will be unique.
