Cymbidium sinense x Tsurugi 'Murasakigenji'

Note that this clone is marginally variegated at the tip of the foliage. This is a Japanese 'Waran' compact Cymbidum hybrid which uses sinense to keep the plant small, but with taller foliage than goeringii hybrids. In addition, it can flower two seasons, summer or winter! These plants are known for their upright stems, which do not need staking. The flowers of this hybrid have a sweet scent.
