Cymbidium Memoria Patsy Bauman ‘Templestowe’

Cymbidium Memoria Patsy Bauman 'Templestowe' is a standard-flowered Cymbidium hybrid with clear, luminous yellow flowers carried on upright spikes. This plant is a single-lead mericlone (SLC), not yet at flowering size, so it suits a grower who wants to bring on a yellow standard Cymbidium from a young plant.

About this plant

• Flowers: Clear, luminous yellow with broad, smooth petals and a softly detailed lip. Colour is bright and consistent.
• Spikes: Strong and upright, carrying multiple well-formed flowers in vertical sprays above the foliage.
• Flowering time: Winter to spring, once the plant has reached flowering size.
• Type: Standard-size Cymbidium hybrid. Memoria Patsy Bauman is an Australian hybrid, and 'Templestowe' is the clone offered here.
