Cymbidium (pumilum x Alcora) ‘Apricot’

Cymbidium (pumilum × Alcora) 'Apricot' is a compact mericlone Cymbidium hybrid. The cross combines Cymbidium pumilum — valued for its refined, small-scaled proportions and naturally cascading habit — with Alcora, which contributes fuller flower form and warmer colour. 'Apricot' is a cultivar selected for its warm apricot tones, colour clarity, and tidy, well-balanced presentation.
