Cymbidium floribundum (Golden Margin Orchid) is a small terrestrial, lithophytic or epiphytic orchid species boasting 6-10 in. (15-25 cm) erect inflorescences studded with up to 10-40 usually not scented flowers. Blooming in the spring, the closely spaced blossoms, 1-1.5 in. across (2-4 cm), feature reddish brown or occasionally greenish yellow sepals and petals and a white lip adorned with red spots. The slightly bilaterally flattened pseudobulbs carry linear, leathery leaves, 12-18 in. long (30-45 cm). Native to China, Taiwan, Tibet, and Vietnam, Cymbidium floribundum prefers cool to cold conditions for optimum growth. It is found in broadleaf, evergreen forests in shaded gorges and ridge tops at elevations of 1300-10800 ft. (400-3300 m). A most desirable and appealing orchid, Cymbidium floribundum has been used in hybridization to produce many miniature cymbidiums.
