Cymbidium Nonna 'Goldilocks', AM/AOS, B/CSA When May comes around we can always count on this variety to still be providing us with some vibrant color. It is the Australian species parent,
Cymbidium madidum, that gives it this late blooming quality. Other qualities inherited are: a very high flower count, flowers miniature in size, large and robust plant growth, and heat tolerance that may make it suitable for growing even in some of the Southern states. The other parent is the legendary grex Alexanderi. This cross was made by local Santa Barbarian Mary Bea Ireland, who was legendary for her outstanding unconventional hybrids. This cross was registered in 1964 and is considered one of her best. Temperature Tolerant. April - May - June blooming.
