Cymbidium Black Stump ‘Come In Spinner’ × floribundium – Rare Collector’s Cymbidium (One Only)

Cymbidium Black Stump ‘Come In Spinner’ × Cymbidium floribundium is an exceptional and rare cross showcasing the best of both parents. The deep burgundy-red blooms from Black Stump are enriched by the floriferous nature and graceful spike habit inherited from floribundium. The flowers are tightly formed with heavy substance and a glossy, velvety texture that gives them a near-black appearance in certain light.

This is a one-off collector specimen, not being sold as a flowering house plant. The flowers will be cut off before dispatch to ensure safe transit and preserve plant health. This plant represents a particularly fine form of this cross and is the only one currently available.
