Cymbidium (Kimberley × McClure Quest) 'White Night'

Cymbidium (Kimberley × McClure Quest) 'White Night' is one I've grown mainly for its reliability. The flowers are big-around 120 mm-and the spikes stand up straight without needing much support. Once the bulbs mature, it's common for them to throw more than one spike, so you get a good show from a single plant. It sits in that group of modern whites that just work.

• Water: Keep evenly moist during active growth; slightly drier in winter.
