Little Black Sambo Cymbidium Orchid

Deep reddish black flowers with yellow edges to their petals are produced on long arching flowering stalks. The plant and flowers are small by Cymbidium standards. Like it's larger cousins, it requires a distinct cooling period in fall in order to set the flower buds for winter blooms.
