Default Buying a cymbidium

Try this site. They sell only cyms. http://www.orquideas.com/ I grow both
large and mini cymbidiums in South Carolina. They spend the summer outside
under the pines until frost threatens. Then they spend the winter in a
minimally heated greenhouse where the temps are kept 40-60 degF. The minis
bloom starting Oct on through Dec/Jan while the full sized ones start in
early Feb and go through early-mid April. Despite what's written about the
cool requirements, my experience says that other cultural practices are at
least as important if not more so than temperature. Now, growing inside,
under lights, that's another story. I have no experience there. Good luck.

Can anyone recommend someone who sells really nice Cymbidiums? I saw some

on
Hausermanns website, but not a very big selection. I prefer the standard

size,
maybe green or pink flowers. Appreciate any help.
