Cymbidium Fifi 'Harry' a lovely pendulous one.
Cheers Wendy

Thought there was something familiar in its appearance: 50% madidum.

Oh really I have that in bloom also. It has a much smaller flower so my Harry takes after the mom no? *G*

I had a madidum hybrid at one time (sob). The flower definitely looked like
madidum, rounded and bouncy. Never know what you'll get, eh?

I could handle that!
I was just going to post this one of Cym Fifi 'Harry' along with Cym
madidum.
Dave down under made a comment about madidum being in the cross.
I have since looked at pics of Cym. madidum & they are not like mine. Dang!

'Harry' is the only awarded clone of Fifi. I guess it got an Award of
Quality back in 1964. Usually AQs are given for new ideas in breeding.
Mostly I recognize a madidum cross for having long pendant inflorescences
with a lot of space between the blooms. I'll ask around to see if Fifi was
awarded for this trait. Or for having clear colors. Kinda funny that
England Rose put the spots back onto the lip.

What I was trying to say in a roundabout way Kathy, is that my madidum may
not be the species madidum as it doesn't look
like the flower in J Pfahl's orchidpedia.
