The Cymbidium Devon Wine Million Veil” is an impressive hybrid known for its deep colors and rich blooms. Its name refers to its velvety flower texture and luxurious appearance – a true classic for lovers of large-flowered Cymbidiums.
Cymbidium Devon Wine is a hybrid with English roots and belongs to the better-known lines developed to produce strong, richly flowering plants with elegant colors. The clone “Million Veil” is a selected form that excels in intensity and perfection of flower shape.
The flowers of “Million Veil” are large, fleshy and have a deep wine-red to chestnut hue that looks almost velvety. The lip is often contrasting white or cream, with a yellow throat and red-drawn accents, adding depth and elegance to the flowers. The flower branches are sturdy and richly set, giving the plant an imposing appearance during flowering. The foliage is long, grassy and fresh green, typical of Cymbidium-hybrids.
Lots of bright light is crucial. Cymbidiums tolerate more sun than most orchids and can be placed outside in the summer in a bright spot with protection from the hottest afternoon sun.
15-25 C during the day, with cooler nights in late summer and autumn (10-15 C) to encourage flowering.
A firm, airy mixture of medium-sized tree bark, coconut chips and charcoal is ideal.
A humidity of 50-70% is desirable, combined with good air circulation.
Fertilize weekly during the growing period: nitrogen-rich in spring and more phosphorus-rich in late summer, so that flower buds come through well.
Give only demineralized water. Keep the substrate moist during active growth, but reduce watering in the cooler period before flowering.
The flowering of Cymbidium Devon Wine Million Veil” is luxurious and impressive. With its deep wine red flowers and contrasting lip, it exudes elegance and class. The sturdy flower branches keep the flowers beautiful for weeks, making this one of the most beloved large-flowered Cymbidiums for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
