There are two basic types of Cymbidiums: Standard and Miniature. Generally, the Miniatures bear smaller flowers, but tend to have more blooms that the Standard type. Most Miniatures bloom from November through March, while Standards bloom from late December through May. Cymbidiums are basically a cool growing orchid. Here in Las Vegas, they are best grown in a temperature-controlled environment. Standard types can grow quite large and are often used for grand-scale floral displays.
