Cymbidium Orchid – Viva Las Vegas
Posted by Alex in Types of Orchid 11 responses
This is another of my cymbidium orchids that currently flowering and its name – Viva Las Vegas.
It’s flowers are large brown/bronze color with spotted velvety lip and it was bread for cut flower markets by one of the most innovative Australian cymbidium breeders.
Its parentage Coratea x Pearly Pepper and plants are of medium size with only a few large flowers on each spike – but what a beauty! Its fairly new release here in AU.
There is nothing modest about this cymbidium orchid – I feel that Viva Las Vegas have “an attitude” – bold, uncompromising, showy, primal energy, “like me or live me” type of plant and its very interesting for me see the hand of the breeder when he was selecting parents to came up with new beautiful creation, like an artist with a final goal in mind.
Viva Las Vegas does not dissapoint and I am sure in the future it will be popular in many gardens around the world.

Very beautiful. It does live up to it's name.

Wow, what gorgeous blooms! I have a moth orchid with one bud right now that I'm hoping will mature and open, but nothing as showy as this. Beautiful!
