Cymbidium finlaysoniana is a soft wooded perennial that, like all orchids, is epiphytic.
They have a clumping habit and strap like leaves. The arching stems can grow up to 1m long and bear sprays of small, yellow, four petalled flowers with a red trumpet and contrasting lower lip in white.
The flowers appear in late winter and spring and prefer dappled sunlight and well drained coarse soil, they will grow in pots on shady patios, under trees or inside in pots.
