A Legacy of Excellence

The Cymbidium Orchid 'Ruby Eyes Red Baron' is more than a stunning addition to any collection—it carries a remarkable heritage. This orchid is a descendant of a mother plant that proudly won 1st prize at the prestigious Bankstown Orchid Competition many years ago. Although the original award has been lost to time, its legacy continues through this exquisite offspring. This plant also comes with a heartfelt story, having been lovingly cared for by a cherished elderly neighbour in her 90s. With its unmatched beauty and meaningful history, this orchid is truly a treasure for any enthusiast.

Renowned for their long-lasting blooms and graceful presentation, Cymbidium Orchids like the 'Ruby Eyes Red Baron' naturally flourish in bright, indirect sunlight.

Additionally, Cymbidiums are more cold-tolerant than most orchids, showcasing a resilience that complements their delicate charm. Whether placed in a sunlit corner or outdoors, these orchids transform any space with their timeless elegance, making every morning a little brighter.
