As any book or web site will tell you, the Cymbidium originated from the tropical and sub tropical countries that made up Asia. "Study without thought is labour lost; thought without study is dangerous".

They were even found growing wild in Northern Australia. It was a long time ago that we as a human species came cognizant of our special friend the Cymbidium.

Confucius was a learned man of his time, a teacher of men and a leader. His intent was to cultivate the character of man through observation, study and reflective thought.

These countries included China, Japan, India, Malaysia and the Philippines.
