Yeah....what kind?

Anywho, I got an orchid for my birthday. I'll look closer at the tag tonight, see if I can figger out what KIND of cymbidium I have so y'all can point me in the right direction of some good keeper tips. =)
Cymbidiums do real well outside in Southern Cali. They need the temps to get down into the 40's(in winter) to intiate flowering. Leave it under a patio cover or tree so it gets almost full sun in winter and 75% in summer. They make long lasting flowers. i have a buch outside
