Cymbidium floribundum, commonly known as the Yellow Margin Orchid, is a perennial epiphytic orchid native to East Asia, particularly found in the cool to warm forests of China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. It is an evergreen plant that typically grows with a sympodial habit, featuring pseudobulbs up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall from which strap-shaped leaves emerge. The Yellow Margin Orchid produces arching inflorescences bearing numerous small, fragrant flowers with yellow margins and a central lip often marked with red or brown. Flowering occurs mainly in the late winter to early spring, and the blooms are considered quite showy, attracting not only gardeners but also pollinators such as bees.

This orchid is valued for its attractive, long-lasting flowers and its ability to attract pollinators, including Japanese honeybees, through the emission of 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid. It is often grown in containers or mounted on bark in cultivation, making it a popular choice for orchid enthusiasts. Cymbidium floribundum requires consistent moisture but well-draining media, intermediate temperatures, and bright, indirect light to thrive. It is not typically associated with serious disease or pest problems, but overwatering can lead to root rot. In cultivation, it is important to mimic its natural cool to warm forest conditions to ensure successful growth and flowering.CC BY-SA 4.0
