Cymbidium ‘Green Honey’ (Cymbidium ‘A-one’x Cymbidium ‘Oji’) was developed from a cross between hybrids atthe National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration (RDA) in 2008. A crosswas made between green colored flower with red spotted lip of medium and small plant type, Cymbidium ‘A-one’ as a maternalline and pure yellow colored flower with yellow lip of small type, Cymbidium ‘Oji’ as a paternal line in 1995. The seedgermination, cultivation, selection, and characteristic trials were conducted from 1996 to 2007. The line was named as Wongyo‘F1-22’ and phenotype was evaluated 2007 as a new cultivar. The ‘Green Honey’ has light green basal color (RHS, G142A)on both of sepal and petal with red spotted lip (RHS, R53A). ‘Green Honey’ has about 11.2 flowers per flower stalk and flowersize of 6.8 cm. General appearance of petals and sepals is slightly incurved shape. The plant size is medium and half-erectpeduncle. Blooming was started from the middle of November (early winter) under optimal culture condition. Leaf attitude andtwisting is erect and weak respectively. We expect that ‘Green Honey’ has a great potential for domestic market due to thishybrid has attractive flower color, short flower stalk length (51.5 cm) and vigorous growth.
