        The Cymbidium genus includes a variety of beautiful orchids, and the term “spathe” refers to a specific part of the flower structure. “Bracts” refer to the modified leaves that surround the base of the individual flowers in the Cymbidium orchid genus.

        The spathe is a modified leaf or bract that surrounds or partially encloses the flower spike (inflorescence) in certain plants. In the context of orchids, the spathe is often associated with the protective covering of the flower bud before it fully opens. It can be green, colored, or even translucent, depending on the species. In summary, the Cymbidium spathe refers to the protective covering around the developing flower buds of Cymbidium orchids.

        These bracts play a protective role, enclosing the developing buds and providing support for the blossoms. When the flowers bloom, the bracts remain attached to the inflorescence, adding to the overall visual appeal of the orchid.
