Yellow Cymbidium just opening

Here is a picture of my yellow cymbidium that is just now starting to rebloom. I had it in a shadier area before, and I guess it needed more light to bloom. I bought the plant for $10 at Gelsons grocery store, and I was surprised to find it so cheap. I had not seen a solid yellow cymbidium before, and I like its bright color.

Other cymbidiums of mine are now putting out spikes, after having been moved to get a bit more light. I moved the yellow cymbidium inside and hope it will do okay temporarily with less light. The spikes are getting very wet from the recent rain, and I hope they will be okay.

I thought I would add a picture of the cymbidium that was behind the yellow one. The yellow one is my favorite, but the purple one is more prolific. I brought it inside last week, once it had six spikes blooming (with two more about to bloom), but it does not get much light unless I move it to a different room during the day. The pot is a bit heavy, and I had to bring all of my phalaenopsis in when we started to have weather get below 42 degrees. I should be able to put those back outside by Thursday or Friday and get the space back.
