Fred, Great plant. The pedicels are so long, they look like they are trying to run away from the spike!

Yes I think is for the horns...

Frederico,

Amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us...and although it did not open for the competition at the show, it's still a winner to me.

Your photos are amazing to...the details are exquisite!

Those are fantastic, Frederico. Do you know whether this species can handle cool or intermediate winter temperatures, or does it require consistently warm temperatures throughout the year? Does embreei have a strong fragrance? Thank you!

Hi guys!

I was out for a few days, so I delayed answering you!
Akos, I think its a very good 'mix', 'cause it retains humidity (sphagnum, coconut chips) but it is still well-draining (carcoal, pine bark).
Steve, I remember it has a scent, but not so strong. For me it grows at more or less constant warm temperatures, 'cause our winter is mild. In my conditions it is an 'easy grower' (Stan platyceras, for comparison, is difficult to grow here, it demands more cool to intermediate temps)
