Encyclia cordigera

First bloom for me.
At first I thought the flowers were a little odd due to the curling but now I understand that this is what they do. Maybe it will grow on me but wow, what a fabulous fragrance! Smells just like a carnation to me.

Yum. In the past I had the dark colored version that smelled of chocolate so I need another. Lovely bloom.

They should call that var curly hehehe. It's cute.

I just came across online another type that is less curly. Click Here

Very nice! I've always wanted this species but I've never managed to get my hands on one with a decent price...

Well done. I’m a huge fan of this plant

Such an interesting flower. Mine always reminds me of a schomburgkia

Always a favorite, especially when its the fragrant part of the day!

After reading about the scent of this orchid I decided to find a nice one. I liked the darker blooms. This is what I got. The fragrance is wonderful. It arrived with five spikes. There was damage to the blooms in shipment but maybe you can get an idea from my photos.

Wow, that's pretty!
