Guess who's in bloom...AGAIN!
E cochleata must be THE most prolific blooming orchid ever!
Between the two that I have, one of them is always blooming! I'd say it's a must-have for any collection  |

Hi Suzanne,
I really like the E. cochleata and they seem to like Fla. Great picture.
A friend is suppose to give me a division when whe gets around to repotting. I sure hope it's soon. Everytime I see one I get this urge to look online for one for sale. Got to hold out for a little longer.

Awesome Sue!
Are these guys prone to an after-repotting sulk? I got one back in early Feb, repotted right away, and he hasn't done a thing since.

Not that I'm aware of, Yvon 
Just give him time...when he's ready, he'll give you an almost constant show!
What lighting do you have him in? |

Yes...patience patience patience...it's the name of the orchid game.
He gets all-day, somewhat indirect light from a southern window. You think he might want a little direct hit of sun?

Very nice! I have to get me one of these I think.  Aren't they native to FL? |

Maybe amp it up a little for this one. Mine gets pretty high morning light and then again in the late afternoon. |

No...they're native to Puerto Rico and The US Virgin Islands. You should try one, they're rather easy and the rewards are almost never-ending |
