In another thread I discovered that peeweelovesbooks wasn't quite sold on Encyclias!? Figured I'd share some of my photos to try and sway her opinion of Encyclias. This might be a moot point though because I think I read somewhere that she recently purchased her first Encyclia?
I grow all these Encyclias outdoors year around here in Southern California...but a few of the photos, as noted, are of plants at the LA Arboretum. Not all of them are strictly Encyclias anymore...close enough though.
If anybody else has some photos that would help convert peeweelovesbooks into an Encyclia fanatic feel free to add them to this thread!
