Encyclia bractectens
Hello,
a certain Czech shop sells Encyclia bractectens. I never heard such a species exists, is the name wrong? I am aware of only Encyclia bractecens...
Do you think they have just the name wrong?
Thanks

The blossom in my avatar is E. bractescens, a particularly nice, very red cultivar that was lost due to a delivery miscalculation on the part of a former propane provider.
