Encylia's continued - Orchid Board

Continued from this thread Encyclia species

One of my favorites Encyclia incumbens (syn Enc. aromatica). This plant has now bloomed for the first time for after not developing a new shoot in the previous growing season. I must say I was rather happy when it regrew a nice new bulb this year. I have seen plants with even more flowers this one has 80-90. The smell is nice but not so strong as some other Encyclia's.

Encyclia cordigera or not. This plant is labeled as cordigera but I have strong doubts if it is a pure cordigera some things just don't seem right. Shape of the lip and also the lack of curving in the sepals and petals.

Gorgeous flowers. That first one is amazing with such a large spray of flowers!

Very nice plants! and I agree with you regarding the "cordigera"...

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

The 'cordigera' is most probably 'Rioclarense'. FWIW

Nice incumbens, too., I'd like 20...
Always looking for good Encyclias !

Encyclias are becoming one of my favs to grow in the east windows. They actually bloom in them also. The all smell wonderful.

wheres the alata? and the Mariaes?

Alata will be next the first flowers just opened in the last week. My mariae is making two flower stems but is not growing as I want it (yet).
